Niagara N4.15 does not support JACE 8000 WiFi radio

Issue JACE 8000 WiFi radio Product Line  TAC IA Series Environment I/A Series N4 Jace 8000 I/A Series N4.15 Software Cause Niagara Framework, Niagara 4.15, includes an update to the QNX operating system that no longer supports the WiFi chipset in the JACE 8000. Resolution Customers who have deployed JACE 8000 devices with the WiFi connectivity option will not be able to activate or configure the WiFi radio under Niagara 4.15.  Blackberry QNX has dropped support for the WiFi chipset used in the JACE 8000. This change was effective with the latest release of its QNX 7.1 Software Development Platform (SDP) in November of 2024. Niagara 4.15 includes this QNX 7.1 SDP update and will install based on the current setting of the JACE 8000 WiFi radio.   What should the Jace 8000 WiFi customer expect When upgrading a JACE 8000-WiFi unit to Niagara 4.15, switch the WiFi radio to the DISABLED setting before attempting to install. In this configuration, 4.15 will install normally. Note that after commissioning, you will no longer see the WiFi Configuration option on the platform menu, and you will not be able to connect via WiFi. Also, note that Niagara 4.15 will not install if the WiFi radio is set to ENABLED.     What to do in situations where WiFi connectivity is needed A factory reset will restore Niagara 4.9, and the JACE will regain its WiFi functionality. You can then commission the JACE 8000-WiFi unit with Niagara 4.14.

Jace 9000 Commissioning Time

Issue Extended Jace 9000 Commissioning Time. Product Line TAC IA Series Environment I/A Series Jace 9000 Cause With the release of the Jace 9000 using Ubuntu Core 20 Linux as it’s operating system the commissioning/upgrade times increase as compared to the previous Jace 8000. Initial commissioning times can take longer then 15 minutes to finish. There are scenarios where multiple reboots are needed after the initial commissioning is completed. Once the commissioning has been completed for the Jace 9000, boot times should be significantly lower. Resolution Users will need to reboot their Jace at least twice and will need to set more time aside for commissioning of the new Jace 9000s. Please allow for a minimum of 15 minutes for commissioning. If you continue to experience issues with bootup or commissioning on the Jace 9000,  please contact your country level product support. Please note that the JACE-9000 does not print a lot of output on the debug port when you cycle power so give it time to fully bootup.

Configuring Default Gateways on both Ethernet Adapters on a JACE-8000/9000

Issue Incorrect Default Gateway setting may prevent communication with the JACE-9000 Product Line TAC IA Series Environment I/A Series Jace 8000/9000 Cause The Jace8000 and Jace9000 both have primary and secondary LAN adapters. Previously, Workbench prevented users from some invalid IP configurations, but current versions of Workbench, when connecting to a 9000 will allow invalid configuration in the default gateway. Resolution In the 9000, a user can set different default gateways for the Primary (en0) and Secondary (en1) ports. This should not be allowed on a single network device, and leads to unpredictable behavior when routing. Compare the location of the IPv4 Default Gateway in the TCP/IP Configuration of the Platform on a 9000:      And the same page as seen in the 8000: In future versions, this will be changed, but users should avoid invalid configurations in the affected versions. When configuring both LAN ports for use on a 9000, only enter a value for the default gateway field in one adapter. Leave the other intentionally blank. It does not matter which is given a default gateway and which is left blank. Note: Sometimes, when an Adapter has the Default Gateway, you cannot connect to the other Adapter (despite correctly being on that Adapter's local subnet). These symptoms can be triggered by the Ethernet "link" (active connection) toggling up or down.  The link state can change whenever: the JACE is rebooted or power-cycled; and/or the Ethernet switch ("hub")  is rebooted or power-cycled; and/or the Ethernet cable(s) are un- or re-plugged (at either end). In some cases, the symptoms can alleviated by toggling the Ethernet link state, in the ways listed above.

Configuring I/A Series MNB-1000 using Cyberstation

Issue Can Cyberstation setup and configure 3rd party BACnet devices. Product Line TAC IA Series, Andover Continuum Environment Cyberstation BACnet I/A Series MNB-1000 Cause It is desirable to configure all products from the same software. Resolution Cyberstation and the BACnet protocol do not allow you to do basic setup and configuration of 3rd party devices, most products will have their own configuration software or local display/ keypads for setup. The I/A MNB-1000 BACnet controllers will require I/A Series Software to setup and configure the controllers, this can not be done through Cyberstation. Once setup and communicating Cyberstation will be able to make changes / adjustments depending upon the PIC's statement of the device.

MNB-1000 not accessible via default IP address

Issue Not able access a new MNB-1000 via its default IP address. It will not respond to when pinged. Product Line TAC IA Series Environment WorkPlace Tech all versions, WPT Version 1.50E and later Cause The ability to ping the MNB-1000 controller was removed starting in Firmware version 1.50E. All MNB-1000s are shipped with IP port disabled. Resolution Starting with firmware revision 1.50E, the ability to ping a MNB-1000 controller was removed; so any MNB-1000 controller at or above firmware Revision 1.50E will not respond to a ping. Reference Unable to ping the MNB-1000 (Plant Controller) using firmware Revision 1.50E or higher for further details. All new MNB-1000 controllers are shipped from the factory with their IP and MS/TP ports disabled. The Ethernet port is the only port enabled. The MNB-1000 controller must first be accessed via its Ethernet port. Once gaining access, its BACnet/IP port can then be enabled.  Note: Both BACnet/Ethernet and BACnet/IP ports should not be enabled at the same time. So if BACnet/IP is being used and once the BACnet/IP port is configured and enabled, then disable the Ethernet port. NOTE:  Firmware 1.537 made the MNB-1000 visible via the ping command again.

After uploading a Workplace Tech application from an MNL controller, Workplace Tech attempted to generate the application drawing, but aborted with an error message.

Issue After uploading a Workplace Tech application from an MNL controller, Workplace Tech attempted to generate the application drawing, but aborted with an error message. Product Line TAC IA Series Environment Workplace Tech Cause The issue is related to the drawing information portion of the hex file. One or more object names, entered by the user, are longer than 31 characters in length. Although the WorkPlace Tech Tool 4.0 Engineering Guide states that long object names (over 32 characters) are permitted, it seems that 31 characters is the limit with all MNL controllers. Resolution When performing the above task with Workplace Tech 4.0.4 (running on Visio 2002 sp2), the error message is: "Error code -2032465748 Code meaning: Unknown error 0x86db98acs". When performing the above task with Workplace Tech 5.6 (running on Visio 2003 sp2), the error message is: "An unknown error was encountered while the application was generating the drawing." Workplace Tech 5.7.2 works around the naming error by truncating the first long-named object to 31 characters followed by naming the remaining objects as obj1, obj2, etc. It completes the conversion without error. Use Workplace Tech 5.7.2 to generate the application and compile it. Then take the complied hex file and use it with Workplace Tech 4.0.4 to generate an application drawing.

Troubleshooting NiagaraNetwork Pending Subscribe / Unsubscribed

Issue NiagaraNetwork point subscriptions get stuck constantly reporting 'Pending Subscribe' or are 'unsubscribed'. Product Line TAC IA Series Environment I/A Series Jace (N4/AX) I/A Series Enterprise Server (Niagara Framework N4/AX) Cause Various configuration issues between the Jace and Enterprise sever. Resolution Troubleshooting 'Pending Subscribe' or 'Unsubscribed' (N4 or AX): Performing 'Manual Disconnect' on the Niagara Station 'Client connection' may clear this state. Perform 'Manual Disconnect' on each side of the Niagara Network connection between the two stations having issues. It is possible that one side of the Fox connection might show connected on the 'Client Connection' and the other side shows disconnected for the associated 'Server Connection'. The manual disconnect clears this state. Check for multiple FOX services. Typically there is only one service, though there are use cases for more than one. Sometimes the FOX service is mistakenly duplicated and both services then have the same ports, which is incorrect and causes problems. Use the ProgramService (Batch Editor) to look for 'custom object', 'fox', 'foxService'. Either delete the extra service(s) or edit the ports so to remove any conflicts. Duplicate station names can cause fox problems. Look at station 'Spy', 'fox', 'log index' to see all the fox connections. Look for duplicate station names that have different IP addresses. Duplicate station names can cause stations to keep getting disconnected as each station fights to be connected. Duplicate stations can be caused when an integrator connects their engineering laptop to a network and they have stations running on the laptop that were engineered for that job, thus resulting in more than one instance of a station running at once. In rare instances stations were installed multiple times at a site and not renamed before installation into the next platform. Fox connection getting dropped. Either network issues on the LAN or duplicate stations. Or denial of service attack on the Supervisor. Wireshark can help diagnose LAN problems or have the IT person on site look at your station IP addresses.  Try increasing the Request Timeout and the Socket Option Timeout in the Fox Service. Make Fox wait longer before timing out on messages. It is not typically needed to modify these defaults.  Regarding AX and N4 mix, make sure when an AX is connecting to an N4, the user in the N4 station, being used by the AX, must have the AXDigestScheme for the authentication scheme.  The Cipher Suite Group setting in the Fox Service must be set to 'Supported' when connecting any AX version prior to 3.8u3 (3.8.311) to an N4 station via NiagaraNetwork. Make sure Provisioning is correctly configured. If not being used, remove it. This might be an N4 only problem, but there have been instances encountered where a station that was converted from AX to N4 was having the 'Pending Subscribe' issue due to NiagaraProvisioning being only partially configured. Provisioning not correctly configured will cause the 'Pending Subscribe' problem

Niagara NTP Troubleshooting

Issue Configuring NTP and troubleshooting in the Niagara Frameworks Product Line TAC IA Series Environment I/A Series N4 Enterprise Server I/A Series N4 Jace Cause Guide to configure and test NTP server and Jace sync operations Resolution Please familiarize yourself with the official documentation of the NTP functionality. NTP and its configuration are comprehensively documented in the Niagara Platform Document. The official documentation is updated frequently and may contain information that supersedes the content of this article. Using the ntpq utility program The NTP Project maintains the NTP software that is compiled and included with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (and other most other Linux distributions). To get the software for Microsoft Windows, Meinberg ports the software and provides it. With this software, you not only get the ntpq utility program, you also can run the NTP client/server on your PC. In this way, you can use your PC as an NTP time server to your JACE. NOTE: The Client and Server (Time Only) options were added in 4.9. Using Server creates potential attack surface for 'Mode 6' queries. But to query with ntpq as described below, it must be set to Server, at least temporarily. Be advised that you should not have your JACE exposed to the Internet. Consult the Niagara Cyber Defense page for more details. Using the ntpq utility program, you can query a JACE that is configured for NTP, and get a list of the peers known to the JACE and a summary of their state. For this use the -p option, and provide the IP address to the JACE. The command will look like this: ntpq -p 192.168.1.140 The output of the command will look something like this: The ntpq man page at ntp.org fully documents the details of the table above. Only a few details will be covered here.  The row that begins with * (asterisk), has been declared the system peer. The second row begins with a space, indicating that it is an unreachable peer.  The third column is for the stratum. Stratum 0 is an actual time source, like an atomic clock, that provides time to a stratum 1 NTP server. A stratum 2 server gets its time from a stratum 1 server. A stratum 3 server gets its time from a stratum 2 server, and so on.  Reach is a circular log buffer containing a set of eight bit-flags, expressed as an octal number. Convert octal to binary to determine the reach for the last eight attempts. For example, 376 converts to 11111110, which means that we failed to reach the server the last time, but the other 7 were successful.    Using the NtpPlatformServiceQnx spy page Right-click the NtpPlatformServiceQnx and select Views > SpyRemote.         As you scroll down the first section of interest is the one that shows the NTP Configuration File. It reads what we've written to the file ntp.conf and displays it.                                          NTP Configuration File #/home/niagara/etc/ntp.conf: Niagara Network Time Protocol Configuration File #Use the NtpPlatformService UI to modify this file. #Created: 24-Sep-19 4:53 PM EDT # #Niagara NtpPlatformService variable, do not modify #ntpEnabled true #syncAtBoot true #server list server 192.168.1.2 burst prefer server 192.168.1.3 burst server 192.168.1.4 burst peer 192.168.1.5 peer 192.168.1.6 #ntp features enabled enable ntp stats #ntp panic value, if offset exceeds this, ntpd should exit (disabled if 0) tinker panic 0 #gather information about statistics statistics clockstats loopstats filegen clockstats file clockstats type none nolink enable filegen loopstats file loopstats type none nolink enable The next section of interest is for the NTP Daemon Log. You'll only see this section if Generate NTP Statistics is set to true.

After NTP has synchronized with reliable time servers for a significant amount of time, it will write the calculated drift (in PPM) to a file, such that it can initialize with this value on reboot. It will use this calculation of how far the clock drifts, to correct the clock in real-time, in increments too small for any application to detect.   NTP Daemon Drift 20.185   NTP Daemon Clock Stats is next. It reads what is in the clockstats file. In this example output, the file does not exist and the spy page tells us so.                                                     NTP Daemon Clock Stats Modified Julian Day | Secs.

Jace 9000 Missing BACnet IP Adapters

Issue The en1 network adapter is not an option for assignment when configuring an IP port Product Line TAC IA Series, EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment I/A Series N4 Jace 9000 Building Operation Multi-purpose Controller / VAV (MP-C / MP-V) Building Operation Room Controller / VAV (RP-C / RP-V) Building Operation IP-IO Cause With the switch to Linux for the Jace 9000's operating system, some functions such as sensing adapters work differently when configuring a controller station.     Resolution In N4.13, we have added a new action to find adapters when Jace's are being pre-configured offsite. Start by confirming in the TCP/IP Configuration page that the desired port is configured and enabled. Make sure that some communicating device is connected to the desired port, exhibited by the port's lights on the unit. Examples include a workbench connection, a BACnet IP device/router, or another Niagara Device. Right-click on the "Link" component under the port, and select the "Query For Adapters" option. You should now see the port in the dropdown. Note: With N4.14, using the en1 as a DHCP server is possible.  If using this with BACnet IP MP, RP or IP/IO in Space Logic controllers engineering with Niagara, this is an important consideration for network applications.
