Configuring and Managing the SmartServer
profile (for example, "X.Default" is the name of the default profile). If you
enter "myRNI" for example, the name of your RNI by default will be
"X.Default.myRNI".
Optionally, select the xDriver profile to be used by your RNI. Typically,
you will use the Default Profile; however, you can select a different
profile. An xDriver profile represents a set of configuration parameters
that determine how xDriver manages a group of connections. The profile
that xDriver uses for each connection is determined on a
session-by-session basis.
IP Address/
Hostname
Specifies the hostname or IP address of the RNI. 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 computer on which the L
ON
W
ORKS
Interfaces application
is running
You may enter a hostname (for example, myilon.mynet.com), IPv4
address (for example, 192.168.1.1), or IPv6 address (for example,
FEDC:BA98:7654:3210:0123:4567:89AB:CDEF). You may enter any
valid IPv6 notation in addition to the preferred form shown above.
If you enter an IPv6 address, the address you enter must conform to the
IPv6 addressing standards. The following provides two example IPv6
addresses:
2002:1234:0000:0000:02d0:71ff:fe00:00aa
2002:1234::2d0:71ff:fe00:aa
For more information about IPv6 addressing, see "RFC 3513 - Internet
Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Addressing Architecture" at
Section 2.2 of the RFC describes the
addressing formats shown above in more detail.
In the Port box, enter the port number on which the SmartServer should
listen for messages when it is used as an RNI. The default port is 1628.
Authentication
Specify how connections between the SmartServer RNI and the OpenLNS
Server are authenticated. Using authentication prevents the RNI or
OpenLNS Server from responding to unauthorized messages during an
xDriver session. You have the following two choices:
Use MD5 Key. Enter a 32-character hexadecimal string representing
a 128-bit MD5 key. The 32 characters must be entered in
colon-separated pairs. For example:
A9:04:87:49:F4:BF:89:59:03:10:C5:47:BD:45:94:D7.
This key must match the MD5 authentication key configured into the
device. Setting the authentication key to all 0s causes xDriver to use
the pre-defined, default factory authentication key for the
SmartServer RNI device. For security reasons, do not use the default
authentication key. This is the default authentication type.
Use Secret Phrase. Enter a 16 to 63 character string that matches the
text secret phrase configured into the SmartServer RNI device.
