Preparation

To use the eCommission application at the job site

Download the eCommission application to the mobile device and then activate the application (requires Internet access).

For more information, see Downloading and Starting the eCommission SmartX Controllers Mobile Application .

For more information, see Launching and Activating the eCommission SmartX Controllers Mobile Application .

To connect the eCommission application to the SmartX IP controllers

Consider the connectivity requirements needed for the job site, for either option: connect by wire or connect wirelessly.

For more information, see Connection and Architecture Options .

Download application images to SmartX IP controllers at the job site

Copy the application images onto the eCommission application mobile device.

For more information, see Transferring an Application Image File to a Mobile Device .

To download an application image to a SmartX IP controller

  1. In the eCommission application, in the Device List view, select the SmartX IP controller to which you want to download the application image.

    Note:

    The Device List view has filters that allow you to easily find and select the controller:

    • If you are logged in as a Flow Balancer, the device list is automatically filtered to show only MP-V controllers.

    • If you are logged in as a Technician or Electrician, you can sort the list of discovered devices by controller model.

  2. Tap NEXT .

  3. In the Device Settings view, tap the Menu button

    .

  4. Tap Download Image .

  5. In the Download Image dialog box, in the list of images, select the application image file you want to download.

    Note:

    To more easily find an application image file in the Download Image dialog box, you can sort the image files by model number.

  6. Tap Download .

  7. When the File Status dialog box indicates that the download has completed successfully, tap OK .

    Important:

    If a field-deployed image contains settings designed to change the IP address or IP assignment following deployment, be sure to perform a software warm restart from the eCommision SmartX Controllers mobile application to activate these changes to the IP network settings. This commanded warm restart is in addition to the hardware restart triggered by the image deployment itself. If you fail to perform this additional warm restart, the SmartX IP controller will continue to communicate using its previous IP network settings.

    For more information, see Restarting a SmartX IP Controller .

The application image is successfully downloaded to the SmartX IP controller. You can now finish commissioning the controller.
