  • You have an open connection to a Supervisor station via Workbench or a browser.

  • You set up the system database on the Supervisor station.

  • You enabled the Import Virtual Px Files On Demand property in the Virtual Policies on the NiagaraNetwork.

  • You have existing components, such as devices, with Px graphics on the subordinate stations in your NiagaraNetwork.

  • You have successfully indexed subordinate stations in your NiagaraNetwork, and virtuals must be enabled and set up properly for user permissions, etc.
