With a Site Edition network distributed application in demo mode, you can:
 Create or load up to five HMI servers locally in FactoryTalk View Studio.
 Create or load up to five graphic displays per HMI server.
 Run a local FactoryTalk View SE Client for up to two hours. Remote clients cannot
connect to an application in demo mode.
 Import only the first graphic in each category from Symbol Factory. Symbol Factory
is a graphics library with over 5,000 quality graphic images.
Step 6: Set up the FactoryTalk Directory
The FactoryTalk Directory centralizes access to resources and components, such as
graphic displays and tags, for all FactoryTalk products participating in a control system.
There are two types of FactoryTalk Directory:
 Local Directory manages applications that are confined to a single computer, for
example, FactoryTalk View SE local station applications.
 Network Directory manages applications that can consist of multiple clients and
servers on separate computers connected over a network, for example, FactoryTalk
View SE network distributed and network station applications.
Both directories are configured on the computer, when you install the FactoryTalk
Services Platform. To use the Local Directory as part of a local application, no further
setup is required.
To use the Network Directory as part of a network application, you must set up all
participating computers to point at the same Network Directory computer. For more
information, see Chapter 4, Setting up the FactoryTalk Directory.
