Nexus RF integration

Nexus RF integration

Overview

The Nexus RF extension periodically collects data from a Nexus RF database and maps it to the item tree. The data exchange is uni-directional: data is only read from but never written to the database.

Installation

The Nexus RF extension is provided as an extension and is not included within the default setup.

In order to install the Nexus RF extension open the Core Studio and shutdown the Core Server. Then start the Extension Manager via the menu Extensions > Manager > Start Extension Manager ....

In the Extension Manager select "NexusRf" and click the Install button. After having installed the Nexus RF extension, close the Core studio and reopen it. Within the Core Studio you will find a new menu Nexus RF. It contains all the means of configuration needed for the extension.

Configuration

Within this configuration file the connections settings for the Nexus RF extension are configured.
