Echelon LonMaker - Manual (Page 54)

38 Getting Started
The following sections describe the functions and available options in each tab of the LonMaker
Design Manager.
General
You can use the General tab in the LonMaker Design Manager to create, open, copy, delete, backup,
restore LonMaker network designs; start the LNS Server application so remote clients can access the
LNS network database; import a database and then create a new LonMaker drawing from it; and
defragment LNS network databases. To use the General tab, enter the following data in the boxes and
click the following buttons:
New Network
Network Name Specifies the name of the new LonMaker network design to be
created. The name must be unique to all the LonMaker networks on
this computer. You can enter up to 17 characters and include
embedded spaces. The name is not case sensitive; therefore, you
cannot create two networks with names that differ only in
capitalization.
The initial default network name is “Network 1”. The LonMaker
tool automatically increments the index in the default network name
so that the network names are unique for subsequent networks you
create using the default name. After you create a network with a
different name than the initial default, the default network name will
become the last network created with an incremented index. For
example, if you create a new network named “Test”, the default
network name will be “Test 1”. If you create the “Test 1” network,
the default network name will become “Test 2”, and so on.
Create Network Creates and opens a new LonMaker network design consisting of a
