Standalone Mode
A network management service in which the SmartServer operates as the exclusive network manager
of the system. In standalone mode, the SmartServer directly transmits network management
commands to the devices attached to the same channel instead of transmitting the commands to the
devices through an LNS Server. For a power line repeating network, the SmartServer must be
operated in standalone mode in order for it to establish and maintain the appropriate repeating chains
on the network.
