replace an L-DALI in the network. Additionally a backup should be created (see Section
5.2.17).
To add more DALI devices, change DALI group assignment or application parameters it is
recommended to use the on-line work flow (see Section 7.2.2).
7.2.4 Replace an L-DALI
An L-DALI can be replaced in the network by another unit. This might be necessary if a
hardware defect occurs. If a backup of the latest configuration is available, restoring the
backup is the best option (see Section 7.4.6 and Section 5.2.17).
The work flow to restore a device from the corresponding LINX Configurator project file is
depicted in Figure 127. First of all, the replacement L-DALI needs to be configured with the
appropriate IP settings and all relevant system settings (BACnet device ID, CEA-852 device
settings, etc).
Start the LINX Configurator software stand-alone and connect via direct method (see
Section 7.4.2). Load the LINX Configurator project file from the directory, which has been
saved when the original L-DALI has been configured or modified. Double-check, if the
DALI configuration seems ok and all DALI devices in use are assigned, that is, have a valid
short address assigned. Then download the configuration to the L-DALI (see Section 7.4.4).

If using an LNS-based tool, all ports of the L-DALI device need to be replaced in that tool
at some later point in time (see Section 7.3.2) as the NID has changed. If you are not using
LNS, then refer to your network management tool’s reference manual on how to replace a
device.

7.3.1 Adding an L-DALI
To configure an L-DALI in your LonMaker drawing, the device needs to be added to the
LNS database and commissioned. This Section refers to LonMaker TE and describes how
to add an L-DALI to your database.
Note:
For the L-DALI versions supporting multiple DALI channels (LDALI-3E102 and
LDALI-3E104) for each DALI channel used a L

device must be added to the LNS
database.
