ncsID: Character name for the NCS unique within a particular installation. In our example it is OCTOPUS2.

To establish a bridge between Octopus and RealityHub, you must activate ZD Plugin.
To do that:
In your device settings:
Select Plugins
Click the Edit button
As soon as you click on the Edit button, the Plugin definition window pops up as shown above.
In the Plugin configuration window, fill in the areas shown in the image above and proceed to the Implementation property phase.
The Plugin URL needs to be set in the Octopus Implementation field to connect the plugin to RealityHub.
The URL also contains parameters to make sure that your system is ready to function within the intended system environment.
To copy the generic Plugin URL:
Go to Main Menu > Configuration > MOS Module > Configuration.
Click on the Copy MOS Plug-in URL button as illustrated above.
You may need to add or change various parameters in the URL depending on your NCS installation.
The final URL will be like this:
http://172.16.0.12/?modules=hub.mos_gateway&mode=mosplugin&ncsID=OCTOPUS&progid=zdmosdev&mosID=zdmosdev&version=2.8&ncstype=OCTOPUS
