10.2.1 OPC UA configuration
The OPC UA Server can be configured either using the Web interface or
directly via a JSON Object sent in an HTTP request. For more information
OPC UA configuration - Quick start guide
on page 108.
The configuration URL is:
http://[ip-address]/w/config/opcua.json
The configuration can also read back as a JSON file:
http://[ip-address]/r/config/opcua.json
The configuration is a JSON object. Each member is a configuration element.
The object must not contain all elements. Only the provided elements will be
changed. All configuration changed applies only after a device restart.
