internal database with the LNS network database.
External items include the following:
• L
ON W ORKS channels.
• External devices and their child functional blocks
and data points.
• Routers.
Selecting this option also transmits any changes made
to the LON driver properties of the external items in
the SmartServer tree to the LNS network database, and
it updates the SmartServer’s internal database with any
changes made to the LON driver properties of the
external items with the LonMaker tool, LNS tree, or
other LNS application.
This option is cleared by default, which means that the
SmartServer sends only changes made to the external

names of external devices or functional blocks with the
LonMaker tool.
