Properties of a Platform Connection provisioning extension are described as follows:
Status — Current status of extension, where value is ok, disabled, or fault.
The platform connection will be in fault if any of the following occurs:
Supervisor has no ProvisioningNwExt under its NiagaraNetwork (e.g., it has been deleted).
Supervisor is not licensed for provisioning.
NiagaraStation is in fault.
The station’s platform daemon rejects the platform connection’s credentials.
The extension will be disabled if the ProvisioningNwExt is disabled.
Fault Cause — If in fault, gives brief text explanation.
Port — Port on which the platform daemon in the station’s host (JACE) is listening, where the default port for “regular” (non-SSL) platform daemon is 3011. (Shows as “Platform Port” in the Add or Edit dialog when working in the Station Manager view, see New station notes).
If this port was changed in commissioning, you must match it here. Or, if a AX-3.7 or later host configured for platform SSL access (Secure platform), change to match that port, where the default secure platform port is 5011 (also subject to change in commissioning).
Credentials — Credentials used for a platform connection to the JACE running the station, where you enter a Username and Password.
(Credentials show as “Platform User” and “Platform Password” in the Add or Edit dialog when working in the Station Manager view, see New station notes).
Secure — (AX-3.7 and later) Boolean property to specify if a secure (platform SSL) connection should be used to the host (JACE), where the default is false. (Shows as “Secure Platform” in the Add or Edit dialog in the Station Manager view, see New station notes).
If set to true, the Port property must be changed from its default value—typically to port 5011 (“standard”) or whatever port was specified in the host’s (JACE’s) commissioning.
Health — Contains information about the success or failure of the last pings, and is similar to the standard “Health” slot in most driver networks.
Alarm Source Info — Specifies how and if alarms are to be generated as a result of ping monitor failures, similar to the standard “Alarm Source Info” slot in most driver networks.
