Operation Select a synchronization operation. You have four choices:
• Download Current Values to Device. Writes the configuration
property values stored in the LNS network database to the
physical device. This is the default.
• Upload Values from Device. Writes the current configuration
property values in the physical device to the LNS network
database.
• Reset Device to Default Values. Writes the default values
defined in the device template to the device and the LNS
network database.
• Set Device Template Defaults from Device. Sets the default
configuration property values in the device template to the current
values in the physical device, and writes the configuration
property values to the LNS network database.
Included CPs Select which configuration properties are resynchronized. You can
include the following configuration properties:
• Device-Specific CPs. Updates device-specific configuration
properties. This check box is selected by default.
• Non Device-Specific CPs. Updates non–device-specific
configuration properties. This check box is selected by default.
• NV Type CPs. Updates configuration properties which specify
the network variable type (SCPTnvType). This check box is
only available if Reset Device to Default Values is selected in
the Operation box. If any of the affected network variables are
connected (with a different NV type), the resynchronization
operation will fail.
3. Click
OK. The LonMaker tool updates the device and the LNS network database, as required.
Using the LonMaker Tool as a Passive Configuration Tool
You can use the LonMaker tool as a passive configuration tool. A passive configuration tool is a tool
that that configures the application in a device without affecting its network configuration. A passive
configuration tool is required when a network tool not based on LNS is being used to manage the
configuration of a network. This mode is useful when you need to use an LNS plug-in in passive mode
to configure a device on a network managed with a network tool not based on LNS. To use the
LonMaker tool and one or more LNS plug-ins as a passive configuration tool, follow these steps:
1. Attach the LonMaker tool to the network. If you do not already have a LonMaker network for the
network, recover the network as described in Restoring a LonMaker Network. In the final steps of
the procedure, do not synchronize the network to the database, and leave the management mode
OffNet.
If you synchronize or change the management mode to OnNet, the LonMaker tool will become an
active management tool and will no longer be passive. Skip to step 3.
2. If you have a LonMaker network design for the network, open it. Set the management mode to
OffNet (open the LonMaker menu, click Network Properties, click the Network Interface tab,
and under the Management Mode box, select OffNet). If you set the management mode to
OnNet, the LonMaker tool will become an active management tool and will no longer be passive.
