Management Mode
Select when changes made in your LonMaker drawing are
transmitted to the physical devices on the network.
OnNet Changes to the LonMaker drawing are sent immediately to the
physical devices on the network. Select OnNet if you are
commissioning an engineered system or if you are working on any
phase of an ad-hoc system.
OffNet Changes to the LonMaker drawing are saved in the LNS network
database, but are not propagated to physical devices until the
LonMaker tool is placed OnNet. Select OffNet if you are designing
an engineered system.
Once you have commissioned devices with the LonMaker tool
OnNet, you can make real-time changes to network variables when
the LonMaker tool is OffNet.
You can read and make changes to configuration properties while
the LonMaker tool is OffNet, but changes will not be propagated
until you set the LonMaker tool OnNet or you manually propagate
them (by right-clicking a device, pointing to Commissioning, and
selecting Propagate CP Values to Device on the shortcut menu).

Drawing Template Lists the templates available for new LonMaker networks. The
template is an empty LonMaker drawing that specifies a default
drawing background, styles, stencils, and other LonMaker settings.
You can select from the following three default LonMaker templates
that are listed:
• L
ON W ORKS is the initial default template used for new
networks. It uses U.S. measurement units.
• L
ON D EMO is the template used to create a demonstration
network. In a demo network, you can only create a maximum
of six application devices and LonMaker credits are disabled.
• L
ON W ORKS Metric is a template that uses SI measurement
units for drawing pages.
Custom LonMaker templates installed in the template directory are
also listed.
Root Subsystem Name Specifies the top-level subsystem name, which appears on the title
block on the top-center of the first page of each new LonMaker
drawing. Subsystem names may be up to 85 characters, may include
embedded spaces, but may not include the period, backslash, colon,
forward slash, or double quote characters. Subsystem names are case
sensitive. The default top-level subsystem name is “Subsystem 1”.
Initial Channel Name Specifies the name of the initial channel that is attached to the LNS
Network Interface in each new network drawing. Channel names
