nProtex is packaged as a single JAR file for both Niagara AX and Niagara4.  

Install JAR

The first step is to install the nProtex JAR file.  There are separate JARs for Niagara AX and Niagara4 with file names as follows:

  • Niagara AX: nProtex.jar
  • Niagara 4: nProtex-rt.jar

These JARs must be installed on both the WebSupervisor and JACE stations that will be utilizing nProtex. 

Install nProtex Service

The next step is to install the nProtex Service on each Station.  To install:

  1. Open your Station and navigate to the Services container
  2. Open the nProtex palette
  3. Drag the nProtex Service from the palette to Services

When installing on the server the flag for server underneath the service will need to be set to true to indicate that it should be accessible at /nprotex and so that it is understood that this is the top of the tree when iterating through other connected JACEs

Access

NProtex is available from the host running the service with the server flag from the endpoint http://{the_host}/nprotex

(Additional) Import Audit Logs

In order for the Audit View to load and analyze remote audit logs the AuditHistory from each station must be imported into the host server.  In order to do this:

  1. On your nProtex server, navigate to Drivers / Niagara Network
  2. Expand each remote Station and double ciick "Histories"
  3. Click "Discover" to load all available remote histories
  4. Locate the "AuditHistory" which is under a folder that matches the remote station name
  5. Drag the AuditHistory to the bottom pane and press OK (keep default settings)
