Viewing reachable stations using Spy Remote

As of Niagara 4.13, by using the Spy Remote view, you can use programmatic calls to display and update reachable stations for your entire NiagaraNetwork and details about system indexing operations.

Prerequisites:

You have an open connection to a Supervisor station (via Workbench or browser)
The Supervisor station has established connections to subordinate stations in the NiagaraNetwork.
You are connected to the Supervisor as a superuser to access any remote spy page.
The Supervisor and mid-tier stations are upgraded to Niagara 4.13 or later and have enabled virtuals along reachable station routes.

The Spy Remote view identifies the stations that are reachable through subordinate stations.

Perform the following steps:

To find reachable stations, right-click any component in the station from Workbench and select Views > Spy Remote.
On the Web browser view that opens, select the Remote Station tab and click niagaraNetwork > reachableStations.
You can choose if you want to view reachable stations with or without forcing an update of routes.
The resulting routing table displays the stations that are found and the routes to reach them.
NOTE: If there are multiple routes to a station, the smallest number of hops to reach the station takes preference. If the number of hops are identical, the fastest route is favored.

Invoking the call to find reachable stations and to force update routes may create reachable station entries on demand in the corresponding Reachable Stations container components back in the station (see Viewing reachable stations).
