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.
