You can install the SmartServer 2.2 software from a SmartServer 2.2 download image or DVD, or update any prior release of SmartServer 2.0 to SmartServer 2.2 by installing SmartServer 2.0 SP4. Prior releases are SmartServer 2.0 with no service packs, SmartServer 2.0 SP1, SmartServer 2.0 SR2, SmartServer 2.0 SP2, and SmartServer 2.0 SP3.
SmartServer 2.0 SP4 is available as a free download at www.echelon.com/smartserver but can only be installed on a computer with a prior release of the SmartServer 2.0 software. To upgrade the i.LON 100 e3 Plus or SmartServer 1.0 software, you can purchase a license for the SmartServer 2.2 Software and the software will be provided to you as a software download. The SmartServer 2.2 software will not run on hardware releases prior to the i.LON 100 e3 Plus due to the smaller memories of the prior releases.
To install the SmartServer 2.2 software, follow these steps:
1.
If you are installing the SmartServer 2.2 software from a SmartServer
2.2 DVD, insert the DVD into your DVD drive. If your computer does not
have a DVD drive, insert the Echelon SmartServer 2.2 DVD on a network
accessible computer that has a DVD drive and copy the files on the DVD to a
shared network drive. If the SmartServer 2.2 setup application does not
start immediately, open the setup.exe file on the root directory of the
Echelon SmartServer 2.2 DVD.
If you are installing SmartServer 2.2 from a file that you downloaded from the
Echelon website, double-click the downloaded file in Windows Explorer to extract
all the files. Click OK when all the files are extracted. The
SmartServer 2.2 setup application will start automatically.
2. The Echelon SmartServer 2.2 setup application main menu appears.
3. Click Install Products. The Install Products dialog appears.
4. Click Echelon SmartServer 2.2 Software. The Echelon SmartServer 2.2 Software installer appears.
5. Follow the steps of the installation wizard. If you have an existing installation of the SmartServe 2.0 software, the installation will automatically update it to SmartServer 2.2. See Chapter 2 of the SmartServer 2.2 User’s Guide for more information on installing the SmartServer 2.2 software.
6. Update the firmware in your SmartServers to the SmartServer 2.2 firmware. See Upgrading the SmartServer Firmware in Chapter 2 of the Echelon Enterprise Services 2.2 User’s Guide for details on how to update the firmware.
Scan command for device discovery on repeating channels can now be done for unconfigured devices (NST_UNCONFIGURED) and previously commissioned or preconfigured devices (NST_SELECTED). In addition, the Scan command can also be used to limit the number of discovered devices per agent and to start predictive device discovery. (67948, 67951)
An optional AuthenticationKey property has been added to the LON device property page to provide security during device commissioning. This optional key is used when a device is added or replaced through the SNM. (67949, 67950)
For improving device image download time, a new LCA_MAINTENANCE mode has been added to the UCPTmgmtMode in the LON_Netowrk_Cfg to suppress sending of heartbeats and poll requests to the network. (57447, 57823, 67967)

This section describes known problems and their workarounds for this release. Numbers in parentheses at the end of the descriptions are Echelon's internal problem tracking IDs.
When commissioning a street light network, improper configuration can cause excessively long commissioning times due to the large number of devices sharing the available power line bandwidth.
Workaround: Do not use the default method for adding a device to the SmartServer using the device interface (XIF) file. In this case, the SmartServer automatically defines a 600 second polling interval for each data point defined by the XIF file. Thus, as you add devices and commission those, the total network traffic load increases because of this data point polling. The polling traffic then competes with the traffic associated with device commissioning, so that commissioning each device can take a long time to complete.
Use device templates instead of defining devices with the XIF file. Create a device template that defines the polling and heartbeat rates for each data point associated with a device type. See Chapter 4 of the SmartServer User’s Guide for more information about creating and using device templates.
To add devices to the SmartServer using a device template rather than a XIF file:
You can also add functionality to your streetlight management system that sets polling and heartbeat rates after the device commissioning process is complete. When the system is ready for operation, the streetlight management system can set the polling and heartbeats to values that are appropriate for the available channel bandwidth.
(57520, 57708)
When monitoring a street light network with active multi-hop repeating, online devices may be reported as offline due to delayed responses caused by the repeating chains. Workaround: If you see unexpected offline reports in street light networks, increase the offline delay for LonWorks devices to accommodate the delayed responses. To set the offline delay for devices, right-click the LonWorks channel in the SmartServer navigation pane and then click Properties on the shortcut menu. (58275)
A 6-byte authentication key will fail when used with the Echelon CRD 3000 Power Line/RF Bridge. Workaround: Always specify a 12-byte authentication key for networks that use the CRD 3000. (57993)
You cannot use an intermediate SSL certificate to secure your SmartServer via HTTPS/SSL. Workaround: Create a self‑signed SSL certificate or obtain a direct‑signed SSL certificate. (54561)
You cannot commission a device in the LNS tree that has a bound output network variable with a changeable type that was changed with the SCPTnvType configuration property. Workaround: Commission the device with the LonMaker tool or other LNS application. (54584)
The “Cannot synchronize with LNS" error massage is displayed in the Web interface approximately 20 minutes after the condition has been resolved. Workaround: Manually clear the system log to delete the error message. (54772)
If you open the Alarm History or Alarm Summary Web pages before configuring an Alarm Notifier, a “No application response for '#8000010128000000[4].UFPTalarmNotifier" error message is displayed in the Web interface. Workaround: Configure an Alarm Notifier, and then re-open these Web pages. (57045)
The AFB output is not updated after the poll on reset delay interval is over if any of the input data points get an update during the interval. Workaround: Specify a poll on reset delay of 0 for the AFB. (54503)
Once you disable the SmartServer Security Web page, you cannot re-enable it. Workaround: Use the console interface to change security settings after you disable the Security Web page. (54668)
Some cellular carriers such as Deutsche Telekom are converting their networks to use IP interfaces to carry Circuit Switch Data (CSD). The IP interfaces have longer latencies than previous CSD interfaces, and as a result up to 8 seconds of latency can be added during modem initialization. This increased time can result in modem initialization failures. Workaround: Select a modem that is compatible with your carrier’s network. (63533)
If you add a device to the network in Standalone network management mode and attempt to commission the device with the wrong Neuron ID, the operation will fail as expected. If you then use the Release Neuron ID' command, and use the correct Neuron ID, the Web UI will create a new device instance in the SmartServer, leaving the first attempted device in the list of devices. These orphans may persist across resets. On a SmartServer defined interval the SmartServer will continue to attempt commissioning these devices. Workaround: Use the Replace command. (69187)
If you use a single double quote in the units field of a resource file format, the double quote will be treated as a special symbol and will not be displayed within the formatted text. Workaround: To use the double quote (") character in a unit string, you must escape it with another double quote. For example, to use a single double quote character to represent inches, enter two double quotes (""). If you do not escape the double quote, the Data Logger: View Web page may not display the data point value. (67450)
Communications may fail if you assign a duplicate address for the Ethernet IP address and the PPP IP, or if you assign addresses within the same subnet address range. Workaround: Assign local IP addresses outside the range of the SmartServer's Ethernet IP connection. For example, do not use 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255 for a local IP address if you are using the SmartServer's default IPv4 address (192.1.168.222). (61637)
If you misconfigure heartbeats for a dynamic output NV on the SmartServer, updates to the output may not occur when you expect them. Workaround: Use the following guidelines for adding a dynamic output NV to a functional block in the SmartServer:
1. After adding the functional block and a dynamic output NV with a heartbeat time defined, commission and set the iLON app online. Heartbeats will not work if the iLON application is not commissioned and online.
2. The default SmartServer behavior for creating a dynamic NV is to create an Input NV. If you are creating an output NV, you must select the Output NV option before you click Submit.
3. Before you create a connection, select the type of connection. If you do not specify the connection type, the SmartServer will select the connection type automatically. The automatic selection may not be correct for your use case. The connection type that works for most uses cases is Repeated LON Connection.
4. Initialize the Output NV with a valid value to kick off the heartbeats. (69067)
Configuring an Event Scheduler with an exception name longer than 25 bytes on a SmartServer release prior to 2.2 may generate many unknown exceptions that appear in the event log. In SmartServer 2.2, if you configure an Event Scheduler with an exception name longer than 25 bytes the Event Scheduler (not the Web UI) will only take the first 25 bytes and terminate the name with a null character at the 26th byte. Workaround: Verify that the first 25 bytes of any exception names are unique. (68993, 69294)
Configuring an internal turnaround LON connection such as a connection from a scheduler to an alarm generator in PL repeating mode does not work. Workaround: Always use SmartServer Web connections for connections between internal SmartServer functional blocks. (69353)
If you attempt to create a LON connection to an external device when the iLON App is not yet commissioned will silently fail. Workaround: Always commission the iLON App before making any LON connections. (69411)
When you attempt to open the i.LON 100 configuration plug-in, the following message may be displayed: "Unable to communicate with the iLON 100. Please verify the IP address and network connection. Application: Dataserver NVL List." Workaround: Install the Microsoft MSXML4 SP3 plug-in as described in the following procedure:
