Rapid Deployment Example for EES iii

Preface

You can use the SmartServer 2.0 to rapidly and automatically install networks. You

can design a network for one site, create a template of that network design, and

quickly deploy the template to multiple networks at the same time with minimal user

interaction. Once the SmartServer installs the network, you can use it to manage and

conserve your network’s energy and reduce its operating costs.

iv Preface

Purpose

This guide describes how to assemble a demonstration network that you can use to test the
SmartServer’s new rapid deployment feature, and observe how the SmartServer can be used to
maximize the energy efficiency of your control networks. It specifies the devices to be used to
assemble the demonstration network, includes wiring instructions for the specified devices, describes
how to import and deploy the provided i.LON templ a te for y ou r demonstration network, and explains
how to use the provided custom Web interface to monitor and control the network’s energy
consumption.

The provided i.LON template includes the configuration and custom Web pages for the demonstration
network. In this demonstration example, you will use the new i.LON AdminServer Web application
included with Echelon Enterprise Services 2.0 to copy the i.LON template from the i.LON
SmartServer 2.0 DVD to your computer, and then upload the i.LON template to the SmartServer
attached to the demonstration network.

Audience

This guide is intended for system designers and integrators with an understanding of control networks.
