Factory-shipped state

The factory-shipped state of the Edge device has the following default settings for IP address, HTTPS port and Platform credentials.

Ethernet connectors

Two RJ-45 10/100Mb Ethernet connectors are labeled PRI for primary and SEC for secondary. Use a standard Ethernet patch cable to an Ethernet switch. These ports are suitable for daisy-chaining Edge devices or for connection to either a JACE-8000 or directly to a network.

The Edge device ships in daisy chain mode. When in daisy chain mode the PRI/SEC labels are inconsequential.

HTTPS port for platform access

There is no unsecure platform connection, only HTTPS secure connection is allowed.

When shipped, the Edge platform daemon is configured to listen on HTTPS port 5011. Often this is left at default. However, if a different port is needed for a platform connection (possibly for firewall reasons), you can change this via the commissioning process.

Software

The Edge device ships with Niagara 4.7 and the drivers for BACnet, Modbus and SNMP.

 NOTE: It is the recommended security best practice to update to the latest software release. 

Default platform daemon credentials

Edge devices are shipped with default platform daemon (administrator) username and password credentials. The default credentials are:

  • Username: tridium
  • Password: niagara

Initially, you use the factory default credentials to open (login) a platform connection to the Edge device. Default credentials are temporary. During your startup commissioning, you must replace the default platform admin account with at least one different platform admin user.

 NOTE: For security reasons, be sure to guard the credentials for such platform users closely. 

Default system passphrase

In addition to the default platform daemon (administrator) credentials. Edge devices are shipped with a default system passphrase The default passphrase is:

  • Passphrase: niagara

Default station details

The Edge device also ships with a default NiagaraStation pre-installed. By default, the network configuration for the station is set to the daisy chain mode. The default station name is a combination of the controller model and the unique hostid. For example, Edge10_3F88_5ACB_C28A.

The default station includes the EdgeIoNetwork already installed to access the phyiscal I/Os.

The default station credentials are:

  • Username: admin
  • Password: Admin12345
 NOTE: You are required to enter new credentials on the initial login.
