AX station engineering summary

Add an ObixNetwork in the AX Supervisor’s Drivers container, either using the New command in the Driver Manager view, or by opening the obixDriver palette and copying/dragging the network. Then, under this network you manually add one R2ObixClient device component for each R2 host (station) to be included.

Once you configure an R2ObixClient with a few settings, it can connect (attach) to the host R2 oBIX server. Then you can “learn” an object space tree for that station, which has an expandable root node named the “lobby” (an oBIX term). The root lobby node appears in the Discovered pane of the manager view for each of the device’s extensions, notably Points, Alarms, Histories, and Schedules (all default device extensions).
