The Select Local or Remote OPC Server page of the Discovery Agent Selection Wizard is where you choose whether to access an OPC server on the local machine or on a remote machine. If you choose to use a remote OPC server, you can enter the name of the computer or its TCP/IP address, or you can browse your network for the machine that has the OPC server you want to use.
If you select or enter a remote machine name, the machine name is validated when you attempt to go to the next page in the wizard. If the remote machine name is not valid, the following message displays:
The Remote Machine Name is not available. Please select or enter a different Machine Name.
You must then select or enter a valid machine name to continue.
IMPORTANT: You must have Administrative rights on the remote machine you are accessing to be able to access the remote registry.
Click Next to go to the Select an OPC Data Access Server page or click Back to return to the Select a Discovery Agent page.
NOTE: Click the Back button at any time to make changes to your selections.
