Starting the Commissioning Wizard - Start-up

This topic explains the steps involved in running the Commissioning Wizard configure a host that runs the stations.

• Prerequisites: You are using Workbench and have opened a platform connection to the controller.

1. To open the Commissioning Wizard, do one of the following. (a) In the Nav tree, right-click Platform→Commissioning Wizard. (b) In the Nav tree, expand Platform→Platform Administration and click Commissioning. The Commissioning window opens.

• The screen capture shows the default selections for a new controller. By default, few steps are pre- selected. Steps are executed in the order listed in the wizard. NOTICE! If the Workbench FIPS property Show FIPS Options is set to true certain FIPS options become visible in this window. If selected, the framework enforces FIPS-strength password requirements.

2. Select Check All or Clear All to include or omit steps and select Next to continue. For a new controller, you typically accept all default selections.

• During the license install step, the wizard checks to see if a default certificate is installed. This certificate is required by any Niagara host to verify the license file. If other licenses are installed, additional certificates may also be required.

• 

3. Select Install these certificates and click Next.

• The Licensing step opens.

NOTICE! For license files validated against the Tridium certificate, installation can be automated from Workbench. All such purchased licenses, including controller, Supervisor and Workstation-only, are stored and available to Workbench through the licensing server.

NOTICE! If your PC currently has Internet connectivity while running a platform connection to any Niagara host, Workbench provides an install option to get and install the licenses for the host from the license server. When selected, Workbench silently searches the license server for a license with a matching Host ID of the target platform. When found, it selects the license(s) and advances to the next wizard step.
