How to set a node_id for a node

[rayraysayshi]

I am trying to specify a node id on my server but don't understand the structure that I am supposed to follow. I followed the seemingly simple structure to change the node ID and didn't receive errors or warnings. I was successful in creating the nodes as seen below but not creating a node_id. I thought to add a simple node id I would follow the same structure and add the lines with $$$$ in them;

Hi Rayraysayshi,

the code base you are using is NOT from Unified Automation and does not belong to any of our products. You have used code from an Open Source community project, which is far away from being ready to use and which is far away from being in any way usable for professional product or component development. That code covers only a fraction of the overall OPC UA functionality and by this should not even be used for evaluation, as you may get a wrong impression of the UA technology in general. Of course we can not and will not support this codebbase, especially not within this forum.

We strongly recommend using one of our Toolkits/SDK, which are fully functional and which are the only professionally supported code base:
