Getting Started

5. A new random domain ID is generated. To use a specific domain ID, clear the Use Randomly

Generated Domain ID check box and enter your ID in hexadecimal format in the Domain ID
box. Click Finish.

6. If you are copying a network created with OpenLNS CT, your new OpenLNS CT network will

open and you can skip the remaining steps.

7. If the existing OpenLNS CT network design you are copying was created in a previous version of

LonMaker Turbo Editions (or earlier versions of the LonMaker tool), the Synchronize OpenLNS
CT for Windows Drawing
dialog box opens. This is because the OpenLNS CT SmartShapes in
the drawing need to be updated to reflect the current OpenLNS CT.

8. In the Synchronize OpenLNS CT for Windows Drawing dialog box, the Update Shapes to

Current OpenLNS CT Version check box will be selected by default. Select any other desired
synchronization options and click Next. The Choose Synchronization Scope dialog box opens.

9. Accept the defaults and click Next. The Choose Shapes and Items to Update dialog box will

appear.

10. Accept the defaults and click Finish. The Synchronization Status dialog box opens as the

synchronization process begins.

11. The Synchronization Status dialog box displays the progress of the synchronization. Once

“Synchronization Complete” opens, click OK to open your OpenLNS CT network design.

For more information about the synchronization options in the preceding dialog boxes, see Manual
Network Resynchronization
in Chapter 7, Maintaining Networks.

Notes: If you open the copy of the OpenLNS CT network with OpenLNS CT set OnNet, a message
opens reminding you that the copy of the OpenLNS CT network should not be attached to the physical
network associated with the original. This is because the devices and routers will be updated to match
the new network database. Verify that OpenLNS CT is not attached to the original network and then
click Yes to proceed with your OpenLNS CT set OnNet. Click No to return to the Management Mode
page and set OpenLNS CT OffNet.
