To open a platform connection to a JACE-NXT

To open a platform connection from Workbench to the JACE-NXT, do the following:

From the menu bar, select File->Open->Open Platform.

The Open Platform dialog box appears.
Complete the fields in the Open Platform dialog box as follows:
- Host — Leave at default IP, and type in the default IP address of the new JACE.
- Port — Leave at default 3011.
- Credentials (see Platform daemon credentials), which include:
  - Username — Type in default username: tridium
  - Password — Type in default password: niagara
Click the OK button to accept all settings.

The Platform opens in the tree, and its Nav Container View displays in the view pane (Figure 1).

After you commission a JACE and it reboots, in future platform sessions you will need to login using any new (changed) parameters, such as IP address, Port, Credentials. If you changed your PC’s IP address in order to connect to the JACE’s factory-assigned IP address, you will first need to reconfigure your PC to the appropriate TCP/IP settings (to communicate to the now-commissioned JACE).
