Sedona TXS 1.1
New Features and Benefits
February, 2012

Sedona Framework - Introduction
• The Sedona Framework™ is the industry's first
open source development framework. It brings
the power of programmable control and the
Internet down to extremely inexpensive devices.
• The Sedona Framework allows manufacturers to
easily and quickly build their own device to
internet applications that integrate seamlessly
with NiagaraAX rather than having to build their
own applications or use the complex and difficult
embedded programming tools that exist today.
• Sedona TXS 1.1 offers several new features to
make deploying Sedona devices easier for
system integrators.

Migrating Sedona 1.0 to 1.1
• NiagaraAX 3.4 and 3.5 stations containing Sedona Networks
are not compatible with NiagaraAX 3.6.
• To upgrade existing NiagaraAX 3.4 or 3.5 stations with
Sedona networks to NiagaraAX 3.6 or later, the existing
Sedona networks must be updated using the NiagaraAX
Station Migration Tool.
• Stations with a single type of Sedona device (Jennic
Wireless, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi) can be migrated following the
instructions for the Station Migration Tool.
• If multiple types of Sedona devices exist on a station, the
existing station must be duplicated and edited so that each
station copy contains only one type of Sedona device in
order to use the Station Migration Tool. The tool can then be
used to migrate all station copies. The user will then need to
manually copy networks from the multiple migrated stations
into one station. The alternative is to manually rebuild the
multiple networks in a new station.
• The appropriate Sedona driver(s) must be purchased for
NiagaraAX 3.6 or later stations.
Migration Steps
1.
2.
3.
Copy the station database (config.bog) from the AX-3.5 (or
earlier) JACE, and paste it into the station’s folder in the AX-3.6
(or later) Workbench enabled for Sedona Framework TXS-1.1.
From that Workbench computer, open a Niagara console window.
For example, from Windows: Start > All Programs > Niagara AX
3.6.n > Console Or, from the normal Workbench menu: Window >
Console
Enter the following command:
nre sedonanet:com.tridium.sedonanet.migrate.MigrateBog [path\to\config.bog]
From the default Niagara console prompt, the following command
is entered:
nre sedonanet:com.tridium.sedonanet.migrate.MigrateBog stations\SedJenTest\config.bog.
4.
5.
The command executes and the new migrated config.bog file will
be in the same location.The original config.bog file is renamed
“preMigrate_config.bog”, and is also in the same location.
After migrating the station, run the platform Commissioning
Wizard) to upgrade the station to AX 3.6, and select the “Install
Station” step to reinstall the converted station.
Refer to the NiagaraAX Station Migration Tool Engineering Notes for Details
