When shipped, a new JACE controller is pre-configured with an IP address (IPv4) in the range:
-
JACE-3E, JACE-6E, JACE-2/6 series:
192.168.1.12n(primary “LAN1” port; the “LAN2” port is disabled). This also applies to the JACE-x02 Express (M2M JACE) or a JACE-603 or JACE-645. -
JACE-7 series:
192.168.1.12n(primary “LAN1” port; the “LAN2” port is disabled). -
JACE-4/5 series:
192.168.1.14n(only a single LAN port available on these JACEs)
where the last numeral (n) in the IP address matches the last numeral in the JACE’s serial number.
In all cases, the default subnet mask is: 255.255.255.0
You change these IPv4 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.
Any JACE controller is shipped with default platform daemon (administrator) credentials, for example:
Username: tridium Password: niagara
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 commissioning, you should change these credentials to be something unique, and guard them closely.
When commissioning a new JACE, you should always change platform credentials from defaults! Note that the Commissioning Wizard incudes a step for this (“Platform daemon authentication”), which you should not omit. A JACE installed with default platform credentials is extremely susceptible to unauthorized intrusion!
Note that any AX-3.8 JACE operating with factory default platform credentials shows warnings in several views when platform connected with AX-3.8 Workbench. For details, see “Improvements to AX-3.8 digest authentication” in the latest Platform Guide.
