• To create a new OpenLnS or LnS network database named “net” in the

ilOn/db folder on your computer, click OK, and then click Submit. If you
selected OpenLNS or LNS Auto, the network in the SmartServer tree is auto-
matically synchronized to the new OpenLnS or LnS network database. The
time required for the synchronization depends on the size and complexity of
the network.

OpenLnS or LnS network database with a different name, click Cancel, select
an existing OPenLnS or LnS network database or enter an OpenLnS or LnS

Management Mode property is set to OnNet. This means that network
changes are propagated to the network immediately. Click OffNet to store
network changes in the selected OpenLnS or LnS network database and
propagate them to the network when you place the SmartServer Onnet.

13. Click Submit. The network name is changed to the name of the OpenLnS or

LnS database you selected in step 11, and you can begin using your
SmartServer. If you selected OpenLnS or LnS Auto in step 8, the
SmartServer
automatically
begins synchro-
nization with
the selected
OpenLnS or
LnS network
database. If an
item in the
SmartServer
tree is high-
lighted yellow, it
has not yet been synchronized with the selected OpenLnS or LnS network
database. An item is clear when it has been synchronized. You can click
Synchronize in the OpenLnS or LnS network property to manually resyn-
chronize the SmartServer to the OpenLnS or LnS network database. See
Chapter 5 of the SmartServer 2.2 User’s Guide for more information on
manually resynchronizing the SmartServer to an OpenLnS or LnS network
database.

You can create custom embedded applications and drivers for your SmartServer
with Echelon SmartServer Programming Tools. A demo version of the Echelon

To deploy your custom embedded applications and drivers to your SmartServer
or any other SmartServer, a SmartServer Programming Activation key must be
