In the discovered pane of the Obix Point Manager, expand the root “lobby” to see the tree organization, as shown below. Items of practical interest for proxy points are under the “config” branch.

Figure 18.   Top-level lobby structure in R2 station

Expand the “config” branch of the lobby to find proxy point candidates. The config hierarchy reflects the R2 station’s object hierarchy, including a row for each object property, and expandable rows for child objects. The highest-level config node is the Station object. So when you first expand config, at the top are the properties found on the various tabs of the property sheet for the Station (when using the R2 JDE).

 NOTE: As needed, click on column headers in the Discovered pane to sort as ascending  or descending , in ASCII character order. For example, if you have the Obix Name column sorted ascending, when you expand items containers will be at top, and properties at bottom, as shown.

Figure ?.   Use column header sorts and expand containers as needed to find R2 objects and properties

R2 container objects appear in the discovered lobby as expandable gray rows (Figure 2-11), which you can add as Obix Point Folders by double-clicking. See “About Discover “Include” options” on page 2-10.

 

Typical expandable target containers contain R2 “shadow objects” or related objects in the R2 station—often the same objects that are linked to R2 Gx objects in GxPages for real-time values and commands.
