Gateway Network - Accessing Device Through Remote Gateway

I have set up a gateway to gateway connection through the Gateway Network and have access to its tag providers, however i am interested in knowing if i am able to directly access this devices that the remote gateway is connected to.

For example, the remote gateway has a PLC that is browsing tag data from. In my local gateway i want to be able to directly access that device to browse my own tag data. Is this possible or do i only have access to the tags that the remote gateway has already established?

Via the GAN, only the tags exposed via a remote tag provider are accessible. You may be able to make an OPC connection outside the GAN if you configure the target gateway to expose its OPC server.

Are you able to refer me or explain how I can change target gateway to expose its OPC server?

Thanks for the reply.

Start here:

( I pretty much never do this, so I have no further instructions to share. But, there are many topics here on the forum about this. )
