Configuring platform port and credentials

Provisioning requires a connection to each remote platform/station. For each NiagaraStation in the client station’s NiagaraNetwork, you must confirm the port and enter the corresponding platform daemon credentials of its host. The simplest way to do this is by using either the Station Manager or Provisioning Manager views.

1. In the Nav tree, expand Config > Drivers, right-click NiagaraNetwork and select Views > Provisioning Manager.
   The Provisioning Manager opens.
   
   

   Each row in the table represents a connection to a remote server platform/station.

2. Select one or more (a group) of stations and click Edit.
   The system opens an Edit window.
   
   
3. Enter platform connection credentials, and, if using a non-default port address, change the port from the default port 5011 to the port number used and click OK.
   These platform credentials and port should be the same credentials and port you use when you open a platform connection directly to each remote host.
   Upon the next monitor ping of the host’s platform daemon, its Station Run State should change from Unknown to Running and the station’s Platform Connection extension should now have a status of ok.
4. To confirm the platform connection immediately, right-click the station’s Platform Connection extension and click Action > Ping.
5. Confirm that the station, as shown in the Provisioning Manager, has a platform status of ok.
6. To test the validity of the credentials, right-click the station row and click Action > Ping.
