following steps 2–3. If you are using Standalone network management on the SmartServer, skip
to step 4.
2. Commission the SmartServer with OpenLNS CT, OpenLNS tree, or another OpenLNS
application. For more information on installing the SmartServer, see Installing the SmartServer
with OpenLNS CT in Chapter 12.
3. Synchronize the target SmartServer to the OpenLNS network database in which the target
SmartServer was installed in step 2. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Verify that EES 2.2 and OpenLNS Server have been installed on your computer. See Chapter
1 of the Echelon Enterprise Services 2.2 User’s Guide for how to perform these installations.
b. Add the OpenLNS Server containing the OpenLNS network database in which the target
SmartServer was installed in step 8. See Adding an OpenLNS Server to the LAN in Chapter 3
for how to do this.
c. Click Driver, and then click the Net network icon. The Setup – LON Network Driver Web
Page opens.
d. In the Network Management Service property, click LNS Auto or LNS Manual.

Select LNS Auto to have the SmartServer automatically synchronize with the selected
OpenLNS network database via the LNS Proxy Web service (you can also manually
initiate synchronization by pressing the Synchronize button in the OpenLNS Network
property). In this mode, the SmartServer independently initiates communication with the
LNS Proxy Web service. Select this mode if a firewall is not blocking the SmartServer’s
access to the port on the OpenLNS Server computer selected for the LNS Proxy Web
service (port 80 by default). This is the default.

Select LNS Manual to have the SmartServer manually synchronize with the selected
OpenLNS network database via the LNS Proxy Web service. In this mode, you can
synchronize the SmartServer with the selected OpenLNS network database by pressing
the Synchronize button in the OpenLNS Network property. This mode does not require
the SmartServer to access to the LNS Proxy Web service port on the OpenLNS Server
computer. Select this mode if a firewall is blocking the SmartServer’s access to the LNS
Proxy Web service port on the OpenLNS Server computer (port 80 by default)..
e. In the LNS Server property, select the IP address of the OpenLNS Server you added to the
LAN in step b.
f. Enter the User Name and Password for logging into the OpenLNS Server via the LNS Proxy
Web service.
g. The LNS Network dialog opens. In the LNS Network dialog, select the OpenLNS network
database in which the target SmartServer was installed in step 8.
h. The Use OpenLNS Network Interface option is selected and the network interface used for
communication between the OpenLNS Server and the network is listed automatically. Accept
these defaults if the OpenLNS Server is attached to the physical network and you want the
SmartServer to communicate with the devices on the network through the selected network
interface.
i. If the Use OpenLNS Network Interface option is selected, the Network Management
Mode property is set to OnNet automatically. This means that network changes are
propagated to the network immediately. Click OffNet to store network changes in the
selected OpenLNS network database and propagate them to the network when you place the
SmartServer OnNet.
j. Click Submit. The network icon is changed to an LNS Server icon and its names is changed
from “Net” to the name of the network you specified in step g. If you selected LNS Auto in
step d, the SmartServer automatically begins synchronizing its internal database (the
