automatically. If you have lost Echelon’s signature on a network drawing, you have three options: (1)
ignore the macro warnings as described in the next paragraph; (2) disable macro warnings as described
in the next paragraph; or (3) sign the drawing with your company’s digital signature as described at

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/digitally-sign-a-macro-project-HA001231781.aspx

.

If an OpenLNS CT drawing does not have a digital signature, you will see the macro warning dialog
and will have to enable macros every time the network drawing is opened, provided Visio’s macro
security is set to medium (the default). In order to change Visio’s macro security, open the Tools
menu, point to Macro and then select Security. A dialog opens allowing you to select Low, Medium,
or High security.

• If you select Low security, you will never see the macro warning.
• If you select Medium security, you will be prompted to enable macros for unsigned network

drawings or network drawings signed by companies that have not been added to the trusted
signatures list.

• If you select High security, macros will automatically be disabled (and IzoT Commissioning Tool

will not function) for unsigned network drawings, and you will be prompted to enable macros for
network drawings signed by companies that have not been added to the trusted signatures list.

Visio’s security level is persistent. When you change Visio’s security level, it will be the security level
for Visio every time it is started until you change it again.

Tip: If your drawing contains ActiveX controls, change the security setting to Low. Otherwise, Visio
will prompt you each time the drawing is opened as to whether to activate the controls.

Copying an IzoT Commissioning Tool Network Design

You can create a new IzoT Commissioning Tool network design by copying an existing one. You can
use this procedure to reuse the drawings, options, plug-ins, master SmartShapes, and device templates
of an existing network design. You can also use this procedure to reduce the time required to create a
new network. To do this, create an empty network design with all your desired plug-ins already
registered, and then copy the empty network design for each new network that you create. To copy an
existing IzoT Commissioning Tool network design, you must use IzoT Commissioning Tool on a local
client

To create a new IzoT Commissioning Tool network design by copying an existing one, follow these
steps:

1. Click Start on the taskbar, point to Programs, point to Echelon IzoT Commissioning Tool, and

then select IzoT Commissioning Tool. The IzoT Commissioning Tool Design Manager opens.

2. Choose an IzoT Commissioning Tool network to copy. Under Existing Network, select a

drawing directory from the Drawing Directory list, and then select the network you want to copy
from the Drawing Name list. Click Open Copy. A message opens prompting you to confirm
that you want to open a copy of the selected network, which will create copies of the OpenLNS
network database and all the drawings in the network.
