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:
Navigate to the Niagara Network
View the Slot Sheet of the Station you'd like to license as one of the nProtex stations
Right Click > Add
Change the name to "nprotex"
Type can be set to anything such as a baja String
Click OK.
This will add a new slot of the selected type to your Niagara Station. Step 3 below will then activate this Station and all nProtex views will attempt to include it.
Step 3. Activate Subordinate Stations
The third step activates all connected JACEs which prevents having to install individual license files per station. To activate JACEs:
- Navigate to Services/nProtexService/License within your Workbench station
- Right-click on License and select Action > Activate Stations
This will attempt to connect to all Stations that were tagged in (2) in the Niagara Network, look for Services/nProtexService and activate them. Once activated, connected JACEs will be usable within nProtex as well as use the Firewall functionality.
