The Commissioning Wizard displays a summary of all the actions to be performed by the wizard.

  • Prerequisite: You are stepping through the Commissioning Wizard.
  1. Read through the summary of changes, using the scroll bar to see the steps near the end. If any change is needed, click the Back button until the step window to change opens, make the change and click the Next button until this review window opens again. If no change is needed, click Finish.
  • The Commissioning Wizard commissions the controller. While the wizard works it posts progress updates in a Completing Commissioning widow. When completed, the wizard reboots the controller, and makes a Close button available.
CAUTION
Maintain Power During Reboot

Do not remove power from the controller during this reboot, which may take up to seven or more minutes to complete. Removing power could make the unit unrecoverable. If desired (and convenient), you can use a serial shell connection to the controller to monitor progress as files are installed and the unit is prepared.

  1. Note that firmware upgrades occur before the platform daemon starts in the controller. Therefore, it is safe to interrupt power any time after you can re-open a platform connection to the controller.
  1. To exit the wizard, click the Close button.
  1. When the controller reboots, your platform connection to it closes.
NOTICE! In the Nav tree, the platform instance for that SLX is now dimmed.
  1. Assuming that you changed the SLX’s IP address during commissioning, right-click and close that platform instance, as this would make that connection instance invalid.
  1. If you did not change its IP address, after several minutes you should be able to double-click the platform instance again to reconnect. Otherwise, open a platform connection using the controller’s new (changed) IP address. Going forward, you must access the controller by its new (assigned) IP address. Workbench keeps a history of TCP/IP changes made. Use the credentials for the new platform user you created to replace the factory-default platform user, or if you created additional platform users, log in with the credentials you created for one of them.
  1. If you changed your PC’s IP address to commission the controller, be sure to reconfigure your PC’s TCP/IP settings back to appropriate settings to communicate with it. Otherwise, you will be unable to connect to the PC to commission another controller.
  • You have successfully commissioned your SLX 9000 controller.
