Reviewing and finishing the Commissioning Wizard

The final step in the Commissioning Wizard provides a summary of all the actions to be performed by the wizard.
  1. Read through the summary of changes, using the scroll bar to see those steps near the end.
    • If no change is needed, click Finish to initiate the rest of the Commissioning Wizard.
    • If any change is needed, click the Back button until the step dialog appears, then make the change. Then, click the Next button until this review dialog appears again.
  2. While the wizard is working, progress updates are posted in a “Completing Commissioning” dialog. When completed, the wizard reboots the Edge device, and a “Close” button is available.

    Do not remove power from the controller during this reboot, which may take up to 7 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 (for details refer to the “System Shell” section in this guide).

    Note that firmware upgrades occur before the platform daemon starts in the Edge device. Therefore, it is safe to interrupt power any time after you can re-open a platform connection to the device.

  3. Click the Close button to exit the wizard.

    When the Edge device reboots, your platform connection to it closes. Notice that in the Nav tree, the platform instance for that device is now dimmed.

  4. Assuming that you changed the Edge device’s IP address in commissioning, right-click and close that platform instance in the Nav Tree, as this would make that connection instance invalid.

    If you did not change its IP address, after several minutes you should be able to double-click the platform instance again to reconnect.

 NOTE: Going forward, you must access the Edge device by its new (assigned) IP address. Note that your Workbench keeps a history of TCP/IP changes made.

Also, you must use the credentials for the new platform user you created (to replace the factory-default platform user), or if you created additional platform users, credentials for one of them.

If you changed your PC’s IP address in order to commission the Edge device, you usually need to reconfigure your PC’s TCP/IP settings back to appropriate settings (now) to communicate with it. Otherwise, you will be unable to connect to it for other commissioning.
