Factory-shipped state - Start-up

The controller is configured at the factory with an IP address, HTTP port and platform credentials.

When shipped, a new controller is pre-configured with an IPv4 address in the range: 192.168.1.140 with a primary LAN1 port. Its LAN2 port is disabled. The unit’s default subnet mask is: 255.255.255.0. You change these IPv4 network settings during your startup commissioning of the controller.

When shipped, the controller’s, 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, perhaps for firewall reasons, you can change this during the commissioning of the controller.

Controllers are shipped with default platform daemon (administrator) username, password, and passphrase credentials. Following are the default credentials.

Initially, you use the factory default credentials to open (to log in) a platform connection to the controller. Like the factory-assigned IP address, default credentials are temporary. During your startup commissioning, you must replace this platform admin account with at least one different platform admin user. Be sure to guard the credentials for the platform user. NOTICE! This step is essential. The Niagara 4 Commissioning Wizard does not allow you to commission and startup a controller while retaining the factory platform user.
