For station-to-station connections, you can configure the use of Fox over WebSocket in the NiagaraStations of the NiagaraNetwork.
- Under , the following configuration options are available:
- Fox Over WebSocket: From the drop-down menu, select Use WebSocket if Fox or Foxs fails (default) if you prefer fox or foxs as configured by the existing properties, but want to allow foxwss to be used as a fall-through if the fox/foxs attempt initially fails. You can also select Use WebSocket Only or WebSocket Disabled. For more information, see "fox-FoxClientConnection" in the Niagara Drivers Guide.
- Fox Over WebSocket Port: Define the port to use for foxwss connections. This
should be the HTTPS port used by the remote station. For more information, see "fox-FoxClientConnection" in the Niagara Drivers Guide.
- Fox Over WebSocket in Use: This is a read-only value that indicates whether the last
successful connection used foxwss or not. This helps determine when the
fall-through occurs. For more information, see "fox-FoxClientConnection" in the Niagara Drivers Guide.
- To configure the fall-through connection attempt to foxwss,
for any other code running on the station that makes a client connection to another station (outside of NiagaraNetwork), navigate to the root
station's Config property sheet and open the
window.
You can add facets to specify which port to use for the foxwss
fall-through attempts of such connections, and you can also decide whether the fall-through foxwss
attempt should be enabled or disabled for those station-to-station connections.
