OpenLNS CT User’s Guide 65
This dialog box lists all NSDs in this network, regardless of whether a SmartShape has been created
for each NSD. For each NSD, the following information is listed:
NSD Name Specifies the name of the NSD, which is assigned by the OpenLNS
Server.
Type Specifies the NSD type. This can either be NSS (the OpenLNS
Server) or NSI (a remote full client).
Device Name Specifies the NSD name in the format of <subsystem
name>.<network service device name>.
Channel Specifies the channel on which the NSD is attached.
Monitor Sets? Indicates whether monitor sets are defined on the NSD.
User Name Specifies the user name associated with the NSD. See User Profiles
for more information on user names.
Application Specifies the name of the application currently active on the NSD.
If there is no application, or the application does not provide its name,
“Unknown” is displayed.
If the network service device is not responding, “No Response” is
displayed.
Click Remove to delete the selected network service device from the network. This option is generally
used to remove remote network service devices that are no longer in use, which improves the
performance of OpenLNS CT.
Click Monitor Sets to open the Monitor Sets dialog box, in which you can view and remove monitor
sets in the OpenLNS CT network. To delete a monitor set, locate the monitor set to delete from the
list, right-click the monitor set, and then click Remove on the shortcut menu.
Upgrading Network Service Devices
When you upgrade OpenLNS CT or switch between an OpenLNS high performance network interface
(LonTalk layer 2) and an OpenLNS network interface (LonTalk layer 5), you must upgrade your
network service device. When you open the network and either of these conditions is detected,
OpenLNS CT will ask whether you want to upgrade. You should typically perform the upgrade.
However, if you are only using a different network interface temporarily, you may choose not to
upgrade. In this case, communication with physical devices is limited until the network is reopened
with the original network interface. If initially you choose not to upgrade the network service device
