Note:
As an alternative to re-assigning your PC's IP address, you can do one of the following:
Obtain a USB-to-Ethernet network adapter (second network interface card, or NIC), and use it with an Ethernet
•
crossover cable to commission MS-E10 devices. In this case, configure this second NIC to use the settings in the
remainder of this step.
Use a serial shell mode connection to the MS-E10 device to re-assign its factory IP address settings. After making this
•
change and rebooting the device, you can continue commissioning using Workbench. This requires a USB-to-
MicroUSB adapter cable, VCP driver, and a special power-up mode for the MS-E10 device.
VCP (Virtual COM Port) drivers cause a USB device to appear as an additional COM port available to the PC. Using
•
terminal emulation software, such as PuTTY or ClearTerminal, the PC can access the USB device in the same way as
it would access a standard COM port. VCP driver downloads are available at www.ftdichip.com and other sites.
For this initial connection to a factory-shipped MS-E10 device, configure your PC's NIC to use an IP address in the same subnet
as the MS-E10 device, as well as a matching subnet mask.
Set the IP address in the range: 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254
with a subnet mask of: 255.255.0.0
Note:
Do not assign your PC the identical IP address as the MS-E10 device's factory-assigned IP address.
Step 7: From your PC, start Workbench. The Nav tree should be visible in the side bar area (left pane). If not, from the
menu bar, select Window→Side Bars→ Nav.
Opening a platform connection to the device
Once the MS-E10 device has powered up, connect to it with Workbench. A platform connection to any MS-E10 device is
required for most host-level operations. This includes installing Niagara 4.7 core software and modules and performing various
other platform tasks.
Step 1: From the menu bar, select File→Open→ Open Platform.
The Open Platform dialog box appears.
Step 2: Complete the fields in the Open Platform dialog box as follows:
Type — Select Platform Connection, if not already selected.
•
Note:
By default, Workbench prompts for a Platform TLS Connection.
Host — Leave at default IP, and type in the IP address of the new MS-E10 device.
•
Port — Leave at default 5011.
•
Credentials, which may be:
•
Username — Type in default username, for example: tridium
o
Password — Type in default password, for example: controls
o
