Connected in Workbench

When connected, the tunneled platform shows a different platform icon, along with either the target IP address or hostname (or station name if using “Only Tunnel Known Stations”). See Figure C.6.

Once connected, you can perform all the same platform operations as if directly platform connected to the endpoint JACE, including running the Commissioning Wizard. See platform views.

Note if a Workbench connection to the remote Supervisor (either station or platform) is already open, you can right-click on the host in the Nav tree, and select Open Platform. Then choose “Tunnel (IP)” from the Host field drop-down control, as shown in Figure C.6

Enter values the same way as previously described (see Open Platform dialog if tunneling).

NoteHost menu choices “Open Tunnel Platform” and “Open Tunnel Station” were removed in Workbench 3.7 and later. Now you must specifiy the tunnel option in the Host field of the Connect dialog, as shown above.
