To use the export tag feature (as described in this document revision), you must have a Supervisor running NiagaraAX-3.7 or later. In addition, any subordinate station you wish to “tag up” with export tags should also be running AX-3.7 or later, where that host is licensed for enterprise connectivity (its license should have the “niagaraDriver” feature with a non-zero device limit).

On each JACE, make sure the exportTags module is installed (if not already present, or upgrade if an older revision). The exportTags module is required to support “tagging up” the JACE station.

For more details about software installation, see “About the Commissioning Wizard” in the JACE NiagaraAX Install and Startup Guide.

Following this, the subordinate station is now ready for export tag configuration, as described in the rest of this document.

Before starting, it is recommended you read NiagaraAX Export Tag Concepts for an overview. That section is followed by more detailed conceptual and reference information.

Basic procedures for immediately using export tags are in the next sections.
