1 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.
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.
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.
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 SmartServer 2.0 User’s Guide. For more information on manually upgrading an i.
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 LONWORKS devices in both zones, the SmartServer, and the Nico energy meter.
Installing Echelon Enterprise Services 2.0 Software The Echelon Enterprise Services 2.0 software (EES 2.0) includes the i.LON Admin Server that you will use to import and deploy the provided i.LON template. In addition, it includes the LNS Proxy Web service and Tomcat 6 Server used for communication between the SmartServer and LNS network databases if you are deploying the i.LON template in an LNS managed network. If you are deploying the i.
