For Windows 8.1 and higher, these instructions should be followed.

 

Note on the channel editor:

Individual objects can be selected and subscribed to using the + icon. If all nodes are to be subscribed to, the "Import selected sub-nodes" function must be selected. The client uses the timestamp to compare the values in order to avoid duplicate values.
