Status LED
The green Status LED is located to the right of the
heartbeat (BEAT) LED. This LED provides a central
processing unit (CPU) machine status check, and remains
lit whenever the FX30E/FX60E is powered. If the Status
LED does not light while power is applied, contact your
technical support representative for assistance.
Serial Port LEDs
LEDs for the two serial ports are located on the
FX30E/FX60E’s bottom board on the opposite side of the
RS-232 and RS-485 ports (Figure 7). Labels
COM1
and
COM2
correspond to the software configuration of the
COM ports. LEDs show, transmit, and receive activity for
the serial ports and optional modem.
Note:
You must remove the cover to see the serial port
LEDs. See
Removing and Replacing the Cover
.
•
The yellow Transmit LED indicates that the
FX30E/FX60E is sending data out the serial port over
a communications line to a connected device.
•
The green Receive LED indicates that the
FX30E/FX60E is receiving data from a connected
device.
These LEDs are driven by pulse detectors that provide
a fixed on-time sequence when data is detected on the
port. If the receive LED is on constantly, a problem with
the communications channel may be present, such as a
shorted wire or reversed wiring.

Software Installation
As shipped from the factory, the FX30E/FX60E is
preconfigured with a Niagara build, a license, and
Johnson Controls
®
specific Java
®
Archive (JAR) files.
With these components in place, you only need to change
login credentials and IP settings (per network
requirements) when setting up the FX30E/FX60E. This
section provides step-by-step instructions for these tasks.
To set up an FX30E/FX60E (and to upgrade to a newer
Niagara build at a later date), use the Commissioning
Wizard in the Platform/Platform Administration view.
Note:
If you plan to update the JAR files with patches
at a later date, use the Driver Upgrade Tool
Commissioning Wizard or Software Manager in
the Platform view. If you are changing login
credentials, use the Change Remote Login
Credentials menu item.
Preparing for Setup
Providing Power and Connectivity
Perform the initial startup of an FX30E/FX60E in your
office before physically mounting it in place at a job site.
After you complete the commissioning process, mount
and wire the FX30E/FX60E at the job site, making
permanent mounting and wiring connections.
For this initial Ethernet connection, you can use one of
the following:
•
a crossover cable connected directly between your
computer and the FX30E/FX60E
•
a standard Local Area Network (LAN) connection in
which your computer and the FX30E/FX60E are
physically connected to the same Ethernet hub or
switch
IP Address
When shipped, a new FX30E/FX60E Series controller is
pre-configured with an IP address of 192.168.1.149 and
a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
1. Use the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
Network Connections
utility on your workstation to configure your
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP settings with
an IP address of 192.168.1.100 and subnet mask of
255.255.255.0.
2. Make an Ethernet connection to the FX30E/FX60E.
3. Run the FX Workbench application.
4. On the File Menu, click Open Remote Station.
a. Enter the Remote Site Address (
192.168.1.149
),
Remote Platform User Name (
jci
), and Remote
Password (
explorer
). Click OK.
b. When the Authentication dialog box appears, enter
the Station User Name (
admin
), and password
(
FacilityExplorer61
). Click OK.
At this point you are prompted to choose a strong
password. A strong password consists of at least eight
characters with at least one numeric and one
alpha-numeric character. Be sure to guard and
remember this password.
Note:
Starting in Release 6.1, a blank (empty)
password is not allowed. Further, if the
UserService is configured for strong
passwords (property Require Strong
Passwords)–now the default–the password
must be a minimum of eight characters, with
at least one being a numeral (0-9) or any other
special character, such as !, @, #, $, or %.
