Adding a SmartServer to an IP-852 Channel
You can use the IP-852 Configuration Server application to add a SmartServer to an IP-852 channel.
To do this, follow these steps:
1. Start the IP-852 Configuration Server application. Click Start on the taskbar, point to Programs,
point to Echelon IP-852 Configuration Server, and then click IP-852 Configuration Server.
The IP-852 Configuration Server main dialog opens.
2. Verify that the IP-852 Configuration Server is attached to your IP network. To do this, you
confirm that the IP network is enabled and verify the IP address of the IP-852 Configuration
Server computer is correct.
3. To confirm that the IP network is enabled, check that the Network status box displays “Enabled”.
If “Enabled” is not displayed, click Network and then select Enabled. The IP-852 Configuration
Server should correctly detect and display the IP address of your computer in the Channel
Description box.
4. To verify the IP address of the IP-852 Configuration Server computer, click Network and then
select Settings. Confirm that the IP address of the IP-852 Configuration Server computer is
shown in the Local IP Address or Hostname box.
5. If you are adding the SmartServer to a new IP-852 channel, click Channel and then click New
Channel. Configure the channel following the IP-852 Channel User’s Guide.
6. Right-click the IP-852 channel to which the SmartServer is to be added, and select New Device on
the shortcut menu. An IP-852 device is added to the channel.
7. Enter a descriptive name for the new IP-852 device.
8. Right click the new IP-852 device and select Device Properties. The New Device Properties
dialog appears with the IP Address tab selected.
9. Enter the IP address of the SmartServer in the IP Address or Hostname box and then click
Apply. This is the same IP address that you assigned to the SmartServer using the Setup Web
pages. If you enter a hostname, it must be registered with a DNS server that is available to the IP-
852 Configuration Server computer.
10. Click the i.LON Time Zone tab and set the time zone corresponding with the geographical area in
which the SmartServer resides and then click OK.
11. The IP-852 Configuration Server adds the SmartServer to the IP-852 channel and updates the
configuration of the SmartServer automatically.
For more information on using the IP-852 Configuration Server application, see the IP-852 Channel
User’s Guide.
Configuring the SmartServer as an IP-852 Router
You can configure your SmartServer as an IP-852 router using an OpenLNS or LNS application such
as OpenLNS CT or the SmartServer (from the OpenLNS tree using the LNS Proxy Web service). For
information on using OpenLNS CT to configure your SmartServer as an IP-852 router, see Chapter 2
of the IP-852 Channel User’s Guide.
To use the OpenLNS tree on the SmartServer to configure your SmartServer as an IP-852 router,
follow these steps:
1. Verify that EES 2.2 and OpenLNS Server have been installed on your computer. See Chapter 1 of
the Echelon Enterprise Services 2.2 User’s Guide for how to perform these installations.
2. Verify that an OpenLNS Server computer containing the OpenLNS network database in which the
SmartServer is to be used an IP-852 router has been added to the LAN. See Adding an OpenLNS
Server to the LAN in Chapter 3 for more information on how to do this.
