manager, router, remote network interface, and Web server that

connects LONWORKS®, BACnet, Modbus, and M-Bus devices to

corporate IP networks or the Internet.

x Preface

Purpose

This document describes how to configure the SmartServer and use its applications to manage control
networks.

Audience

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

requirements for the selected version of Windows (Pentium IV 1.5 GHz or faster if running
Echelon Enterprise Services 2.2).

 2 GB RAM minimum.
 50 to 830 megabytes (MB) free hard-disk space, plus the minimum Windows requirements for the

selected version of Windows.

o The i.LON Vision 2.2 software requires 44 MB of free space.
o If you install Echelon Enterprise Services 2.2 from the SmartServer 2.2 DVD, you need an

additional 270 MB of free space. Echelon Enterprise Services 2.2 is required for maintaining
synchronization between the SmartServer and OpenLNS network databases, adding the data
points of external devices in OpenLNS managed networks to the SmartServer’s built-in
applications and to your custom SmartServer 2.2 Web pages, and managing OpenLNS
networks with the SmartServer Web interface.

If you are running Echelon Enterprise Services 2.2 with a SmartServer operating in LNS
mode, OpenLNS Server or LNS Turbo Editions (3.25) or later must be installed on the
OpenLNS Server or LNS Server computer and on remote OpenLNS clients running EES 2.2.
See the Echelon Enterprise Services 2.2 User’s Guide for more information on installing
Echelon Enterprise Services 2.2.

o You must have the SmartServer 2.0 Programming Tools to create custom C/C++ apps and

drivers (also called freely programmable modules [FPMs]), and to translate the SmartServer
Web interface into a number of different languages (language localization). To build and
upload custom apps and drivers, order the SmartServer 2.0 Programming Tools 2.0 DVD
(Echelon model number 72111-409). To order this DVD, contact your Echelon sales
representative.

o If you install Adobe® Reader 9.1 from the SmartServer 2.2 DVD, you need an additional 204

MB of free space. You need Adobe Reader or another PDF viewer to view the SmartServer

2.2 documentation.

 DVD-ROM drive.
 1024x768 or higher-resolution display with at least 256 colors.
 Mouse or compatible pointing device.
 If you are running Echelon Enterprise Services 2.2 with a SmartServer operating in LNS mode,

LNS Turbo Editions (3.25) or newer is required.

 Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 or higher, or Mozilla Firefox 18 or higher, Google Chrome 24 or

higher or Apple Safari 6.0 or higher.

xii Preface

 Terminal emulator such as PuTTY.

SmartServer 2.2 Upgrade Requirements

You must have a SmartServer 2.0 license for each SmartServer 1.0 (a SmartServer running the Release
4, 4.01, or 4.02 firmware) or i.LON e3 plus Server to be upgraded to SmartServer 2.2 (a SmartServer
running the Release 4.06 firmware). Upgrades from earlier i.LON releases are not supported due to
their smaller memory not being sufficient for the SmartServer firmware.

You can use the i.LON AdminServer Web application included with Echelon Enterprise Services 2.2
to automatically upgrade your licensed SmartServers. For more information on using the i.LON
AdminServer to upgrade your SmartServers, see Chapter 2 of the Echelon Enterprise Services 2.2
User’s Guide.

Note: To upgrade i.LON e3 plus Servers or SmartServers that have previously been downgraded to
the i.LON 100 e3 version firmware to the SmartServer 2.2 (Release 4.06) firmware, you must first
manually upgrade them to the SmartServer 1.0 (Release 4.02) firmware via FTP as described in
Chapter 3 of this guide.

Introduction

This chapter introduces the SmartServer, summarizes the new features

in the release of the SmartServer 2.2 software, and describes the

SmartServer built-in applications.

SmartServer 2.2 User’s Guide 19

Introduction

The SmartServer 2.2 is a low-cost, high-performance, controller, network manager, router, network
interface, and Web server that connects LONWORKS, BACnet, M-Bus, and Modbus devices to
corporate IP networks or the Internet. It features a built-in Web server that allows Web access to all
the data managed and controlled by the SmartServer.

The SmartServer includes built-in applications for alarming, scheduling, logging, translating, and
performing arithmetic, logical and statistical functions on data types. It also includes a Web binder for
bridging multiple LONWORKS domains. The SmartServer also includes built-in I/O for reading pulse
meters and digital inputs, and for switching local loads. All data points and built-in I/O are accessible
through either the LONWORKS or Web interfaces.

The SmartServer can be used with the included Echelon Enterprise Services 2.2 (EES 2.2) for rapidly
deploying and managing SmartServers and integrating the SmartServer with OpenLNS CT and other
OpenLNS network tools.

EES 2.2 includes the i.LON AdminServer, which is a Web application that you can use to upgrade
SmartServers, backup and restore SmartServers, and create and deploy i.LON templates. For
example, you can backup or upgrade multiple SmartServers at the same time, or you can create a
template of one SmartServer and deploy that template on multiple SmartServers simultaneously. In
addition, when you deploy a template, you can have the SmartServer automatically or
semi-automatically install the devices in the SmartServer or OpenLNS network database included in
the template. This automatic network installation feature is supported for single-channel networks
containing up to approximately 20 devices.

EES 2.2 also includes the LNS Proxy Web service, which enables the SmartServer to directly
communicate with OpenLNS network databases on OpenLNS Server computers. This means that you
can use the SmartServer Web interface as a standalone OpenLNS network management tool to design,
install, monitor/control, and maintain LONWORKS networks, or you can synchronize the SmartServer
with an OpenLNS network database and use the SmartServer to monitor and control the network.

The SmartServer can also be used as a standalone network manager without a connection to an
OpenLNS Server. You can use the SmartServer in standalone mode to manage a small, single-channel
TP/FT-10 or PL-20 network that does not require OpenLNS management or LONWORKS connections.
In standalone mode, the SmartServer serves as a network manager that can directly load, commission,
set online/offline, wink, test, and reset the devices attached to its channel without sending the network
management commands through OpenLNS.

The SmartServer can be used as a Remote Network Interface (RNI), allowing you to use an OpenLNS
or OpenLDV based application, such as OpenLNS CT, to access to a single LONWORKS network
remotely. The SmartServer includes optional IP-852 routing, which you can use to access multiple
LONWORKS networks remotely (you can order IP-852 routing for new SmartServer units or activate it
later). The SmartServer can also be used with the LonScanner™ Protocol Analyzer to capture, analyze,
characterize, and display ISO/IEC 14908-1 Control Network Protocol (CNP) packets either locally or
remotely via the Internet.

The SmartServer includes an optional programming feature that you can use to create and run custom
built-in applications and drivers on the SmartServer called Freely Programmable Modules (FPMs).
The SmartServer also provides a SOAP/XML Web services interface for integration with custom
enterprise applications.

The SmartServer operates on 100 – 240 VAC high-voltage models that are available for TP/FT-10 and
PL-20 channels. An optional built-in 56K V.90 analog modem can be ordered with the TP/FT-10
models.

20 Introduction

What’s New in the SmartServer 2.2 Software

The SmartServer 2.2 software includes the following new features:
 LONWORKS Connections in Standalone Mode. Create peer-to-peer bindings in standalone

networks with repeating for rapid response to external events.

 Increased Device and Data Point Limits in Standalone Mode. Install up to 300 devices and use up

to 2,000 data points in a standalone network.

 Maintenance Network Management Mode. Rapidly commission networks by disabling data point

heartbeats and polling messages.

 Static Repeating Mode. Optimize the performance of power line repeating channels by disabling

the periodic verification of repeating paths.

 Enhanced XMPP Client. Use real-time bi-directional communication between SmartServers and

enterprise applications located behind firewalls. The SmartServer’s built-in XMPP client now
supports connections where the IP address changes because of lease timeouts, and it is now
compatible with Openfire.

 OpenLNS Server and OpenLNS CT Support. Integrate the SmartServer in networks managed

with an OpenLNS Server. Use the SmartServer with networks managed with the OpenLNS
Commissioning Tool (OpenLNS CT).

 i.LON Vision 2.2. Rapidly create custom SmartServer Web pages with the i.LON Vision 2.2

standalone Web publishing tool.

 Cross Browser Support. View SmartServer 2.2 built-in and custom Web pages using Chrome and

Safari in addition to previously supported browsers (Internet Explorer and Firefox).

 New Languages. View SmartServer 2.2 built-in and custom Web pages in Chinese, Korean, and

Japanese in addition to previously supported languages (English, French, and German).

Note: To use the new SmartServer 2.2 features on a SmartServer 1.0 (a SmartServer currently running
the Release 4, 4.01, or 4.02 firmware) or on an i.LON e3 plus Server, you must have a SmartServer 2.0
license for each SmartServer 1.0 to be upgraded to a SmartServer 2.2 (a SmartServer running the
Release 4.06 firmware).

LONWORKS Connections in Standalone Mode

You can create LONWORKS connections in standalone networks. This enables devices on a power line
repeating networks to send and receive event-driven updates. Previously, if you selected the
Standalone network management you could only bind devices using Web connections, which use
polling to transmit and receive data. For example, a presence sensor in a street lighting network can
now detect a car and send the event to an outdoor lighting controller (OLC) to illuminate a street light
and transmit the event to street lights further down the network.

For more information on creating LONWORKS connections in a standalone network, see Connecting
LonWorks Data Points with LonWorks Connections in Chapter 5.

For more information on using LONWORKS connection in a power line repeating network, see the
Power Line Repeating Network Management Guide.

Increased Device and Data Point Limits

You can now install up to 300 devices and use up to 2,000 data points in a standalone network. The
previous limit for standalone networks was 200 devices and 1,000 data points.

SmartServer 2.2 User’s Guide 21

Maintenance Network Management Mode

You can speed up network commissioning using the new maintenance network management mode.
The Network Management Mode box in the Setup - LON Network Driver Web page includes a
new Maintenance option. When this option is selected, the SmartServer does not send out heartbeat
and polling messages. This increases the available bandwidth by freeing up the consumption from
checking data point heartbeats, sending poll requests, and receiving poll message responses. This
management mode is ideal for power line repeating networks. See the Power Line Repeating Network
Management Guide for more information.

Static Repeating Mode

You can optimize the performance of power line repeating networks using the new static proxy chains.
The Repeating box in the Setup - LON Channel Driver Web page includes a new On (Static Proxy
Chains) option. When this option is selected, the power line channel uses repeating, but the
SmartServer does not continuously try to discover and optimize the repeating chains used to
communicate messages from the SmartServer to the devices on the network. This increases the
available bandwidth on the power line repeating network for operational traffic. See the Power Line
Repeating Network Management Guide for more information.

Enhanced XMPP Client

You can use the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) to enable bi-directional
communication between SmartServers and enterprise applications located behind firewalls. For
SmartServer 2.2, the SmartServer XMPP client supports connections where the source or destination
IP address changes because of an IP lease timeout. In addition, the SmartServer XMPP client has new
configuration options that make it compatible with the Openfire XMPP server. For more information
on using the SmartServer XMPP client, see the SmartServer 2.2 XMPP Client Developer’s Guide.

OpenLNS Server and OpenLNS CT Support

SmartServer 2.2 supports the new OpenLNS Server when running in LNS mode. This enables the
SmartServer to remain synchronized with an OpenLNS database in a system managed with an
OpenLNS Server (for example, lighting systems and other building applications where an OpenLNS
Server is used to manage the network configuration). SmartServer 2.2 is compatible with the
OpenLNS Commissioning Tool and other OpenLNS tools.

i.LON Vision 2.2

You can rapidly create custom SmartServer 2.2 Web pages with the i.LON Vision 2.2 standalone Web
publishing tool.

With i.LON Vision 2.2, you can create custom Web pages for monitoring and controlling the data
points on your SmartServer 2.2—without any knowledge of HTML, JavaScript, or Web programming.
The i.LON Vision 2.2 toolkit provides many objects that you can use to read and write values to data
points, including basic read/write objects; SVG objects (for example, sliders, gauges, and
thermometers); application objects that expose some of the SmartServer’s built-in applications to your
end users; and a custom JavaScript object for implementing your own custom objects.

i.LON Vision 2.2 features quick Web page creation as you can switch between the edit and publish
views of your Web pages without long delays. This means that you can create or edit a custom Web
page and instantly see the results when you publish it.

Cross Browser Support

You can view the SmartServer 2.2 built-in and custom Web pages using Chrome and Safari in addition
to previously supported browsers (Internet Explorer and Firefox).

22 Introduction

New Languages

You can view the SmartServer 2.2 built-in and custom Web pages in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese in
addition to previously supported languages (English, French, and German).

You can work with the SmartServer in any one-byte or two-byte character language by translating the
.properties file in the /web/nls/echelon folder on the SmartServer flash disk. You can perform this
language localization using either the demo version of the SmartServer 2.0 Programming Tools
included on the SmartServer 2.2 DVD or using the full version on the SmartServer 2.0 Programming
Tools included on the SmartServer 2.0 Programming Tools DVD. For more information on ordering
the SmartServer 2.0 Programming Tools DVD, contact your Echelon sales representative. See the
SmartServer 2.0 Programming Tools User’s Guide for more information on how to localize the
language of the SmartServer Web interface.

SmartServer Limits

The SmartServer 2.2 has the following limits:

 Up to 4,096 address table entries.
 Up to 32 simultaneous outgoing transactions.
 Up to 1,024 network variable aliases.
 The number of devices and data points supported by the SmartServer in OpenLNS managed

networks depends on the available memory on the flash disk.

 The SmartServer can support up to 300 devices and 2,000 data points in standalone networks. This

limit may be lower depending on the number of data points and custom apps on the SmartServer.

 The SmartServer’s App device can support up to 3,000 dynamic network variables, but the

SmartServer may run out of memory before this limit is reached. The practical limit depends on
the sizes of the defined dynamic network variables. You can check the available memory on your
SmartServer using the Setup - System Info Web page. To access this Web page, right-click the
SmartServer icon in the navigation pane in the left frame, point to Setup, and then click System
Info in the shortcut menu. Alternatively, you can click Setup and then click System Info.

SmartServer Compatibility with Network Management Services and Tools

You can integrate the SmartServer 2.2 in systems managed by OpenLNS and LNS Turbo Edition
Servers (version 3.25 or newer). In addition, the SmartServer 2.2 is compatible with the OpenLNS
Commissioning Tool (CT), other OpenLNS tools, the LonMaker tool, and other LNS tools. For
simplicity when describing network management services and Echelon network tools hereafter, this
document references only OpenLNS Server and OpenLNS CT. For more information on integrating
the SmartServer 2.2 with OpenLNS CT, see Chapter 12, Using the SmartServer with OpenLNS CT.
