6.4.4 Configure without LNS Using Bindings
The flow diagram in Figure 93 shows the steps that need to be followed in order to
configure the device without LNS 3.x. In this scenario the device will use static NVs and
bindings. The advantage of this solution is that the network load is minimized. However, the
non-LNS management tool must create bindings for the device and update an existing
network.
Start the Configurator in stand-alone mode and connect to the device via the FTP method
(see Section 6.6.1). In the Configurator import data points from a CSV import file (see
Section 6.7.3) or from an XIF file (see Section 6.8.1). If the other devices are already
connected to the network you may also scan them (see Section 6.7.4). Select the data points
that the device shall expose (see Section 6.7.5). For the NVs used on the device select the
―static NV‖ allocation type (see Section 6.7.6). Alternatively, you can create static NVs
manually (see Section 6.7.7).
For network management tools, which do not support the ECS (enhanced command set)
network management commands, the legacy network management mode must be configured
(see Section 6.7.10). Please contact the tool‘s vendor for information whether ECS is
supported or not.
Download the configuration onto the device (see Section 6.6.4). Finally, export a XIF file
(see Section 6.7.11). It is recommended to backup the device configuration to a file for
being able to replace the device in the network (see Section 6.6.6).
