When you connect the controller for the first time, you first need to commission the controller. The commission-
ing of the controller loads drivers, configures password protection, installs the controller’s license, sets up plat-
form users, configures TCP/IP, and installs software modules. The Commissioning Wizard works for
commissioning a new controller or upgrading an existing controller.
Commissioning steps include:
• Request or install software licenses—preselected for any new controller.
• Set enabled runtime profiles—preselected and read-only for any new unit.
• Install a station from the local computer—recommended. Optionally, you can install station(s) at a later time.
• Install lexicons to support additional languages—option to install file-based lexicon sets (alternative to lexi-
con modules). Typically, you leave this cleared—lexicon modules are required in EC-Net 4.
• Install/upgrade modules—always preselected when you run the wizard. Used to select the software mod-
ules, and optionally any lexicon modules.
• 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 EC-BOS 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 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 privileges).
Starting the Commissioning Wizard
This topic explains how to run the Commissioning Wizard using series of steps to configuring a host to run
the stations.
Prerequisites: You are using EC-Net 4 Pro and have opened a platform connection to the controller.
Step 1 To open the Commissioning Wizard, do one of the following.
• In the Nav tree, right-click Platform→Commissioning Wizard.
• In the Nav tree, expand Platform→Platform Administration and click Commissioning.
The Commissioning window opens.
