The Commissioning Wizard performs most platform configuration tasks. After running the wizard, you may review and change configuration options using the Platform Administration view.
Prerequisites:
- The SLX controller is already commissioned using the Commissioning Wizard. You have admin rights to configure the platform.
- You have admin rights to configure the platform.
- Using Workbench, open a platform connection to the SLX controller. Use the platform credentials you specified when creating a platform user while commissioning the controller.
- Right-click Platform, double-click Platform Administration and enter your platform credentials.
- The Platform Administration view opens.
- Click one of the buttons.
- Included in this view are commands and related windows in which you can:
- Set the date and time in the controller.
- Change the HTTP port used by the controller for the platform daemon (platform server). The default port is 3011.
- Change TLS settings used by the controller for secure platformssl access, including configured state, platformssl port (HTTPS Port), PKI certificate, and TLS protocol. The default port is 5011. Refer to the Niagara Station Security Guide for complete details.
- Enable or disable SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) and SSH (Secure Shell) access to the SLX controller. By default, such access is disabled, where both protocols use TCP port 22.
CAUTION
Security Risk with SFTP & SSH access enablement
Although SFTP and SSH are more secure than FTP and Telnet access, enabling still poses security risks. We strongly recommend you keep this access disabled, unless otherwise directed by Systems Engineering. Upon completion of any use, such access should be disabled once again.
- View daemon output and change logging levels.
- Enable debug access for temporary browser access to platform daemon diagnostic tools
- Perform other platform tasks initially performed with the Commissioning Wizard, such as modifying platform admin users (User Accounts), configuring runtime profiles… ect.
