The goal of this process is to have the
Niagara Enterprise Security
N4Supervisor connect, join, and replicate with a subordinate JACE-6 controller that is running
Niagara Enterprise Security 2.3. After you complete this procedure, the remote controller is connected and communicating with the
Supervisor station as a subordinate. With this relationship and communication established, you can join and replicate using the same
procedures that describe those tasks for JACE-8000 security controllers. Refer to Station join best practices and Joining a controller station to the
Supervisor station topics for details. Also, refer to Wire compatibility for details about communication and feature support between the two versions of
Niagara.
To establish communication (connect) between the
Niagara Enterprise Security 4.8
Supervisor station and a legacy
NiagaraAX JACE-6 controller station, you need to use both
Workbench and a browser to configure the following:
- Prepare the
Niagara Enterprise Security 4.8
Supervisor station (add a user, configure WebService and FoxService).
- Discover and add the remote
NiagaraAX controller station to the
Supervisor station database.
- Establish an authenticated user connection from the remote
NiagaraAX controller station to the
Niagara Enterprise Security 4.8
Supervisor station.
- Create the proper
Supervisor – subordinate relationship between the two controller stations.
Each of these procedures are detailed in specific tasks that follow.
