connections with a group of remote networks. For example, you could have

hundreds of remote networks, each of which has a SmartServer attached. At

your service center, your monitoring tool could use the OpenLDV driver to listen

for session requests from these networks and send messages to remote devices.

The OpenLDV driver includes a default xDriver profile. You can use the default

xDriver profile for your OpenLDV applications, or you can use the xDriver Profile

Editor to create a custom xDriver profile for your OpenLDV applications; see

Chapter 5, Using the xDriver Default Profile, on page 93.

You can configure each xDriver profile to provide your application with

information identifying the network interface that has requested a network

session. Thus, you can program your application to quickly identify the source of

the session request, and respond to a variety of different alarm conditions. See

Configuring an xDriver Profile on page 94 for more information about the xDriver

profile.

Installing the OpenLDV Software

The following sections describe the requirements for downloading the OpenLDV

software, installing it, and using the OpenLDV software.

Hardware and Software Requirements

To install and use the OpenLDV 4.0 software, your computer must meet the

following minimum requirements, in addition to those imposed by your operating

system:

• 512 MB RAM (or the Windows operating system minimum requirement)

• Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit), Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit),

Downloading the OpenLDV Software

You can download the OpenLDV driver and SDK from Echelon’s Web site at

www.echelon.com/downloads

The OpenLDV driver installer (OpenLDV400.exe) installs the OpenLDV driver,

the L

ONWORKS Interfaces application in the Windows Control Panel, and the

xDriver Profile Editor.

You can incorporate the OpenLDV driver installer into your OpenLDV

application’s installation, either as a standalone component that your end-users

will install, or as a component that your overall software installer will install.

The OpenLDV runtime installer is based on Microsoft Installer 3.1. If the

computer onto which you are installing the OpenLDV driver uses an older

version of Microsoft Installer, the OpenLDV driver installation will update the

computer to use version 3.1.
