In the Gateway Web page:

1. Go to Configure-\> Tags → Realtime.
2. Click on “Create new Realtime Tag Provider”.
3. Check “Tag Driving Provider” → Next
4. Scroll down, under “Remote OPC Browsing” there is a checkbox for “Enable browsing”.

If you just want to expose the tags already configured, there’s a different check box for that:

Configure → OPC-UA Server → Settings → Expose Tag Providers.
