The following section summarizes the issues fixed in the SmartServer 2.2, 2.1, and 2.0 releases and service packs. The Issue column lists Echelon internal issue tracking numbers.
|
Issue |
Description |
|
ILC-65754 |
Fixed Modbus databpoint aggregation failure (when the message size exceed 240 byte bytes) to allow handling the maximum Modbus message of 246 bytes. |
|
ILE-7756 |
Fixed a gzipped data log file corruption when SmartServer tried to recreate a gzipped log file after renaming one or more datapoints followed by either a change in data log configuration or rebooting of the SmartServer. In both cases, the data log file will be checked for deleted (or renamed) data points and the data log file will be recreated with deleted/renamed data point entries removed. |
|
ILE-7811 |
Fixed the SmartServer “Unknown” powerline repeating setting (after firmware upgrade) to one of the three allowable modes: Repeating Off, Repeating On (with Automatic Discovery and Optimization of Proxy Chains) or Repeating On (with Static Proxy Chain). |
|
ILE-7852 |
Updated the SmartServer ILON100_FTT_V40 & ILON100_PLC_V40 dynamic interface templates to support adding of dynamic NVs over 31 bytes in length & fix incorrect static NV count. |
|
ILE-7960 |
Fixed a repeating proxy history mechanism lock up problem that caused a nascent device to incorrectly get an LDV_DEVICE_ERR(4) message, go into a temporary unknown state and eventually come back into an up state. |
|
ILE-7962 |
Added data logger support in handling double quote character/symbol ("- which is the US symbol for length unit in inches) as a unit override string in data point by automatically preceding another double quote character as an escape character. |
|
ILE-7966 |
Fixed/reduced memory footprint by 7 MB of RAM space for non-M-Bus and most M-Bus applications that do not need multi-telegram feature. The resource file needed to support M-Bus multi-telegram feature (introduced in SmartServer 2.2 SR1/SP1 – revision 4.06.057) contains M-Bus DP definitions for 65 to 200 value elements and requiring additional 7 MB of RAM space. Since non-M-Bus and most M-Bus applications do not need the extended M-Bus DP formats, starting with SmartServer 2.2 SP5 (revision 4.09) the default is the original M-Bus resource file that requires 7 MB less RAM space. When the M-Bus driver detects application usage of an extended M-Bus DP format, it automatically replaces the default M-Bus resource file with the extended M-Bus resource file that uses an additional 7 MB of RAM space. |
|
ILE-7971 |
Improved the way SmartServer does nascent device checking: If a device is down but the SmartServer is still able to communicate with it using its Neuron ID addressing then it is assumed to be in nascent state if any of the following is true: a. Device is unconfigured. b. Domain index 0 has the invalid bit set c. Domain index 0 has the wrong domain ID, subnet or node. |
|
ILE-8015 |
Fixed a LonTalk stack issue where NV update messages sent from an external device were dropped. |
|
Issue |
Description |
|
Fixed iLON configuration plug-in failure due to missing MSXML4 library. |
|
|
ILE-7752 |
Fixed an issue that cause peer-to-peer periodic heartbeat from SmartServer to a device to stall due to MaxAge while in Data Points View page. |
|
ILE-7853 |
Improved LON binding algorithm to reduce too many network management messages (no need to query & only send the used binding entries). |
|
ILE-7912 |
Fixed the V40 dynamic interface to limit the instantiation of the hardware function blocks (such as DI/DO/PC/RTC) to the actual physical device count. For example, 2 DI, 2 DO, 2 PC and 1 RTC. |
|
ILE-7939 & ILE-7894 |
Fixed a memory leak issue when a scheduled alarm sent an email with SSL/TLS. This issue affects SMTP, Web Binder and XMPP/gloox clients when configured using SSL/TLS. |
|
ILE-7947 |
Fixed an issue that causes SOAP response for a request using a different unit format (i.e. °C) than the defined format for the data point (i.e. °F) to return the defined format (°F) instead of the requested format (°C), even though the actual scalar value get scaled/converted properly to the requested format (in Celcius). |
|
ILE-7952 |
Fixed an issue that caused the SmartServer to calculate the wrong daylight saving start and stop time for some regions. |
|
ILWP-3279 |
Fixed an issue that caused a Public Exception schedule not showing up under Calendar after duplicating Scheduler function block. |
|
ILWP-3303 |
Fixed an issue under Internet Explorer 11 that caused the context menu in the right pane of SmartServer Web-UI to stay/remain after switching to a different function block. |
|
ILWP-3306 |
Fixed an issue that caused the SmartServer to reboot when deleting a device that still has a LON binding. |
|
ILWP-69187 |
Fixed an issue that leaves orphaned/stranded devices in the SmartServer when performing ‘Release Neuron ID’ command after a failed commissioning attempt. |
|
Issue |
Description |
|
ILC-69177 |
Fixed an issue with changing the direction of a dynamic data point after the data point has been created. |
|
ILE-7846 |
Fixed an issue that caused the SmartServer IP-852 router to fail due to an invalid Session ID when interoperating with the Gesytec Easylon Router. |
|
ILE-7885 |
Fixed an issue that caused the SOAP DataServer Read command to return Item-Data (containing status E_Fault: DataServer busy) instead of Dp-Data when a data point is (hard) offline. |
|
ILE-7894 |
Fixed a memory leak of 3KB per XMPP call in the XMPP client. |
|
ILE-7899 |
Updated the V40 dynamic interface XIF file to fix a broken reference to the Node Object’s nviTimeSet network variable. |
|
ILE-64241 |
Fixed an issue that caused the SmartServer to report an Exception Vector #1: “<CO-01E1024> - missing ‘Domain’ element” error when setting LON_Network_Cfg via SOAP. |
|
ILE-68533 |
Fixed an issue that caused the SmartServer Scheduler to incorrectly report data point status at midnight. |
|
ILE-69303 |
Fixed an issue that reported an unitialized value (typically 0) in response to a SOAP request for a configuration network variable value with UCPTmaxAge set when the request was sent after a reboot. Persistent values for internal device configuration network variable data points are now persistent across reboots. |
|
ILE-69353 |
Fixed an issue that caused a LON turnaround (internal) connection to fail on a power-line repeating network. |
|
ILWP-3277 |
Fixed an issue that caused the SmartServer to hang and cause SOAP timeouts after repeatedly opening and closing the Global Settings dialog three or more times. |

This section describes known problems and their workarounds for this release. Numbers in parentheses at the end of the descriptions are Echelon's internal issue 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 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)
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)
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)
