Echelon Enterprise Services 2.0 - Manual (Page 84)

74 Using the LNS Proxy Web Service
2. Verify that you have added an LNS Server (running LNS Turbo Server [version 3.25] or newer) to
the LAN that contains the LNS network database in which the network variable or configuration
property is stored. See Using the LNS Proxy Web Service earlier in this chapter for how to do this.
3. Verify that you have synchronized the target SmartServer with the LNS network database
containing the external network variables or configuration property you are copying. See
Synchronizing the SmartServer earlier in this chapter for how to do this.
4. Expand the LNS Server icon, and then enter the User Name and Password for logging in to the
LNS Server via the Echelon Enterprise Services. You initially specified the user name and
password in the Echelon Enterprise Services installer. If you forgot the user name and password,
you can right-click the EES tray icon in the notification area of your computer, and then click
Options on the shortcut menu.
5. In the LNS tree, expand the LNS network database, channel, device, and functional block
containing the network variable to be copied to the local SmartServer, right-click the network
variable, and then select Create External NV on the shortcut menu. To copy multiple network
variables, click one, and then either hold down CTRL and click all others to be copied or hold
down SHIFT and select another to select the entire range, right-click one of the selected network
variables, and then click Create External NV on the shortcut menu.
Note: If you have one or more remote SmartServers on the LAN, the Create External NV option
is not available in the shortcut menu of the network variable in the LNS tree. Instead, right-click
the network variable in the LNS tree, select Copy External NV on the shortcut menu, right-click
any object in the network tree of the target SmartServer, and then click Paste External... on the
shortcut menu.
6. The data points and their parent channel, device, and functional block are added to the network
tree of the target SmartServer.
