The following list includes syntax examples to illustrate different ways to use fox tunneling:
Starting in NiagaraAX-3.4, you can use the “Only Tunnel Known Stations” property to restrict tunneling to only stations that
are under the proxy server’s NiagaraNetwork. When this option is used, the required syntax for the targeted host includes
“station name” instead of IP address.
Example 1. Example 1 - Simple tunnel
-
ip:137.19.60.184│fox:/137.19.61.192
This example ORD specifies the following network actions:
-
Establish a connection to the tunneling Proxy server at the IP address 137.19.60.184 using default fox port 1911 (since no port specified).
-
Establish a fox connection to the targeted host at 137.19.61.192 using default port 1911 (since no port is specified).
-
Using the “Only Tunnel Known Stations” option, the syntax is as follows for this example:
ip:137.19.60.184│fox:/myStation
Example 2. Example 2 - Tunnel specifying fox port and target view
ip:137.19.60.184│fox:1912/137.19.61.192│station:│slot:/AirHandler
This example ORD specifies the following network actions:
-
Establish a connection to the tunneling Proxy server at IP address 137.19.60.184 using the proxy server fox port 1912.
-
The proxy server establishes a fox connection to the tunneled host at 137.19.61.192 using the targeted host default fox port 1911.
-
Display the view defined by the rest of the ORD (station:│slot:/AirHandler)
Example 3. Example 3 - Multiple tunnelling specifying target view
ip:137.19.60.184│fox:/137.19.61.242/137.19.60.119│station:│slot:/Services/AlarmService/ConsoleRecipient
This example ORD specifies the following network actions:
-
Establish a connection to the tunneling Proxy server at the IP address 137.19.60.184 using default fox port 1911.
-
Proxy server establishes a fox connection to the host at 137.19.61.242 again using default fox port 1911.
-
Tunnel through the intermediate host at 137.19.61.242 and connect to the host at 137.19.60.119 using default fox port 1911.
-
Display the view (alarm console) defined by the rest of the ORD (station:│slot:/Services/AlarmService/ConsoleRecipient)
Note the following additional information about the examples described, above.
-
When doing multiple tunnels, as in the example above, each "parent" tunnel must be a NiagaraAX-3.3 Supervisor station running with tunneling enabled. The final targeted host requires NiagaraAX-3.3 but does not need to be an AXSupervisor station.
-
Instead of typing a long ORD, as in Examples 2 and 3, it may be easier to simply establish a connection at the station level and then use the nav tree to open the view you want.
