SmartServer 2.2
Quick Start Guide
Welcome to SmartServer 2.2. Your SmartServer is a versatile middleware appliance that connects to IP-based
applications such as enterprise energy management, demand response programs, and streetlight management systems.
The server not only allows you to access, control, and monitor electronic devices, but also lets you use data intelligently to save energy, improve operations, and lower maintenance costs. Easy to deploy and manage, and capable of both local and remote control, the SmartServer offers unparalleled flexibility. Use it as a standalone server, or integrate it with the control system of your choice. With built-in drivers for industry-standard protocols like Echelon’s LOnWORkS® technology, SOAP/XML, ModBus, M-Bus, digital I/O, and pulsecount input; a BACnet driver available from ConnectEx; and custom driver support for everything else. Options are available for IP-852 routing and custom application support.

Step 1: Install the SmartServer 2.2 Software
1.Before installing, check www.echelon.com/smartserver for the latest SmartServer service pack and updates. See the installation instructions included with the service pack or update for more information.
2.Insert the SmartServer 2.2 DVD into your computer. If the installation program fails to start, navigate to your DVD-ROM drive and run setup.exe.
3.Click Install Products, click Echelon SmartServer 2.2 Software, and then follow the instructions in the Setup Wizard.
Step 2: Connect the SmartServer Hardware
1.Use an Ethernet cable to connect your SmartServer to an IP network that can communicate with your computer.
2.If your computer is not on the 192.168.1 subnet, open a command prompt and type the following command:
route add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 %computername%.
If you are running Windows 8, Windows 7 or Windows Vista™ on your computer, you need to open the command prompt with administrator privileges. To do this, click Start, type cmd in the search box, right-click cmd.exe, and then select Run as Administrator. If you receive a “The parameter is incorrect” error after entering the route command, replace %computername% with the IP address of your computer.
3.Open Internet Explorer 8 or later, Mozilla Firefox 9 or later, or Chrome 16 or newer and enter the following URL: 192.168.1.222. Your SmartServer home page appears.
4.Click the Login button.
5.If a login dialog appears, enter ilon for both the User name and the Password and then click OK. The SmartServer – Welcome Web page appears.
Step 3: Set the SmartServer IP Address
1.Right-click SmartServer near the top of the navigation pane in the left side of the Web page, point to Setup on
the shortcut menu, and then click
TCP/IP.
2.The Setup – Local SmartServer
Web page appears.
3.Configure the IP and DnS properties for your SmartServer.
4.Optionally, you can configure IPv6 properties for your SmartServer by selecting the Advanced check box.
5.Click Submit.
6.Reboot the SmartServer. To do this, right-click SmartServer in the navigation pane, point to Setup, and then click Reboot. In the Setup – Reboot dialog, click Reboot. The reboot takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 4: Select a Network Management Service
You can manage a LOnWORkS network using OpenLnS and LnS® network management services or using the SmartServer as a standalone network manager. When using OpenLnS or LnS network management services, you can configure the SmartServer to automatically synchronize with an OpenLnS or LnS Server (the OpenLnS or LnS Auto network management service), or to synchronize manually under your control (the OpenLnS or LnS Manual network management service).
•When using the OpenLnS or LnS Auto and OpenLnS or LnS Manual network services, the SmartServer synchronizes with an OpenLnS or LnS Server, and uses the OpenLnS or LnS Server to perform all network management tasks. In these modes, the SmartServer and the devices on the attached LOnWORkS network can communicate in a peer-to-peer manner. You must have an OpenLnS or LnS Server Turbo Edition (version 3.2 or newer) to use either of the OpenLnS or LnS network management services. The OpenLnS Server is available from Echelon at http://www.echelon.com/openlns.
•When using the Standalone network management service, the SmartServer is the network manager. The network functions as a master-slave system, where the SmartServer is the master to the slave devices. The devices can also communicate peer-to-peer. You can use standalone mode to operate a small, single-channel network that does not require OpenLnS or LnS services, or synchronization with other network management tools. networks running in standalone mode are limited to a maximum of 300 devices and no routers (for TP/FT-10 networks, you need to attach a physical layer repeater to the network to exceed the 64 device segment limit).
Using the OpenLNS Auto and OpenLNS (LNS Auto and LNS Manual) Network Management Services
1.Install the Echelon SmartServer 2.2 Enterprise Services on your OpenLnS or LnS Server computer from the SmartServer 2.2 DVD. To do this, click
