CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW
Topics covered in thischapter
•Factory-shipped state
•Initial IP address
•
IO Points
•MultiSITE Edge 10 (MS-E10) security considerations
MultiSITE E10
controllersare shippedfrom the factory with Niagara 4.7 softwareto 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 networkingparameters
•
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 thedevice.
•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.

Software
The MS-E10 device ships with Niagara 4.7 and the drivers for BACnet, Modbus and SNMP. Note that it is the recommended
security best practice to update to the latest software release.
Default platform daemon credentials
MS-E10 devices are shipped with default platform daemon (administrator) username and password credentials. The default
credentials are:
• Username: tridium
• Password: niagara
Initially, you use the factory default credentials to open (login) a platform connection to the MS-E10 device. Default credentials
are temporary. During your startup commissioning, you must replace the default platform admin account with at least one
different platform admin user.
Note:
For security reasons, be sure to guard the credentials for such platform users closely.
Default system passphrase
In addition to the default platform daemon (administrator) credentials, MS-E10 devices are shipped with a default system
passphrase. The default passphrase is:
• Passphrase: niagara
Default station details
The E10 device also ships with a default NiagaraStation pre-installed. By default, the network configuration for the station is set
to the daisy chain mode. The default station name is a combination of the controller model and the unique hostid. For example,
Edge10_3F88_5ACB_C28A.
The default station includes the EdgeIoNetwork already installed to access the physical I/Os. The default station credentials are:
• Username: admin
• Password: Admin12345
Note:
You are required to enter new credentials on the initial login.
Initial IP address
Previous controllers shipped with a static IP address. To facilitate bulk deployment, MS-E10 devices are shipped with a one-time
feature enabled that allows the controller to initially attempt to connect to a DHCP server.
Upon first startup, when IP connectivity is detected, the MS-E10 initially requests an IP address via DHCP. If a DHCP address is
not found, the controller reverts to a static IP address based on its serial number. See the following section for examples.
This feature only applies during the first power up cycle with an active Ethernet connection. At all other times the network
settings are set or modified the same as on the JACE-8000.
Note that for this onetime feature to execute, there must be an active Ethernet connection. A flag is maintained that enables this
feature. This feature will execute once and then the flag will be disabled.
During a factory restore the flag enabling this is reset to enabled.

Fallback Static IP
Thefallback static IP is built using the last four digits of the devices serial number. Route and subnet mask are set appropriately.
Static IP: 192.168.1xx.xx where xx.xx are numbers lifted from the serial number, as shown in the following two
examples.
For serial number : 010106 the resulting IP is: 192.168.101.06
For serial number: 106 the resulting IP is: 192.168.101.06
Route : 192.168.1.1
The default subnet mask is:255.255.0.0
Summary
The following behaviors apply to the factory state:
1. MS-E10 device power ups with no Ethernet cable connected.
a. Maintains the factory shippedstate
2. MS-E10 device power ups with the Ethernet cable connected and DHCP server on the network .
a. The device obtains an IP address from the DHCP server
b. Fallback mechanism is disabled
3. MS-E10 device power ups with Ethernet cable connected and no DHCP server or DHCP fails.
a. Apply fallback staticIP
b. Fallback mechanism disabled
IO Points
The MultiSITE E10 device is designed with a mix of IO points: 5 universal inputs, 2 analog outputs and 3 digital outputs.
For more details on physical connection of IO points see the “Inputs” section of the Edge 10 Mounting and Wiring Guide.
Usage details
The EdgeIo driver provides proxy points to access these points.
To use the EdgeIo driver add an EdgeIoNetwork object to the station config folder (already installed in the default station). The
EdgeIoNetwork contains a Local device with a Points folder. Invoking the Edge Io Point Manager Discover function shows a list
of available points, as shown here.

Figure 1: MS-E10 Io Point Manager view
Point Configuration
Proxy points can be configured through the Add/Edit functions in the Edge Io Point Manager. For UI points set the
Type to an AI (NumericPoint), DI (BooleanPoint) or pulse counter(pulseInput).
ForPulse Counter typeinputs, edit the proxy point to configure Calc Type , Rate Scale , Rate Interval and
Rate Windows properties.
Io Defaults Values
The AO and DO points can have a configured default value which will be applied during the devices boot sequence. This value
will be applied to points in less than 20 seconds of a reset or power cycle. This default value is stored in a writeable proxy
Fallback property. The fallback value can be set in the Edge Io Point Manager via the Add/Edit windows. Similarly, a set
operation on the proxy point will also set the fallback value.
MS-E10 security consideration s
These topics include information about security issues that are important to consider when working with the MS-E10 platform .
Note:
Protect against unauthorized access by restricting physical access to the computers and devices that manage your
building model. Set up user authentication with strong passwords, and secure components by controlling permissions.
Failure to observe these recommended precautions could expose your network systems to unauthorized access and
tampering
.
