Running Install AWS MQTT Device task

This task installs an MQTT device on each remote station, which will automatically onboard itself with the Supervisor’s Signing Service, obtain a signed certificate, and connect to AWS.
Prerequisites:
  • You have an active NiagaraNetwork connection to each station on your Supervisor.
  • Each station has a reciprocal connection back to the Supervisor.
  • You have completed the previous steps to configure the AwsService and SigningService

Perform the following steps:
  1. Navigate to your NiagaraNetwork and double-click ProvisioningNwExt.
  2. Optionally, you can add the provisioning step Setup Reciprocal Connection to create the required connection back to the Supervisor if the stations do not have this already.
  3. Add the provisioning step Install AWS MQTT Device.

    The Install AWS MQTT Device windows opens.
  4. Fill in the following details in the window:
    1. Name of the MQTT device. It will be uniform on each station.
    2. Name of the Supervisor that contains the Signing Service.
    3. Your AWS MQTT endpoint. If you have run the JITP setup, this will be pre-populated.
    4. The password to use when storing your signed device certificate.
    5. A comment, which will appear in the Signing Service against each device’s CSR.
