Connecting the Service

To connect the KMC Commander Gateway Service in Niagara to the KMC Commander Project Cloud, do the following:

  1. Double-click KMC Commander Gateway Service, which opens its Setup view in a tab to the right.

    Note: From the Workbench Nav side bar, locate KMC Commander Gateway Service under the station's Services node.

  2. Click Setup Commander Cloud Connection, which opens a Commander Login window.

  3. Enter your KMC Commander Project Cloud account Username (email) and Password.

  4. Change the automatically populated Commander Network Name as needed, or leave it as is.

    Note: This is the name for the station as it will display in the KMC Commander web application. It can also be modified later within that application.

  5. Click Connect.

    Note: If connection succeeds, Status will show "Connected" and License will change from "Login to select" to the KMC Commander license and project, or a dropdown list of licenses and projects if more than one is assigned to this account.

  6. Select the correct license and project from the License dropdown list (if more than one is assigned to this account).

    Note: The displayed format is "License Name -- Project Name". The names are set in the KMC Commander (Cloud) System Administration. See Accessing System Administration.

  7. Click OK, which saves the selection and closes the window.

    Note: In the KMC Commander Gateway Service Setup view, below Commander Connection Details, Status changes to "Registered", and live Latency and Last Tx (last transmission [by service to the cloud] time) information displays.

    Note: To update the License and Project Name information (below Commander Project Cloud License Details), click the Workbench Refresh button.

Once connected, the JACE is automatically added in KMC Commander's Networks Explorer. Proceed with setting up the JACE in KMC Commander by Logging Into the Project Cloud, then Discovering Devices.
