Add station connection

This window adds a discovered station connection to the client station’s NiagaraNetwork.

Once the client station successfully connects to the remote, server station for the first time, the system creates a reciprocal, disabled server NiagaraStation under the NiagaraNetwork of the remote station.

To open this window, expand Config > Drivers, double-click the NiagaraNetwork, click Discover, select one or more stations and click Add.

When working in a client station (usually a Supervisor station) that is configured for provisioning, the last four properties in the Add window specify the platform daemon credentials and the port for the selected platform. The provisioning code uses this information to connect to the remote controller platform for the purpose of running provisioning jobs.

This user should be unique for each project. The password should be strong.
