Getting Started

4. Click

Open Network.

5. If you are opening a LonMaker network after starting the LonMaker tool for the first time, a

message may appear asking you if you want to enable macros. You must enable macros for the
LonMaker tool to function. See Working with Digital Signatures for more information.

6. Visio 2003 starts, your LonMaker drawing opens, and the Server Location page of the Network

Wizard appears (unless you selected the Automatically Determine Server Location check box at

Tip: You can click Finish at any point in the Network Wizard to skip the subsequent series of

settings in the Network Properties dialog in the drawing at the time it was last saved.

than the LNS Server and the LonMaker computer communicates with the LNS Server using
an LNS/IP interface.

See LonMaker Client Types for more information on each of these client types.

Select the Automatically Determine Server Location check box to have the LonMaker tool
