MultiSITE Edge 10 (MS-E10) security considerations
•
MultiSITE E10 controllers are shipped from the factory with Niagara 4.7 software to run a platform daemon, along with a Tridium
certificate, and a default Niagara station pre-installed.
Use the Niagara 4.7 Workbench to establish a platform connection to the MS-E10 device and commission it to install the
selected modules, licenses, and to perform other platform configuration. Some important related tasks include setting the
controller's:
IP network address, and related IP networking parameters
•
Platform daemon user(s), for platform login
•
Time and date (or simply sync with your PC's time): To do this, use the platform Commissioning Wizard.
•
Note:
The Commissioning Wizard is the only way to install the needed core software in the controller. Most steps in the
•
Commissioning Wizard are also available as separate platform views. For example, there is a Software Manager,
License Manager, and many others. Using these views individually may be useful after commissioning the device.
For more details see the Niagara Platform Guide. Always use the Commissioning Wizard to commission a new MS-
•
E10 device for Niagara, as well as to upgrade any controller from one Niagara point release to another. Make sure
that a license file is available.
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.
Factory-shipped state
The factory-shipped state of the MS-E10 device has the following default settings for IP address, HTTPS port and Platform
credentials.
Ethernet connectors
Two RJ-45 10/100Mb Ethernet connectors are labeled PRI for primary and SEC for secondary. Use a standard Ethernet patch
cable to an Ethernet switch. These ports are suitable for daisy-chaining MS-E10 devices or for connection to either a JACE-8000
or directly to a network.
The MS-E10 device ships in daisy chain mode. When in daisy chain mode the PRI/SEC labels are inconsequential.
HTTPS port for platform access
There is no unsecure platform connection, only HTTPS secure connection is allowed.
When shipped, the MS-E10 platform daemon is configured to listen on HTTPS port 5011. Often this is left at default. However, if
a different port is needed for a platform connection (possibly for firewall reasons), you can change this via the commissioning
process.
Due to our policy of continuous product innovation, some specifications may change without notification.
