Restoring an IzoT Commissioning Tool Network
You can restore an IzoT Commissioning Tool network from a standard IzoT Commissioning Tool
backup or a hot backup. If you restore an IzoT Commissioning Tool network containing only a
network database or an OpenLNS CT drawing, IzoT Commissioning Tool replaces the current drawing
file and/or database with the backup copy (unless the network does not already exist on a local client).
If you restore a backup containing both components, IzoT Commissioning Tool replaces the existing
files with the backup copies and then lets you open the OpenLNS CT drawing to recommission any
devices that have changed since the IzoT Commissioning Tool network was backed up.
The following sections describe how to restore a network database backup (standard IzoT
Commissioning Tool backup or hot backup), an OpenLNS CT drawing backup, and a full network
backup containing both network database and OpenLNS CT drawing files.
Restoring a Network Database Backup
To restore a network database backup, follow these steps:
1. Open the IzoT Commissioning Tool Design Manager. Click Start on the taskbar, point to
Programs, point to Echelon IzoT Commissioning Tool, and then select IzoT Commissioning
Tool.
2. Select the network database to restore from the Database Name list.
3. Click Restore. The IzoT Commissioning Tool Restore dialog box opens, unless the currently
selected network does not have any backups saved in the default location. In this case, proceed to
step 4 in which the Select Backup File dialog opens.
4. Select whether to restore a standard IzoT Commissioning Tool backup or an OpenLNS hot backup
(backup made while the OpenLNS Server is running).
• If you select the Restore from IzoT Commissioning Tool Backup check box, specify the
backup you want to restore. By default, the last file containing both a network database and
OpenLNS CT drawing backup is selected (unless one does not exist). To select a network
database backup, click Browse. The Select Backup File dialog opens. By default, IzoT
Commissioning Tool backup files are located in the
C:\Users\Public\Documents\LonWorks\OpenLnsCt\Backup\<network>folder. Select the
