h. On the Pocket PC, tap OK.

8. To copy the Street Lighting Helper files from your computer to the Pocket PC, follow these steps:

a. On your computer, browse to the LonWorks\iLon100\unsupported\iLonProxy\bin folder on

your computer and then copy the StreetLightingHelper.exe, iLonProxyPocket.exe, and
iLonProxy.exe files.

b. In Microsoft ActiveSync, click Explore, browse to the Mobile Device\Program Files folder

on your Pocket PC, and then paste the files.

c. Optionally, you can create a new folder called “iLON Tools” or some other descriptive name

in the Program Files folder on the Pocket PC and then paste the files to that new folder.

Note: Uninstalling the Street Lighting Helper application also uninstalls the iLONProxyPocket
application. If you want to use the iLONProxyPocket application with your custom Pocket PC
solution, you can copy the iLONProxyPocket.exe file located in the
LonWorks\iLon100\LonWorks\iLon100\unsupported\StreetLightingHelper\Bin folder on your
computer to your Pocket PC.

Copying Files to the SmartServer

You can use the SmartServer to download the latest application image files (.apb extension) to the
devices on a power line repeating network when installing the network. To do this, you upload the
application image files provided by the device manufacturer to the root/LonWorks/import folder on the
SmartServer flash disk. If the device interface has changed, you can also upload the updated external
interface files that should be provided by the device manufacturer to the root/LonWorks/import folder.

When the SmartServer receives the Neuron ID of a device being installed, it fetches the program ID
from the device. The SmartServer then locates the application image file and XIF on its flash disk that
have program IDs matching that of the device, and it downloads the application image file to the
device and loads the XIF.

Note: If you are installing devices that are pre-loaded with the current application image files, and you
are using the sample Street Lighting Helper application to install the devices, the SmartServer will
overwrite the current application image file stored on the devices when they are added. This is because
the SmartServer will automatically download the application image files in the root/LonWorks/import
folder that have program IDs matching those of the pre-loaded devices.

This section details how to copy the following types of files to the SmartServer flash disk:
