Product Description

IzoT Net Server is a software platform for LON? network design, installation,

monitoring and control applications. Create or run applications to install,

commission, monitor, and control a community of devices. The IzoT Net

Server provides services for Windows applications to configure devices,

connections, routers, and channels, as well as subsystems containing

devices and routers.

Create LON networks with up to 32,385 devices on up to 1000 channels.

Each device in the network can have up to 4096 datapoints or network

variables. Create peer-to-peer connections between devices or between

groups of devices. Each network may contain tens of thousands of

connections.

The server works with all LON devices giving you a wide variety of options for

the devices to be installed in your networks. There are never any per-device

fees, credits, or royalties when using Net Server.

The server maintains all device and network configuration information in

a high-performance database. Networks can be designed offline without

access to the physical hardware so that networks can be designed prior to

the availability of physical hardware. The database enables replacement

of devices that fail, so that the configuration and connections of the failed

device can be automatically copied to the replacement device. Upgrade

services ensure that configuration and connections are maintained, even in

cases where the replacement device has updated firmware with a modified

network interface.

A backup and restore mechanism enables the entire network database to be

routinely backed-up, and later restored after a computer hardware failure. A

hot-backup capability is included so a system can continue to run while the

database is backed up.

Networks can also be recovered from the physical devices in cases where

the database and all backups are lost.

Network operation is supported with services to read and write datapoints,

network variables, and configuration properties. Datapoint and network

variable update notification events are provided so that applications can

be notified when specified datapoints or network variables are updated.

Datapoint, network variable, and configuration property values are

automatically formatted based on resource file definitions, with application

control of the formats used for each point.
