The Join Profile Manager is a view on the SubordinateExportTagNetworkExt in the NiagaraNetwork of a JACE station. To view, right-click this extension and select ->, or simply double-click the SubordinateExportTagNetworkExt.
By using the
button at the bottom of this view (with the Supervisor station) selected, the join automatically completes with an ending
popup Job Log dialog. From this view you can also select and edit the JoinProfile for the Supervisor. A few columns in this view correspond to JobProfile properties, with the ones shown by default summarized
below. For details, see Join Profile Manager.
Station Name
An entry for the Supervisor is required, and it should be the only one enabled.
Last Join
Timestamp of the last join for this subordinate station.
Station Display Name
(usage optional) Shows any entered station “display name” in the JobProfile. This is used for this subordinate station as it appears in the Supervisor’s NiagaraNetwork, instead of the actual
Default Subordinate User
(usage optional) Shows the JobProfile’s station user property value, utilized for a Fox client connection from the Supervisor. This is necessary only if the subordinate (JACE) was not previously set up in the Supervisor’s NiagaraNetwork.
Default Subordinate User Password
This is an added property in AX-3.7u1 and later. The local (JACE) station user password to be used by the Supervisor to connect back to this station. If the subordinate station includes component tags added to program objects which are also enabled, both the service account (used for subordinate to supervisor communication) and the user invoking the Join job require "super user" permissions. Like the other “Default” properties in this dialog, it may be left blank if the Supervisor already has a configured NiagaraStation for this station.
You must configure the Default Subordinate User Password when pre-engineering a subordinate station to join to a Supervisor.
Failure to configure the password will result in authentication errors when the
Supervisor attempts to make a connection to this subordinate JACE (that the Supervisor is not already “aware” of).
Station File
Shows the file ord to the local “profile.bog file”, used to model how the NiagaraStation for this subordinate JACE is represented in the Supervisor’s NiagaraNetwork.
