Creating a Supervisor station

To create a Supervisor station you use a station-create wizard within Workbench.

Prerequisites: You are working in Workbench running on a PC.

Click Tools > New Station.
The New Station Wizard opens.
Enter a Station Name, select NewEntSecSupervisorStationTemplate.ntpl and click Next.
The Next button remains disabled until you give the station a name. This name is usually a technical name to identify the station. Later you can use the Network TCP/IP Settings view to give the station a friendly Station Display Name.

The window for configuring the station password opens.
Click Set Password, create a strong password, click OK
Select copy it to secure platform for “localhost” with Station Copier, and click Finish.
The wizard creates and copies the Supervisor station and displays Transferring station “[Station Name]” with two start-up options. These options configure when the station starts. When installing new software or upgrading existing software the recommendation is to leave these options enabled. Otherwise you must start the station in the Application Director before you can connect to it.
To continue with the transfer, click Next, followed by clicking Finish.
The wizard asks if you want to open the Application Director.
Click Yes and confirm that the station you created is running.
