The following default settings are in effect for a factory-shipped JACE-NXT:
As factory-shipped on any JACE-NXT, the default Windows Firewall settings may also require adjustment, depending on its intended
Niagara configuration. These topics are briefly covered in this document. For related details, see the section JACE-NXT Windows XPE security.
When shipped, a new JACE-NXT controller with NiagaraAX has the following TCP/IP settings for its two Ethernet ports:
-
Primary (left) port 1:
192.168.1.19n(static IP) with subnet mask:255.255.255.0where the last numeral (
n) matches the last numeral in the JACE’s serial number -
Secondary (right) port 2: enabled for DHCP in the Windows OS.
Typical usage of the secondary port is for isolating a “driver’s” Ethernet traffic from the primary port. Or, only for occasional
use by a directly-attached service notebook to access the unit.
The primary factory-assigned IP address should also be listed on the packing slip that accompanied the JACE. You change these IP network settings during your startup commissioning of the JACE.
When shipped, the JACE’s platform daemon is configured to listen on HTTP port 3011. Often, this is left at default. However, if a different port is needed for a platform connection (perhaps for firewall reasons), you can change this during the commissioning of the JACE.
If changing from the default port (3011) for the platform daemon, you will also need to change the corresponding Windows Firewall
exception (named “admin”) on the JACE-NXT, in order to allow access. For related details, see HTTP Port.
A JACE-NXT controller is shipped using “basic platform authentication,” meaning by native Windows OS user accounts, with a default Windows administrator user with credentials:
Username: tridium Password: niagara
Password is case-sensitive, however, a Windows username is not.
Initially, you use these default credentials to open (login) a platform connection to the JACE. Like the factory-assigned IP address, default credentials are intended to be temporary. During your startup configuration, you should change these credentials to be something unique, and guard them closely.
You can also add additional Windows users, assign/modify privileges, or change Niagara platform access to use “digest authentication”
(a single non-Windows user, as for any QNX-based JACE).
