WebBinder SOAP
Messages Using Select how data point values are formatted in SOAP messages sent to this
LNS Server via Web connections. You have two choices:
• Data Point Format. Data point values are formatted based on the

• Raw HEX. Data point values are transmitted in raw hexadecimal
format.
6. Click Submit to save the changes. An LNS Server icon with the specified IP address or hostname
is added to the LAN or dial-out connection. Click Back to leave all fields unchanged.
7. If you are using Internet Explorer 7, enable your Web browser to access the LNS Proxy Web
service on the LNS Server computer. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Add the locations of your local SmartServer and the LNS Server on which the LNS Proxy
Web service is installed as trusted sites. To do this, click Tools, click Internet Options, click
the Security tab, click Trusted Sites, and then click Sites. Clear the Require Service
Verification check box.
By default, the IP address of your local SmartServer appears in the Add this Website to the
Zone box. Click Add to add the IP address of your local SmartServer. Enter the IP address
of the LNS Proxy Web service in the Add this Website to the Zone box, click Add, click
Close, and then click OK.
b. Enable your Web browser to access sites over other domains. To do this with Internet
Explorer 7, click Tools, click Internet Options, click the Security tab, and then click
Custom. Under the Miscellaneous category, select Enable or Prompt for the Access data
sources across domains property.
Note: If you are using Internet Explorer 7 and you do not complete step 7, the Cannot
Access Remote Host dialog appears when you try to expand the LNS server icon or
synchronize the SmartServer to an LNS network database. If you are using Internet Explorer
8 or Firefox, you do not need to complete this step.
8. You can now expand the LNS Server icon to show the networks, channels, devices, functional
blocks, and data points on your LNS Server. Note that it may take a minute to show the networks
on an LNS Server after you initially expand the LNS Server icon.
Using the LNS Proxy as a Network Management Tool
You can use the LNS tree in the SmartServer Web interface as a complete LNS network management
tool for designing, installing, and maintaining your network.
Using the LNS tree as a network design tool is comparable to using the LonMaker tool: you can create
new networks, add devices and functional blocks to the network, configure the devices and functional
blocks with LNS plug-ins, and then create network variable connections. The LNS tree, however, does
not provide the same graphical representation of your network and its data flow as does the LonMaker
tool. See Designing L
ON W ORKS networks Chapter 5 of the i.LON SmartServer 2.0 User’s Guide for
more information on using the LNS tree to design a L ON W ORKS network.
After you design the network, you can automatically install the network using device discovery, or you
can manually install the network by pressing the service pins on the devices, or by entering or scanning
the Neuron IDs of the devices. See Installing L
ON W ORKS networks in Chapter 5 of the i.LON
SmartServer 2.0 User’s Guide for how to do this. In addition, you can automatically install multiple
