Note

nProtex does not use normal Niagara licensing and does not require a certificate

Step 2. Tag Niagara Stations

Each subordinate station needs a simple "nprotex" tag to let nProtex know that it should be included in reports and licensed.  This tag can be of any type and the only requirement is that it is a property named "nprotex" underneath the Niagara Station.  The ProgramService can be used to batch add tags or it can be done manually by adding a slot.

Manual:

  1. Navigate to the Niagara Network

  2. View the Slot Sheet of the Station you'd like to license as one of the nProtex stations

  3. Right Click > Add

  4. Change the name to "nprotex" 

  5. Type can be set to anything such as a baja String
