Step 7: Review and map features

    • NOTE: For IxB devices, each tool must have an integrated controller license.

Step 11: Assign licenses and features

  • Select the tool under the controller list, and select the Integrated Controller Tool tab.
  • Assign Virtual Station Types and Virtual Station Features as needed, and click OK.

Step 12: Push licenses to the tool

  • Click the Push Licenses button next to the tool, and confirm which controllers to push the data to.

  • The new features will get pushed to the tool and will be available in the tool's web browser after a restart.
