CommScope Redwood version 3.2 - Manual (Page 4)

Commissioning and Administration User Guide 1
Introduction
Before you can begin using the Redwood Systems Building and Lighting Platform, you must
commission the light Fixtures and Switches. Commissioning is performed after the physical
infrastructure is installed. The Redwood Manager makes it easy to step through the process.
As an administrator, in addition to commissioning, you can manage and control the Redwood
System lights. You can temporarily override Policies, create Scenes to adjust the lighting for
specific situations, generate reports, perform diagnostics, and monitor usage.
Redwood Director and Redwood Engines
The Redwood Director and Redwood Engine run the embedded Redwood Manager software
used in the commissioning process and administrative maintenance.
The Redwood Engine powers and communicates with Redwood Gateways, Sensors and Wall
Switches, ultimately controlling the light Fixtures. The Redwood Director is an appliance that
provides unified management, control, and reporting on a Cluster of Redwood Engines. The
Director communicates with and manages the Redwood Engines. The Director can only
control Engines running the same Redwood Manager software version and connected to the
same Cluster (see “Redwood Networking Guide”).
Accessing the Redwood Manager Admin Console
You can access the Redwood Application Launch Page by connecting to the Redwood
Cluster (Director or Engines) through a web browser from a computer that is connected to the
same network as the Redwood platform. If you do not have the web address and login
credentials, contact your IT department, Facility Manager, or Lighting Administrator. The
address can be set up as either a DNS entry, such as https://buidling_lighting/, or a standard
IP address, like https://173.255.244.27/.
Accessing the platform requires a username and password. The default username is admin,
and the password is redwood. You can change the password after you log in for the first time.
After logging in, click on the “Manager” tile to open the application.
Navigating the Tabs of Redwood Manager
Once you have logged into the Redwood Manger you will arrive on the Dashboard. There are
six distinct tabs that will allow you to commission and administer the system. These tabs are
defined in the following sections.
