Figure 93: Basic design-flow without LNS using bindings.
To use the device in the non-LNS management tool, commission the device using the
exported XIF file and create the bindings.
When changing a running device configuration with existing bindings, it is recommended to
create additional data points as external NVs with polling as described in Section 6.4.3.
Otherwise, depending on the third-party tool, a new XIF file may be required to be exported
for replacing the device in the non-LNS tool. In this case the user would need to create all
bindings again from scratch (see Section 5.4.3).
6.4.5 Replace a L-INX
A device can be replaced in the network by another unit. This might be necessary if a
hardware defect occurs. First of all, the replacement device needs to be configured with the
appropriate IP settings. The remainder of this section focuses on restoring the device
configuration from a backup file. The work flow is depicted in Figure 94.
