4       Installing i.LON Vision 2.2 SP2

You can install i.LON Vision 2.2 SP2 from a SmartServer 2.2 SP2 download image, or update any prior release of i.LON Vision 2.2 or i.LON Vision 2.0 to i.LON Vision 2.2 SP2 by installing SmartServer 2.2 SP2.  Prior i.LON Vision 2.2 and i.LON Vision 2.0 releases were included with SmartServer 2.0 with no service packs, SmartServer 2.0 SP1, SmartServer 2.0 SR2/SP2, SmartServer 2.0 SP2, SmartServer 2.0 SP3, and SmartServer 2.2 and SmartServer SR1/SP1.

6 Known Problems and Workarounds

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.

6.1 No Fault Tolerance for Local Preset Values

The value of a local preset must match the format of the data point (for example, 100.0 for a SNVT_switch.value data point) or the local preset will not work.  Workaround: Specify a valid value for the data point or data point field when you create a local preset.  (54530)

6.2 Presets Not De-selected After Move

If you move a preset up or down the list in the Image Swapper, you cannot correctly change images.  Workaround: Close and reopen the dialog after you move a preset. (57593)

6.3 Navigation Trees without Layers Do Not Display Correctly

If you add a navigation tree to a page that is not on a layer, it does not display correctly.  Workaround: Always use a layer when inserting a navigation tree. (57091)

6.4 Inner Layers cannot be Selected

If you add an i.LON Vision object to a custom Web page, leave it in the default position in the upper left-hand corner of the Web page, publish the Web page, edit the Web page, and immediately add a new i.LON Vision object, the new object’s layer will be placed within the first object’s layer, and you cannot select the inner layer. Workaround:  Deselect the new object by clicking anywhere in the Web page, re-select the new object, and then move the layer to the desired location.  (54631)

6.5 Table Properties cannot be Set for Rows or Columns

You cannot set size, alignment, cell style, or text wrap properties for entire table rows or columns.  Workaround: Select properties for each cell individually. (57594)
