automatically, with no further user-interaction required. After the template is deployed and
the target SmartServer is rebooted, the target SmartServer will automatically discover the
physical devices on the network, match the devices with the devices in the SmartServer or
LNS network database, and the commission the devices. This is the default.
• Select Semi-Automatic if you are deploying an engineered network that has multiple devices
associated with any given XIF file (for example, you have three fryer devices that use the
same fryer XIF file), or you are installing an ad-hoc network (a network that has no devices
defined in the SmartServer or LNS network database).
After the template is deployed and the deployment SmartServer is rebooted, open the
deployment SmartServer’s Web page (open your Web browser and enter the IP address of the
deployment SmartServer, and then enter your log in information), and then open the
Overview – Devices Web page. To open this Web page, right-click the parent network or
channel of the devices being installed in the navigation pane, point to Overview, and then
click Devices on the shortcut menu.
Select the Auto-Assign Devices to Placeholders check box, and then click Scan. The target
SmartServer will automatically discover the physical devices on the network and match them
with the pre-configured devices (called “placeholders”) in the SmartServer or LNS network
database. After devices have been assigned to the placeholders, you can install the devices
using Smart Network Management.
See Chapter 5 of the i.LON SmartServer 2.0 User’s Guide or the online help for more
information on using the Overview – Devices Web page.
6. In the Domain property, select a method for assigning the network’s domain (the domain is the
top level of the LonTalk domain/subnet/node addressing hierarchy): Random Domain,
Manually Assigned Domain, or Copied Domain.
• Select Random Domain to use a random domain ID. This is the default.
• Select Manually Assigned Domain to enter the domain ID. If you enter an ID that has fewer
bytes than that specified in the Domain Length box, the domain ID will be padded with
leading zeroes.
• Select Copy Source Domain to use the domain used by the network in the template.
7. Enter the following SOAP/HTTP settings for each deployment SmartSever:
Protocol Select the protocol used by the i.LON AdminServer to connect to the
SmartServer (HTTP or HTTPS). The selected protocol must be enabled
in the Setup - Security Web page in the SmartServer Web interface;
otherwise, the following error occurs when the i.LON AdminServer tries
to access the SmartServer: ERROR: WebService reports: "Could not
connect to i.LON SmartServer!"
• To use HTTP, the Enable Web Server check box in the Setup -
Security Web page must be selected.
• To use HTTPs, the Enable SSL Web Server check box in the Setup
- Security Web page must be selected.
Url Enter the IP address or hostname for the SmartServer to be added to the IP
channel
Port (Web
Server/SOAP) Enter the port the SmartServer uses to serve HTTP or HTTPs requests
(SOAP and WebDAV). If you are using HTTP, the default value is 80.
If you are using HTTPs, the default value is 443. You may change the
port to any valid port number.
