Make sure that there is only one WebVision  
accessing the LONWORKS network at a given point in  
time. If more than one WebVision accesses the

WebVision acts as an offline configuration tool that helps the  
contractor to configure site project that consists of multiple  
unitary controllers. The contractor can commission all the  
controllers by connecting through a LAN, WAN, or Dial-up.  
WebVision also acts like a network time master to synchronize  
time and date in devices connected to it with its own time and  
date or with the Internet time servers. Its Device Discovery  
feature enables you to discover online devices. You can  
manage users and control their access to different resources  
in the system. The System Administrator can configure  
network settings, site information settings, system and control,  
network data and time settings, and new module installation.
