Server Search

2 min

Note: The Server Search option is available for Belden Horizon Data Operations version 3.5.2 and later.

The Server Search option allows you to do a search of available tags for your device and then add those tags to the DeviceHub device.

Notes:

Not all devices have the capability to do a server search. Available devices display an eye icon in the connected DeviceHub device tile.
To use Server Search, you must know the tag names you want to add to your DeviceHub device and search for them before adding them. To view all available tags for a device before adding them, you can use Browse Tags instead.

To use the server search:

From the Tags pane, click the Add icon, and then select Server Search. The Server Search dialog box appears.
