Specifying a station database to install
If you have a specific station database ready to install in the MultiSITE VM3, you can specify it at this step in the wizard. Or, accept the de-
fault “(Don’t transfer a station)” and click Next. You can create a station later using the New Station Wizard, and install it using the platform’s
Station Copier. Or you can simply select an existing station to install using the Station Copier.
At the Station Installation step, do the following:
1. Click the Station drop-down control and click the name of a station database on your PC. The station sub folders are listed under your
MultiSITE Supervisor User Home.
2. If you select a station the following additional options are available, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 12: Commissioning Wizard.
New Name
• Either leave at same station name as local copy, or type in a new station name.
• If the passphrase for the local copy of the station is different from the remote host’s system passphrase, you are prompted to enter the
local copy’s passphrase. If there is no passphrase mismatch, you are not prompted to enter one.
START AFTER INSTALL
If enabled (the default), and a reboot is not included at the end of commissioning, when commissioning completes the station is restarted,
In cases where commissioning ends in a reboot, such as if commissioning a new MultiSITE VM3 (installing core software) and/or changing
TCP/IP settings, the next “AUTO-START” setting determines if the installed station is started following the reboot.
In Niagara 4, it is possible to start or restart a station without rebooting the host MultiSITE VM3 controller.
AUTO-START
If enabled (the default), the station starts every time the MultiSITE VM3 is rebooted. This is recommended.
In some commissioning scenarios, you may wish to disable (clear) both “Start” options when installing a station, especially if commissioning
ends in a reboot. This way the software modules needed by the station will be installed (along with all station files), but the station will be
“idle”.
In this case, to start the station you must reopen a platform connection to the MultiSITE VM3 following the reboot, starting the (now idle)
station from the Application Director view. This allows you to see all standard output messages from the station, as it transitions from “idle” to
“starting” to “started”.
If doing this, in the Application Director be sure to enable “AUTO-START” on the selected station. Otherwise, it will remain “idle” after the next
controller reboot.
