LON Device Management Needs To Be Disabled

LON Device Management Needs To Be Disabled

This feature is not supported for SmartServer 4.6

With SmartServer 4.5 Update 2 and higher, you can disable LON device management by adding an option to the connection.conf file. With this option, the LON driver is placed in a locked state disabling LON device management changes.

To disable LON device management, follow these steps:

  1. Open a terminal connection to SmartServer IoT/SmartConnect.

  2. Open the connection.conf file using the following command:

    SmartServer IoT

    nano /var/apollo/conf.d/connection.conf


    SmartConnect

    nano /var/smartserver/conf.d/connection.conf


    The connection.conf file appears.

  3. Add the following line to the connection.conf file.

    locked=1

     

  4. Save the connection.conf file.

  5. Reboot the SmartServer IoT/SmartConnect.

Do not change or remove any connections while LON device management is disabled.  If you inadvertently remove a connection while LON device management is in a disabled state, then first re-enable LON device management as described below, then remove all datapoints from the connection, and finally remove the connection again.

To re-enable LON device management, change the line that was added in step #3 to locked=0 and then reboot the SmartServer IoT/SmartConnect.
