niagaraDriver-NiagaraStation

This component models a remote station in a Supervisor station.

While the connection may use Fox (not secure), a NiagaraStation with a padlock icon models a remote station via a secure TLS Foxs connection. This is the recommended connection.

Each NiagaraStation contains the standard set of device extensions. In addition it contains:

Users device extension. For more information, refer to the niagaraDriver-NiagaraUserDeviceExt topic.
Virtuals (gateway) slot, and an associated Virtuals Enabled property.
