Copying Event Schedulers to other SmartServers

Once you create Event Schedulers with the appropriate exceptions, you can copy the Event Schedulers
to other SmartServer. To do this, you back up the SmartServer App device’s XML configuration on
the source SmartServer, copy the backup to one or more target SmartServers that have been reset to
their factory default settings, and then reboot the target SmartServers. The Event Schedulers on the
target SmartServers will include the current configurations of the Event Schedulers on the source
SmartServer, including their events, data points, and presets. This saves you the effort of having to
manually re-create the same exception schedules on the Event Schedulers of other SmartServers.

To copy the configured Event Schedulers to other SmartServers, follow these steps:

1. Copy the root/config/network/<Network>/<Channel>/<i.LON SmartServer 2.0 App Device>

folder on the source SmartServer flash disk to the local drive of your computer, a USB drive,
another removable media, or a shared network drive with read/write permissions.

2. Restore the target SmartServer to its factory default settings with the Setup – Cleanup Web page

or the console application.

• To restore your SmartServer to its factory default settings using the SmartServer Web pages,

right-click the local SmartServer, point to Setup, and then click Clean Up on the shortcut
menu. The Setup – Cleanup dialog opens. Click Cleanup to reset the SmartServer.

• To restore your SmartServer to its factory default settings using the console application, enter

the factorydefaults command, or enter the factorydefaults keepipaddrs
command to reset the SmartServer but keep its basic IPv4 and IPv6 IP addresses. For more
information on using the SmartServer console application, see Appendix B of the i.LON
SmartServer 2.0 User’s Guide
.

3. Copy the config/network/<Network>/<Channel>/< i.LON SmartServer 2.0 App Device> folder to

the root/config/network/<Network>/<Channel> folder on the flash disk of the target SmartServer.

4. Reboot the target SmartServer using the SmartServer Web pages or the SmartServer console

application.

• To reboot your SmartServer using the SmartServer Web pages, right-click the local

SmartServer, point to Setup, and then click Reboot on the shortcut menu. The Setup –
Reboot
dialog opens. Click Reboot to start the reboot.

• To reboot your SmartServer using the SmartServer console application, enter the reboot

command. For more information on using the SmartServer console application, see Appendix
B of the i.LON SmartServer 2.0 User’s Guide.

5. You can open the Web interface of the target SmartServer and expand the SmartServer’s App

device in the navigation pane on the left side. Observe that the functional blocks and data points
in the SmartServer App device match those of the source. You can click of the Scheduler
functional blocks under the SmartServer App device and observe that it has the same configuration
as the source.

6. Repeat steps 2–5 to copy the SmartServer App device configuration to additional target

SmartServers.
