CHAPTER 4 PLATFORM SERVICES (STATION)
AND ADMINISTRATION
Topics covered in this chapter
•
•
PlatformServices items of interest for device commissioning
•
•
Controller-specific PlatformServices properties
A few platform configuration items in the MS-E10 device are not directly accessible in the Workbench platform connection to that
controller—that is, via the Commissioning Wizard or any of the platform views. Instead, you must have a station installed and
running on the controller (any station).
Then using Workbench, open a (Fox) connection to that station, and configure these platform-related items by accessing
services under the station’s PlatformServices container.
About Platform Services
Under its Services container, every station has a PlatformServices container.
In Niagara 4.8 and later, there is added support for the IEEE 802.1X wired authentication standard for JACE-8000 and MS-E10
platforms. For more details, see the Niagara IEEE 802.1X Configuration Guide.
Figure 27: Example device station’s PlatformServices
PlatformServices is different from all other components in a station in the following ways:
•
It acts as the station interface to specifics about the host platform (whether MS-E10
device or a PC).
•
It is built dynamically at station runtime—you do not see PlatformServices in an offline station.
•
Any changes you make to PlatformServices or its child services are not stored in the station database. Instead,
changes are stored in other files on the host platform, such as its
platform.bog
file.
Note:
Do not attempt to edit
platform.bog
directly; always use PlatformServices’ views.
Included services are a TcpIpService and LicenseService, providing station (Fox) access to dialogs used in platform views, for
instance the TCP/IP Configuration. These services support installations where all configuration must be possible using only a
browser connection (and not Workbench connected to the MS-E10 device’s platform daemon).
