Wiresheet.ai

Getting started

What a station needs, and the two ways Wiresheet.ai reaches one.

Wiresheet.ai opens a Niagara station in your browser: its tree, its wire sheets, its property sheets and managers, its graphics, and an agent that proposes changes for you to apply. A station is ready for it after four steps.

  1. 1Module

    wiresheetAi on the station, WiresheetService in Services

  2. 2Account

    A station user on HTTPBasicScheme

  3. 3Station link

    The extension in Chrome, the station added to it

  4. 4Workspace

    Open the station at app.wiresheet.ai

The four steps. The first two are done once per station, in Workbench; the last two in Chrome.

What you need

  • A Wiresheet.ai account. Every new account is looked at before it can be used.
  • A Niagara 4 station, 4.12 or later: a JACE, a Supervisor or a Workstation. The Downloads page says what each build needs.
  • Workbench, with an account on the station that may install modules and add users.
  • Google Chrome on a computer that can reach the station.

Installing a module restarts the station

Plan the install for a time the building can spare it, and on a live site only with its owner's agreement.

Two ways to reach a station

Most JACEs are not on the internet, and should not be. So the usual way in is the station link, a Chrome extension: the page at app.wiresheet.ai asks, and your own browser, on the building's network, makes the call. The station's address and password stay in the extension and are never sent to us.

A station our server can reach itself, over the internet or a VPN, can instead be paired: you give its address and account once, and the password is kept on our server, encrypted.

Through your browser: the station link

app.wiresheet.ai

Names the station and what to ask. Never its address or password.

in the same Chrome

Station link extension

Holds the address and the password, on your machine.

JACE or Supervisor

Runs the wiresheetAi module. Needs no internet.

From our server: pairing

A station our server reaches

A public address or a tunnel. Runs the module.

The station link is the usual way: the call is made from a machine on the station's own network. Pairing is for a station our server can reach.

Where to start

Begin with Install the module. If the station already has the wiresheetAi module and a station account, go straight to Install the station link.
