Note, that after the download is complete, the interface changes become active on the L-
Proxy (i.e., the static NV interface has changed). Refresh the network management tool to
synchronize the tool with the changes to the LNS database made by the L-Proxy
Configurator (e.g., use the menu “LonMaker|Refresh” in LonMaker or hit
F5
in NL-220).
Normally, the Configurator software optimizes the download process by not executing
certain LNS operations, if not necessary. For example, only those bindings and dynamic
NVs are deleted and re-created, which correspond to real changes in the interface. The user
can check the
Force Full Upgrade
option to clean and re-do all steps.
Note:
In the simple mode the L-Proxy Configurator never modifies the LNS database. In this
mode, the configuration is only downloaded to modify connections.
After the download has completed, the LNS databases for those ports on which the static
interface has changed must be opened by the respective engineers and upgraded to the new
interface. Refer to Section 7.9.16 on how to use the Configurator assisting this task.
7.9.12 Exchange the Port Interface Definition
To exchange the port interface definitions, engineers need to export and import the port
interface definition files (.itf). Access to these functions is given through the Datapoint
Manager dialog.
To Extract the Port Interface Definition
1.
Select the
CEA-709 Port
folder
2.
To upload dynamic NVs of the port to be exported, right-click on the port folder. In
the context menu select
Sync Dynamic NVs
.
3.
The Configurator then loads any new dynamic NVs, which have been created and are
not yet part of the port. The process completes by reporting how many dynamic NVs
have been synchronized.
4.
Right-click on the port folder and select
Export Interface…
in the context menu. This
opens a file requestor.
5.
Save the port interface definition file giving it a useful name, e.g., as “myproxy-
port2.itf”.
To Import a Port Interface Definition
1.
Right-click on the port folder and select
Import Interface…
. This opens a file
requestor, where the corresponding .itf file can be chosen.
2.
If the new port interface contains additional NVs they are created. If NVs have been
removed in the new port interface, which is part of a current connection, the user is
prompted whether these NVs shall really be deleted.
