274 Exporting and Importing Networks with XML
Specific CP Values Device-specific CPs are CPs that may be changed by the device itself or by
another device that is not based on OpenLNS. OpenLNS CT reads
device-specific values from the devices in the network—this option is
unavailable if the OpenLNS CT computer is not connected to the physical
network. This option can add significant processing time to the export if there
are many device-specific CPs within the export scope.
Report Device
Address Table
Counts Includes the address table counts of all exported devices. This option is
unavailable if you are using OpenLNS CT on a remote client. This option can
add significant processing time to the export if there are many devices within
the export scope
Exclude XSLT
Stylesheet Includes the XSLT style sheet. See OpenLNS CT Network Report later in this
chapter.
Include Channels Selects which channels are reported in the XML file. Choose All, None, or
Referenced. Referenced means that only channels referenced by devices
within the selected network scope will be reported.
Include Device
Templates Selects which device templates are reported in the XML file. Choose All,
None, or Referenced. Referenced means that only device templates referenced
by devices within the selected network scope will be reported.
Include Connection
Descriptions Selects which connection descriptions are reported in the XML file. Choose
All, None, or Referenced. Referenced means that only connection descriptions
referenced by connections within the selected network scope will be reported.
Comments Specifies optional comments that you can use to document the export file. The
comments are inserted as a set of comment tags containing the comments in the
XML file.
File Name Specifies the name of the XML file. The default name is
C:\Users\Public\Documents\LonWorks\OpenLnsCt\XML\network\Export[
_version ].xml.
3. Click OK. The OpenLNS CT XML Export Status window displaying the report status opens,
and OpenLNS CT generates the XML file. You can click Cancel to stop the XML export. When
“Export complete” opens, click OK to close the window.
4. You can open the exported L ON W ORKS network XML file in an XML editor and begin viewing,
creating, deleting, or modifying items; view the exported XML file as an OpenLNS CT network
report; or view or edit the OpenLNS CT XML file with another application. If you make changes
to the XML file, save the file. You can then import the updated XML file back into the network
as described in Importing an OpenLNS CT XML File
Viewing an OpenLNS CT Network Report
You can view a L ON W ORKS network XML file as an OpenLNS CT network report in Internet Explorer
(other Web browsers may not display the data or may display it in a text-only format). This report is
available as long as the Exclude XSLT Stylesheet option in the XML Export Options dialog box is
cleared.
To view an OpenLNS CT network report, follow these steps:
1. Generate a L ON W ORKS network XML file.
2. Clear the Exclude XSLT Stylesheet check box in the XML Export Options dialog box.
3. Optionally modify the L ON W ORKS network XML file directly or with another application.
