NOTE: Starting in
Niagara 4.2, the JACE-8000 can be converted (downgraded) to run
AX-3.8U1–with some feature limitations. For example, for any JACE-8000 running
AX the WiFi functionality is not supported. In this configuration the WiFi switch position on the device is not monitored. Other
unsupported features are IEEE 802.1X wired authentication and USB backup/restore.
When switching modes, always move the switch to “Off” (center), then wait for the WiFi subsystem to shutdown (less than one
minute). Once WiFi is stopped, the JACE can be switched to another mode.
NOTE: You can switch modes without first opening the platform configuration view, provided you have already configured WiFi for
the JACE. For example, if you want to turn the WiFi Access Point on or off, you might walk up to the unit and change the switch position
without opening the platform configuration view.
