Independently verifying an oBIX server
If your installation is licensed for operation as an oBIX server, the station can expose components and histories accessible
to oBIX clients with access corresponding to the login credentials used for the connection. This includes allowing operation
(op) writes on component actions. This procedure uses a web browser to verify that a host is operating as an oBIX server.
Prerequisites: You know the server lobby’s URI, as well as its login credentials (if needed).
R2 integration does not support
Perform the following steps:
- Open a browser and enter the following in the
Addressproperty: http://[host][:port]/obixwhere [host] is the IP address or hostname of the server, and [:port] is optional (if omitted, the Framework assumes it to be port 80).The station prompts you for a valid station user login, however, other oBIX servers may allow access without authentication.
NOTE: - Enter the station credentials and click OK.You should see an HTML representation of the station’s oBIX Lobby including hyperlinks to traverse the object tree structure.
