FactoryTalk Security).
3. Enter IP address of the FactoryTalk Directory server.
4. Enter the IP address of a Secondary Server.
5. Click [Save].
The module will automatically reboot, and the IP address will be verified to
determine that it is a valid FactoryTalk Directory computer.
Registering the Module in FactoryTalk
Directory
You can register the FactoryTalk Historian ME module in the FactoryTalk Directory
using the FactoryTalk Administration Console. To register the module, you must
create an initial server connection.
Only Native mode or FactoryTalk Security mode can be active at any one time. If you
change the security mode from Native to FactoryTalk Security, the Native security mode
will not authenticate. Only FTUsers can use FactoryTalk Security.
The FactoryTalk Directory computer must have both FactoryTalk Services Platform
installed and Internet Information Service (IIS) configured. In addition, you must install
FactoryTalk Web Services to authenticate the security calls from the module. Be sure to
install FactoryTalk Security web services during your FactoryTalk Services Platform
installation.
