The normal mode of operation of most OPC servers is non-interactive. That is, while the OPC server is running, there is usually no human user operating it. Still, there are some useful user interface features related to the OPC server development provided by the OPC Wizard.

Administration User Interface

If you are developing an OPC UA server for Windows, OPC Wizard offers a ready-made dialog for the administration of the server, and you can integrate it dialog into your application. For more information, see Administer OPC UA Application Dialog.

Unsolicited User Interaction

In some OPC UA servers, certain situations that arise during OPC UA server operations might be best resolved by a human user. OPC Wizard can, for example, prompt the user when there is a problem with validating client OPC UA instance certificate, and ask for consent with trusting it anyway. Such prompts can be turned by the developer on or off. For more information, see Unsolicited User Interaction.

In OPC Wizard, the Console Interaction Provider is disabled by default, because unless extra measures are taken, it can cause conflict with other input made on the console. You can enable the Console Interaction Provider explicitly.
