4. You can acquire the Neuron ID of the replacement device using a service
pin or you can enter it manually:
If you are using the service pin method, press the service pin of
the device. The Neuron ID and program ID of the device are both
entered into the Incoming Service Pin Messages box and they are
input into the Neuron ID or LUID and Program ID boxes,
respectively.
If you are using the manual entry method, enter the 12-digit hex
string of the device in the Neuron ID or LUID box.
5. Click OK.
6. Click Submit. The SmartServer downloads the application and the
configuration data of the original device to the replacement device,
decommissions the replacement device, begins repeater discovery, and
then commissions the replacement device.
7. To check the status of the device replacement, open the LON Command
Queue Web page: Right-click the SmartServer icon, select Setup, and
click LON Command Queue on the shortcut menu. Alternatively, you can
open the Tools menu and then click LON Command Queue. See
Checking Device Installation Status
on page 51 for more information
about using the LON Command Queue Web page.
Decommissioning Devices
You can use the SmartServer to decommission a device if you are no longer using
it or if you are moving it to a new network. In addition, you can temporarily
decommission a device to optimize, troubleshoot, or repair your network.
Decommissioning logically removes the device from the network. When you
decommission a device, its Neuron ID is preserved so that you can subsequently
recommission the device without having to re-acquire its Neuron ID. In addition,
the configuration properties of the device are preserved in the SmartServer’s
internal database. You can then later recommission the same or different devices
without having to load configuration property files to the device.
Note: Decommissioning a device can affect the performance of the power line
repeating network, particularly if the device is being used as a repeating agent in
