fox-FoxSession

This component represents the Workbench (client) session to a station running on a Niagara host (server), using a Fox connection on a particular port—in other words, a station connection.

You see this as an expandable icon in the Nav tree, followed by the station’s (name), for any station opened in the Workbench. To open this view, double-click the Station node in the Nav tree. There is no Property Sheet view for the fox-ForSession (station) component.

A secure Fox station connection (SSL or TLS) is also possible from Workbench, in which case the station connection icon shows a small padlock.

Also, Workbench provides a right-click Session Info command on any active station connection, which produces a popup dialog with details on the current Fox station connection. This is in addition to other right-click commands previously available, such as Disconnect, Close, Spy, Save Station, Backup Station, and so on.
