Setting up a single device using Commissioning

These instructions assume that you have a PC running a licensed copy of Niagara 4.7 Workbench or later, installed with the “installation tool” option. That option copies distribution files needed for commissioning various models of controllers. This PC is referred to as “your PC.”
 NOTE: Your PC must meet minimum hardware/operating system requirements for the Workbench workstation. This includes a working Ethernet adapter with TCP/IP support (browser capable). An Ethernet TCP/IP connection to the Edge device is required to install Niagara software and establish other parameters. 

For this initial Ethernet connection, you can use either of the following:

  • An Ethernet patch cable connected directly between your PC and the Edge device (if your PC Ethernet port is not “auto-sensing”, you will need an Ethernet crossover cable)
     NOTE: If in daisy chain mode connect both the PC and the Edge devices to a switch. 
  • A normal LAN connection, meaning that both your PC and the Edge device are physically connected to the same Ethernet hub or switch.
