3-6 Configuring the i.LON 100
This way, when you back up the LonMaker database (see the LonMaker User’s
Guide), you can set Backup All Files in Drawing Directory to backup the
i.LON 100 configuration along with the rest of the LonMaker network.
Restoring or Duplicating an i.LON 100
Server
You can restore the configuration of an i.LON 100 device from an i.LON 100
backup directory. To restore an i.LON 100 backup directory, follow these steps:
1. Determine the location of the directory to which the i.LON 100 configuration
was backed up.
2. Format the i.LON 100 using the format command in the console application
as described in Appendix A.
3. Copy the contents of the i.LON 100 backup folder to the i.LON 100’s root
directory using an FTP application.
4. Reset the i.LON 100.
You can follow this procedure with a new i.LON 100 to create an i.LON 100 with
identical configuration to the i.LON 100 you used to create the backup folder .
You can also FTP files directly from one i.LON 100 to another to duplicate the
configuration of an i.LON 100.
When you install the i.LON 100 software, the default i.LON 100 server’s
configuration is stored in the L
ON W ORKS \iLon100\Images\iLON100 1.10
directory on your computer. To restore an i.LON 100 server to its factory default
condition, use an FTP application to remove all files on the i.LON 100 server and
then copy the contents of this directory into it.
Replacing an i.LON 100 Server
To replace an i.LON 100 device, follow these steps:
1. Close the network containing the i.LON 100 device.
2. Reboot the old i.LON 100 device as described in Appendix A. When the
console application displays Press the ‘!’ key to stop auto-boot,
press ‘!’.
3. Backup the entire directory structure of the old i.LON 100 server to be
replaced onto a folder on a computer using an FTP application, as described
in Backing Up an i.LON 100.
4. Remove the old i.LON 100 device from the L ON W ORKS network.
5. Attach the new i.LON 100 device to the L ON W ORKS network.
6. Format the new i.LON 100 server and restore the directory structure backed
up in step 3, as described in Restoring or Duplicating an i.LON 100.
7. Reboot the new i.LON 100 server.
8. Assure that the new i.LON 100 server has the same IP address, subnet mask,
and gateway as the old i.LON 100 server. If you are using the i.LON 100
server’s RNI capability, you must also assure that the new i.LON 100 server
has the same MD5 authentication key as the old i.LON 100 server. If the
new i.LON 100 is initially configured to use the default key (all zeros), this
will occur automatically when connecting to the RNI.
9. Re-open the network.
