Issue
I/A Series G3 Enterprise Network Server (ENS-1) oBix licensing
Environment
I/A Series G3 Enterprise Network Server oBix driver
Cause
Clarification on oBix licensing for the Enterprise Network Server and the use of the part numbers ENS-OBIX and ENS-OBIX-500.
Resolution
When you purchase the Enterprise Network Server (ENS-1), the license includes the oBixDriver as standard*. This oBixDriver provides oBix client / server functions for connecting to Niagara based controllers or stations. Typically, these would be I/A Series R2 UNCs or Enterprise Servers.
The ENS-OBIX is used when you need to add Obix point support connecting devices that are NOT powered by Niagara. The ENS-OBIX includes support for 500 oBix points. Additional points are purchased in blocks of 500 using the part number ENS-OBIX-500.
* Standard features in ENS-1 are email, niagaraDriver (peer to peer communications), obixDriver (oBix client / server), provisioning, web, and workbench.
