Raw HEX. Data point values are transmitted in raw hexadecimal
format.
Maximum Age Specify the maximum age (in seconds) to be written to the target data
points on the Web Connection destination when the local SmartServer
sends updated values to them.
If the Web Connection destination cannot communicate with the parent
device of the target data point, the Web Connection destination caches the
updated value it received from the local SmartServer. When the device
goes online, the cached value is written to the target data point provided
that time the value has been cached is less than the maximum age. If the
value has been cached longer than the maximum age, the value is not
written to the target data point.

Selecting a Network Management Service
You can manage a L ON W ORKS network using OpenLNS or LNS network management services or
using the SmartServer as a standalone network manager. To select a network management service,

LNS Auto or LNS Manual. In LNS mode, the SmartServer manages the network using an
OpenLNS or LNS Server.
Note: To use the SmartServer in LNS mode, you must have done the following: installed the
SmartServer with OpenLNS CT or LonMaker Integration Tool,or another OpenLNS or LNS
application; installed EES 2.2; and added an OpenLNS Server or LNS Server to the LAN (the
LNS Server should contain the OpenLNS or LNS network database in which the SmartServer
was installed).
For more information on configuring the SmartServer to run in LNS mode, see Automatically
Synchronizing the SmartServer to an OpenLNS Network Database and Manually
Synchronizing the SmartServer to an OpenLNS Network Database in Chapter 5.

Standalone. In Standalone mode, the SmartServer manages the network. You can use
standalone mode to install and operate a small, single-channel network that does not require
OpenLNS or LNS services or connections to other network management tools. Networks
running in standalone mode are limited to a maximum of 300 devices (for FT-10 networks,
you need to attach a physical layer repeater to the network to exceed the 64-device limit posed
by the physical channel).
See Using Standalone Mode in Chapter 5 for more information on configuring the
SmartServer to run in standalone mode.
Using the SmartServer as an RNI and IP-852 Router
