Use the Obix Client Manager to add, edit, and access Obix device components (ObixClients and R2ObixClients). The Obix Client Manager is the default view of an ObixNetwork. For general information, see “About the Device Manager” in the Drivers Guide.
Unlike in some other drivers, there is no “learn” mode (with “Discovered” pane). Instead, you use the button to add devices.
Added devices appear in the Database table. For details specific to an Niagara R2 to AX application, see the “ObixNetwork and R2ObixClient devices” section in the engineering notes document Niagara R2 to NiagaraAX via oBIX.
By default, the following columns appear in the Discovered table of the ObixClientManager view:
-
Name
Name of the device-level component for (client) interface to the oBIX server.
-
Lobby
URI to root of the server’s object tree, using format:
http://<hostName or IP address>/obix -
Enabled

-
Exts
