In most cases, you perform the initial
Niagara 4 software installation and startup of the JACE (as described in this document) in your office, before physically mounting it in place at a job site. Please refer to the
“Wiring Details” section of the appropriate JACE-xxx Mounting and Wiring Instructions document for details on making (temporary) power wiring and Ethernet wiring connections.
CAUTION: The JACE-8000 is not compatible with a Power-Over-Ethernet (POE) network. Connecting the JACE on a network segment which carries power causes the unit to fail (lockup). In that event, you must disconnect it from the
POE network segment and cycle power to the unit.
The remainder of this document assumes that you have the JACE nearby, and are able to power it on and off as needed. After you complete the commissioning process described in this document,
you can mount and wire the JACE controller at the job site, making permanent mounting and wiring connections.
