Echelon Enterprise Services 2.0 User’s Guide 69
When you manually synchronize the SmartServer to an LNS network database, the SmartServer Web
interface requests a list of objects to be synced from the SmartServer via SOAP and forwards the
objects returned by the SmartServer to the LNS Proxy Web service. The LNS Proxy Web service
returns a set of synced objects to the SmartServer Web interface, which forwards these objects back to
the SmartServer. This mode does not require the opening of any ports on firewalls blocking the
SmartServer’s access to the LNS Server computer.
If you are using the LNS Manual mode, or if you are using LNS Auto mode and another LNS client
such as the LonMaker tool or LNS tree makes changes to the LNS network database that are not
propagated to the SmartServer over the LonTalk channel, network objects in the SmartServer tree may
lose synchronization with the LNS network database. When this occurs, the objects that are not in
sync with the LNS network database are highlighted yellow in the SmartServer tree.
You can manually synchronize all items in the SmartServer tree that are out of sync at one time, or you
can select individual items to be synchronized.
Manually Synchronizing All Items
If items in the SmartServer tree lose synchronization with the LNS network database, you can
manually synchronize all of them to the LNS network database at one time following these steps:
1. Right-click the network item in the target SmartServer tree, and then click Synchronize with LNS
in the shortcut menu.
