Adding ObixClient devices

After adding an ObixNetwork, you can use the network’s default Client Manager view to add the appropriate ObixClient and/or R2ObixClient devices. An ObixClient actually represents an oBIX server and associated Framework components represent client devices because the Framework uses a client connection to retrieve data.
  1. In the Nav tree or in the Driver Manager view, double-click the ObixNetwork.
    The device manager (Obix Client Manager) opens.
  2. Click the New button.
    The New device window opens.

  3. Select the number to add: 1 (or more, if multiple) and click OK.
    This opens the window to name the device(s).
  4. Enter the Lobby URI, as well as the credentials needed for authentication (user name and password), and click OK.
    The Framework adds the client device(s) to the database. You should see the device(s) listed in the Client Manager view with a State of Detached that changes to Attaching and then to Attached.
  5. If a device appears down with a state of Detached, double-click it in the Client Manager view and review the syntax of the Lobby URI and credentials.
  6. After making any device changes, click Save, then right-click the device and select Actions > Ping.
    The device should report Attached.
