OpenLDV Programmer’s Guide 135
installing the software does not return the default values to these
profiles. However, the xDriver Profile Editor allows you to restore any
profile to its default value.
Install your profiles with temporary Registry entries that are overwritten
each time the software is installed. In this case, the default values would
be restored each time the software is installed, and all changes that were
configured by the user since the last installation would be lost.
After you create a profile to use your custom lookup extension component and
(optionally) start the Connection Broker, you can begin using OpenLDV or LNS
applications (such as the LonMaker Integration Tool) to access the networks that
you will use with xDriver.
Alternatively, you can begin creating LNS applications that use xDriver. See
Chapter 7, LNS Programming with xDriver, on page 137, for programming
samples that can assist you in creating these new applications.
Starting the Connection Broker
The Connection Broker must be running for xDriver to receive uplink session
requests. However, it is not required for downlink sessions.
The Connection Broker automatically stops if there are no profiles with uplink
session handling enabled. In addition, the Connection Broker must be stopped
and restarted each time uplink session handling for a profile is enabled or
disabled.
The Connection Broker runs as an interactive service, which allows your
applications that use the Connection Broker to display relevant dialogs for user
interaction. However, any user dialogs are displayed in a separate Windows
desktop from the one the user is logged into, so that a user might not reply to
these dialogs. Thus, an uplink application should use an interface that does not
require user interaction.
To start the Connection Broker, perform the following tasks:
1. Open the Services administrative control panel applet:
Windows 7: Control Panel System and Security Administrative
Tools Services
Windows XP: Control Panel Administrative Tools Services
2. Locate the entry for the Echelon xDriver Connection Broker, as
shown in Figure 36 on page 136.
