Register the Historian ME module in the FactoryTalk Administration Console

If you want to add your Historian ME module to the FactoryTalk Directory, you need to register it in the FactoryTalk Administration Console.
To register the Historian ME module in the FactoryTalk Administration Console
  1. Go to
    Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk Administration Console
    .
    The
    FactoryTalk Administration Console
     window appears.
  2. In the
    Select FactoryTalk Directory
     dialog box, click
    Network
    , and then click
    OK
    .
    TIP:
    FactoryTalk Historian ME and FactoryTalk Historian SE support only the
    Network
    option in the FactoryTalk Directory.
  3. In the
    Explorer
     pane, expand
    System > Connections
    .
  4. Right-click
    Historical Data ME
    , and then click
    New Historian ME Server Connection
    .
    The
    Historian ME Server
     dialog box appears.
  5. In the
    Name
     text box, type a name for the new server connection.
    We suggest that you match the server connection name to your module name. The server connection name must begin with a letter or a number and contain only letters, numbers, underscores, and spaces.
  6. Under
    Server or Collective Name
    , do either of the following:
    • Select your FactoryTalk Historian ME IP address from the list.
    • Type a new server name or IP address.
  7. Click
    Test Server Connection
    .
    You should receive a
    Server found
     message. If you do not receive this message within a few minutes, the module may still be restarting. Wait a few more minutes, verify the server name or IP address, and try again.
  8. Click
    OK
    .
    After the module is registered with the FactoryTalk Directory, its name appears under
    Historical Data ME
     in the
    Explorer
    pane.
