12. If you created a new LNS network database in step 8, select the Use LNS Network Interface
property check box if the LNS Server is attached to the physical network and you want the
SmartServer to communicate with the devices on the network, and then select the network
interface to be used for communication between the LNS Server and the network.
If you selected an existing database in step 9, the Use LNS Network Interface is selected and the
network interface is specified automatically.
13. If the Use LNS Network Interface property check box 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 LNS network
database and propagate them to the network when you place the SmartServer OnNet.
14. Click Submit.
15. If you selected LNS Auto in the Network Management Service property, the synchronization
automatically begins. During the synchronization process, items in the SmartServer tree that are
out of sync with the LNS network database are highlighted yellow. When all the items in the
SmartServer tree are synchronized (not highlighted yellow), the synchronization is complete.
Note that you can continue to use the SmartServer Web interface during the synchronization. The
time required for the synchronization depends on the size of the network, which determines the
number of items that need to be synced.
Notes:
• You can view the progress of the synchronization in the navigation pane. To do this, click
Settings to open the Global Settings dialog, and then select the Show Synchronization
Progress in Tree check box. This adds a synchronization status bar to the right of the
network icon in the SmartServer tree that displays the current ratio of items that have already
been synchronized to the total number of items being synchronized.
• You can view a log of the current synchronization in the SmartServer’s console application.
To view the sync log, enter the trace 2 command. For more information on the SmartServer
console application, see Appendix B of the i.LON SmartServer 2.0 User’s Guide.
16. If you selected LNS Manual in the Network Management Service property, all the items in the
SmartServer tree are highlighted yellow meaning that they are out of sync with the LNS network
database. Manually synchronize the SmartServer to the LNS network database following these
steps:
a. Click Synchronize in the LNS Network property. The SmartServer Resync dialog opens.
b. Click Start.
c. The Items to be Synced property lists the number of items in the SmartServer tree to be
updated. This number counts down as the Synchronization operations progresses. When the
synchronization operation has been completed, this number is 0. You can click Close
