obixDriver-ObixNetwork

This component represents a tree of oBIX clients and ancillary objects, and is the top-level component for the oBIX driverin a station. This network object is a Framework convention, and has no physical correspondence to any oBIX system.

The Obix Client Manager is the default view of the ObixNetwork.

Property	Value	Description
Status	read-only	Reports the condition of the entity or process at last polling. `{ok}` indicates that the component is licensed and polling successfully. `{down}` indicates that the last check was unsuccessful, perhaps because of an incorrect property, or possibly loss of network connection. `{disabled}` indicates that the `Enable` property is set to `false`. `{fault}` indicates another problem. Refer to `Fault Cause` for more information.
Enabled	`true` (default) or `false`	Activates (`true`) and deactivates (`false`) use of the object (network, device, point, component, table, schedule, descriptor, etc.). If `true` (the default), remote oBIX clients can access the lobby of the station following login using station user credentials (provided that the host platform’s license has export=”true” attribute in theobixDriver feature line). If `false`, remote oBIX clients cannot access the station’s lobby. The server returns HTTP error code 410 for all requests. NOTE: If enabled, but not licensed for obixDriver export (status is fault), the server returns HTTP error code 500 to all oBIX client requests.
Fault Cause	read-only	Indicates the reason why a system object (network, device, component, extension, etc.) is not working (in fault). This property is empty unless a fault exists.
Monitor	additional properties	Configures a network's ping mechanism, which verifies network health. This includes verifying the health of all connected objects (typically, devices) by pinging each device at a repeated interval. The Niagara Drivers Guide documents these properties. The ObixNetwork’s monitor properties verify child client component(s), which are the devices in the oBIX driver that are able to receive a ping.
Thread Pool	additional property	Serves as a container for the `Max Threads` property.
Server	additional properties	Identifies a frozen container slot under the ObixNetwork.
Exports	no properties	Serves as a folder for data exports.
History Policies	additional properties	This extension serves as a container for the poll scheduler and default configuration rules.
Obix Client	additional properties	Represents client access to an Obix Network(server) device.
