Using the Rapid Deployment Example
This chapter describes how to assemble and wire the demonstration network, import
and deploy the provided i.LON template for the network, and use the provided
custom Web interface to monitor and control the network.
Rapid Deployment Example for EES 1
Introduction
You can use the SmartServer 2.0 to automatically and rapidly install single-channel LNS managed or
standalone networks containing up to approximately 20 devices. Rapid deployment eliminates the
cumbersome manual tasks associated with network installation such as matching up device
configurations in a network tool with the physical devices on the network, and pressing service pins on
the devices to commission them.
To use this rapid deployment feature, you design and configure a network using the SmartServer or an
LNS network tool such as the LonMaker tool, make a template of the SmartServer and the LNS
network database (in an LNS managed network), and then deploy that template on multiple
SmartServers.
To create and deploy the template, you use the new i.LON AdminServer included in the Echelon
Enterprise Services 2.0 on your i.LON SmartServer 2.0 DVD. The i.LON AdminServer is a Web
application that you can use to manage and deploy SmartServers. You can use the i.LON
AdminServer to create a “golden image” of one site and then replicate that image multiple times on
identical sites. For example, if you have several buildings that have the same network, you can create
a template for one building, and then deploy the template to automatically configure and install the
other buildings. You can use the i.LON AdminServer onsite to deploy a network, or you can access it
remotely to deploy the network.
When you deploy the template, the SmartServer searches the physical network for uncommissioned
devices, automatically acquires the Neuron IDs of the discovered devices, and then matches the
discovered devices based on program ID to the devices logically defined in a SmartServer or LNS
network database. The SmartServer then automatically installs the discovered devices.
Using the Demonstration Network
You can assemble a demonstration network over a twister-pair free-topology (TP/FT-10) channel to
test the rapid deployment feature. The RapidDeploymentExample folder on the root di rectory of the
i.LON SmartServer 2.0 DVD contains pre-d e fi ned i.LON templates that include the configuration and
custom Web pages for an LNS managed and standalone demonstration network.
The demonstration network includes a set of com mon L
cost-effective, energy-efficient solution for small networks. These L
switches, two thermostats, one energy meter, and one FT-10 SmartServer. The i.LON templates
already include the application image files, external interface files, and resource files for these devices.
The network also includes two generic lamp outputs, a power supply, and a transformer.
You can order the devices used in the demonstration network, and then wire them following the
diagram in the
photograph displays the specified devices assembled and wired on a mounting board.

ONWORKS devices that provide a
ONWORKS devices include two
2 Using the Rapid Deployment Example
After you assemble and wire the demonstration network, you can install the Echelon Enterprise
Services 2.0 from the i.LON SmartServer 2.0 DVD, and then import and deploy the provided i.LON
template for the demonstration network using the i.LON AdminServer.
After the i.LON template has been deployed, you can open the SmartServer home page and click a link
to access the custom Web pages provided for the demonstration network. You can use these Web
pages to monitor and control the lighting and HVAC systems in the demonstration network, and
monitor the network’s energy consumption.
To create and use the demonstration network, you do the following:
1. Order the specified devices included in the i.LON template.
2. Assemble and wire the specified devices.
3. Install Echelon Enterprise Services 2.0 software, and install LNS Server Service Pack 5 if you are
using LNS management services.
4. Import the included i.LON template.
5. Deploy the included i.LON template to your SmartServer. Optionally, you can open a LonMaker
drawing for the demonstration network if you are using LNS management services.
6. Monitor and control the network using the provided custom Web pages.
Rapid Deployment Example for EES 3
The following sections describe how to perform these steps.
Note: If you are using an i.LON e3 plus Internet Server for the demonstration network, you must
install the SmartServer 2.0 software from the i.LON SmartServer 2.0 DVD, and manually upgrade
your i.LON e3 plus Internet Server before deploying the included i.LON template. For more
information on installing the SmartServer 2.0 software, see Chapter 2 of the i.LON Smart Server 2.0
User’s Guide. For more information on manually upgrading an i.LON 100 e3 plus Server to the
SmartServer 2.0 firmware, see Chapter 3 of the i.LON SmartServer 2.0 User’s Guide.
Ordering the Devices
The demonstration network uses one TP/FT- 10 Sm art S erve r, fi ve LONWORKS devices (two switches,
two thermostats, one energy meter), two generic lamp outputs (>2 amps), one 24VDC power supply,
and one 24VAC transformer. The following table lists the required devices, provides links where you
can order them, and describes their functionality in the demonstration network:

Assembling and Wiring the Devices
You can assemble the specified devices on a mounting board, and then wire them. The following
wiring diagram illustrates how to wire the devices. Observe that the network is divided into two zones:
Zone 1 includes a Nico switch, a lamp, and the Honeywell thermostat; and Zone 2 includes a Nico
switch, a lamp, and the Distech thermostat. The power supply and transformer provide power to the
ONWORKS devices in both zones, the SmartServer, and the Nico energy meter.

If you are using HTTPs, the default value is 443. You may change the
port to any valid port number.
Rapid Deployment Example for EES 11
Username Enter the user name for logging in to your SmartServer via HTTP. The
default user name is ilon.
Password Enter the password for logging in to your SmartServer via HTTP. The
default password is ilon.
7. Click Deploy to deploy the template. It takes approximately 25 minutes to deploy the template.
Note: You can view the status of the current deployment by entering the trace 2 command in
the target SmartServer’s console application. For more information on the SmartServer console
application, see Appendix B of the i.LON SmartServer 2.0 User’s Guide.
8. If a login dialog for the LNS Proxy Web service opens, enter the User name and Password for
logging into the LNS Proxy Web service on the target LNS Server, which are both ilon by
default, and then click OK. You may have initially set the user name and password in the EES
2.0 installer. If you cannot log into the i.LON AdminServer, use the EES tray tool icon on your
EES 2.0 computer to view the current user name and password used for accessing the LNS Proxy
Web service. See Chapter 3 of the Echelon Enterprise Services 2.0 User’s Guide for more
information on how to do this.
9. After the i.LON template has been deployed on your target SmartServer, the target SmartServer is
rebooted.
10. A new QSR project is added to the navigation pane of the i.LON AdminServer. The QSR project
contains the image of the target SmartServer, and it contains a copy of the deployed QSR LNS
network database if you imported the QSR-TEMPLATE-LonMaker.zip file. The name of the
new project and the LNS network database in the project are based on the default QSR name in
the Target property the Deploy Web page.
11. If you deployed the QSR-TEMPLATE-LonMaker.zip file, the deployment SmartServer is
synchronized to the target LNS network database.
Note: You can view the status of the synchronization by entering the trace 2 command in the
target SmartServer’s console application. For more information on the SmartServer console
application, see Appendix B of the i.LON SmartServer 2.0 User’s Guide.
12. You can open the deployment SmartServer’s Web pages and observe that the devices in the i.LON
template have been replicated and installed on the SmartServer, and observe that the network has
been synchronized to the target LNS network database (if the i.LON template included an LNS
network database).
12 Using the Rapid Deployment Example
13. If you deployed the QSR-TEMPLATE-LonMaker.zip file, a remote network interface (RNI) for
each deployment SmartServer is automatically created in the LonWorks Interfaces Control Panel
application. The name of the RNI created is #EES#<deployment SmartServer IP address>.
14. If you deployed QSR-TEMPLATE-LonMaker.zip file, you can open the QSR LonMaker
drawing. Observe that the devices are configured, bound, and commissioned.
Rapid Deployment Example for EES 13
Note: When you open the LonMaker drawing, a prompt may open informing that there is a NSS
device (LNS server network service device) confli ct . Click OK, and then follow the instructions
in the Network Wizard to open the drawing. Make sure you select the #EES#<deployment

asking if you want to resynchronize the network. You only need to resynchronize the network if
you made changes to the network with the SmartServer before opening the LonMaker drawing.
15. If you re-deploy the QSR-TEMPLATE-LonMaker.zip file on the same LNS Server comput er
and you specify a different target name, a dialog will appear after the target SmartServer is
rebooted prompting you to manually create the LonMaker drawing associated with the deployed
LNS network database from a copy of the source QSR LNS network database. You will need
stop running EES, delete the deployed LNS network dat abase, create a copy of the source QSR
LNS network database, and name it based on the name of the deployed LNS netw or k dat a base.
