Starting the Commissioning Wizard

The Commissioning Wizard runs a series of steps to guide you through all the needed information.

Prerequisites:

The major software version level of the remote host controller to be commissioned must match that of the Workbench version that you use. For example, you can commission a Niagara 4 controller only with the Niagara 4.x Workbench, and commission a NiagaraAX-3.x controller only with the AX-3.x Workbench.
Your PC has internet access

Using Workbench on your PC, make a platform connection to the remote host.
The Platform home window opens.
In the Nav tree, right-click Platform > Commissioning Wizard.
The Commissioning for “<IP address>” window opens for the remote controller, which it identifies by the controller's IP address.
By default, all steps are preselected except Install lexicons to support additional languages (for file-based lexicons). Steps are executed in the order listed in this Commissioning window.

NOTE: In Niagara 4.6 and later, if the Workbench FIPS Option to Show FIPS Options is set to “true” certain FIPS options become visible in this window. If selected, FIPS-strength password requirements are enforced.
As needed, click to include or omit steps and click Next.
For a new controllers, you typically accept all default selections.

The Licensing step opens.

Install/upgrade core software from distribution files — Preselected and read-only for any new unit.
Sync with my local system date and time — Preselected in most cases (new controller for example, where controller time may greatly differ from actual time).
Configure TCP/IP network settings — Recommended.
Remove platform default user account — Preselected and read-only for a new unit. You cannot commission a unit with the factory default platform admin user.
Configure additional platform daemon users — Recommended option if you require additional platform admin user accounts, with unique user names and passwords (all have full equal priviliges).
