number of functional blocks and data points on the device.
If you click Copy All to copy the device and all of its functional blocks and
data points to the SmartServer tree, and there are more items than can be
cached by your Web browser, the Automatic Submit? dialog opens. Click
Auto Submit to continue copying the items to the SmartServer tree, or click
Lose Changes to stop the copy operation. If you click Auto Submit,
additional copies from the OpenLNS tree will be sent to the local
SmartServer tree when a batch is ready.
Create Ext. Dev.
(use Template) This option is only available in the OpenLNS tree when there are no remote
SmartServers on the LAN. Opens the Choose File dialog, in which you
select a device template that is used to copy specific data points in the device
interface to the local SmartServer. See Creating External Data Points from
Device Templates later in this section for more information.
Copy External
Device This option is only available in the OpenLNS tree when there are one or
more remote SmartServers on the LAN. Copies the device and all of its
children functional blocks and data points. The copied objects can then be
pasted to a target SmartServer using the Paste External shortcut command
on any network object in the target SmartServer tree (if the target
SmartServer is synchronized with the OpenLNS database in which the
copied objects are stored). After the copied objects are pasted to the
SmartServer tree, they can be managed with the target SmartServer.
Paste External This option is only available in the SmartServer tree when there are one or
more remote SmartServers on the LAN, and it only appears after you have
used the Copy External <object> on an object in the OpenLNS tree. Adds
an object copied from the OpenLNS tree and all of its parent and child
objects to the network tree of the target SmartServer.
If you click this command after copying a channel or device in the
OpenLNS tree and there are one or more devices on the channel that do not
already exist in the local SmartServer’s internal database, the Omit FBs?
dialog opens. By default, only the device is copied to the target SmartServer
tree. Click Omit FBs to accept the default and copy only the device, or
click Copy All to also copy the functional blocks and data points on the
device to the target SmartServer tree. The time required to complete the
copy operation depends on the number of functional blocks and data points
on the device.
If you click Copy All to copy the device and all of its functional blocks and
data points to the target SmartServer tree, and there are more items than can
be cached by your Web browser, the Automatic Submit? dialog opens.
Click Auto Submit to continue copying the items to the SmartServer tree, or
click Lose Changes to stop the copy operation. If you click Auto Submit,
additional copies from the OpenLNS tree will be sent to the target
SmartServer tree when a batch is ready.
Note: The target SmartServer must be synchronized with the OpenLNS
network database in which the copied object is stored in order to perform
this operation.
Paste Ext. Dev.
(use Template) This option is only available in the SmartServer tree, and it only appears
after you have used the Copy External Device option on a device in the
OpenLNS tree. Opens the Choose File dialog, in which you select a device
template that is used to copy specific data points in the device interface to
the local SmartServer. See Creating External Data Points from Device
Templates later in this section for more information.
