Adding the ProvisioningNwExt

The ProvisioningNwExt (Provisioning Network Extension) sets up the jobs to run on the remote stations.

The Supervisor PC has been licensed for provisioning and has the required modules installed.
  1. If it is not already open, in Workbench, open the Supervisor station.
  2. Open the provisioningNiagara palette in the Workbench palette side bar.
  3. Under the station’s Config space, expand its NiagaraNetwork.
  4. If a ProvisioningNwExt is already a child of the network, verify that it is enabled (status ok) and skip ahead to the next procedure.
  5. From the palette, drag the ProvisioningNwExt to the station’s NiagaraNetwork. In the popup Name window, you can rename the ProvisioningNwExt—or, use the default name and click OK.

You now have a ProvisioningNwExt (or whatever you named it), under your NiagaraNetwork. When you add this extension to a Supervisor station, every existing remote station under the network automatically receives five new device extensions. As you add more NiagaraStations to your network, they too have these extensions.
