the

i.LON AdminServer

6. Verify that the devices on the onsite network are uncommissioned.

7. Use the i.LON AdminServer to deploy the SmartServer template you created in step 6 on the

deployment SmartServer attached to the onsite network. See Deploying an i.LON Template earlier
in this chapter for more information on how to do this.

• If you are installing a network that has one device per XIF file, select Automatic in the

Deployment Mode property. After the i.LON template is deployed, the SmartServer will
automatically discover and install the devices with no user interaction.

You can use the

Lon

Command Queue

Web page in the SmartServer Web pages to check the status of the network

installation

. To do this, right-click the SmartServer icon, point to Setup, and then click LON

Command Queue on the shortcut menu. Alternatively, you can open the Setup menu and
then click LON Command Queue.

• If you are installing a 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) select
Semi-Automatic in the Deployment Mode property.

After the i.LON 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.

Follow steps 8–13 to discover the physical devices, and match them to the pre-configured
devices in the SmartServer or LNS network database you created.

8. Click Scan to discover all uncommissioned devices on the network if they are already attached to

the network, or click the Continuously check box if you are incrementally attaching the devices to
the network. A message is broadcast to the devices on the network that triggers the devices to
identify themselves by their Neuron IDs. Click Cancel Scan to stop device discovery.

9. The Neuron IDs of the discovered devices appear in the Replacement ID property, and the under

construction triangle appears to the right of the device icon.
