Echelon OpenLNS Commissioning Tool - Manual (Page 69)

OpenLNS CT User’s Guide 53
Any devices you created and commissioned in your original network will have the same Neuron IDs in
the copied version. To avoid conflicts, make sure the domain IDs of the original and copied OpenLNS
CT network designs are unique, or make sure that the copied OpenLNS CT network design is not
attached to the physical network associated with the original version when you are using it.
Monitoring will be disabled in the copy of the OpenLNS CT network. To enable monitoring,
right-click a clear space in the drawing page and click Enable Monitoring. See Chapter 6, Monitoring
and Controlling Networks, for more information on how to monitor and control application devices.
Opening an OpenLNS CT Network Design
To open an existing OpenLNS CT network, follow these steps:
1. Click Start on the taskbar, point to Programs, point to Echelon OpenLNS CT, and then select
OpenLNS CT. The OpenLNS CT Design Manager opens.
2. Choose the OpenLNS CT network you want to open. Under Existing Network, select the desired
drawing directory from the Drawing Directory list, and then select the network you want to open
from the Drawing Name list. For networks with multiple drawings files, you can select any of the
drawing files associated with the network.
3. To skip any or all of the pages in the Network Wizard when opening the existing network, clear
the Show all Options check box under the Existing Network box. The pages in the Network
Wizard will be skipped when you re-open the network provided that you previously selected the
check box at the bottom of the page (the Automatically Determine Server Location check box
for the Server Location page and the Skip This Prompt check box for all other pages). You can
also select the options to skip the pages in the Network Wizard in the OpenLNS CT drawing (to
do this, click Add-ins, click LonWorks Network, and click Network Properties). You cannot
skip the User Logon page if you have defined user profiles for the network (see
4
User Profiles in
this chapter for more information).
4. Click Open Network.
