To select one device, click that device.

2. The device page opens. Proceed to the next section, Installing Devices

with Smart Network Management, to install the devices.

Installing Devices with Smart Network Management

After you select the devices to be installed, use the Smart Network Management

feature to install them. With this option, the Segment Controller asynchronously

sets the following device properties to the states it determines to be desired:

Program ID

Commission status (commissioned or decommissioned)

Application state (online or offline)

Application image

Device template (external interface)

Configuration property default values

Enabling Smart Network Management

You can enable smart network management for a device by selecting the

checkbox at the top of the SNM column of the device properties page (setup tab),

and then clicking Submit. You can also enable smart network management for

specific device properties by selecting the checkbox in the SNM column for the

specific property, and then clicking Submit. Which checkboxes you should select

depends on whether you are installing devices pre-loaded with the current

application image files:

If you are installing pre-loaded devices, select the Smart Network

Management checkboxes for the following properties: Commission

Status, State, Template, Write Configuration Property Defaults,

and Reset. Verify that all other checkboxes are cleared to ensure that

the Segment Controller does not update the application image currently

on the devices.

If you are installing devices that need to be loaded with an application

image file, select the checkbox at the top of the SNM column to enable

smart network management for all device properties. Note that the

application image to be downloaded to the devices must be in the

/LonWorks/Import folder on the Segment Controller flash disk for the

Segment Controller to install the devices successfully.

After smart network management is enabled for a device property, the Segment

Controller attempts to perform the corresponding network management

command. The current statuses of the network management commands appear

in the Progress column.
