Limitations to commissioning operations

Workbench running on a PC configured for N4 does not support the commissioning of AX platforms. Instead, you must use the appropriate software, say AX-3.8, from which to run the Commissioning Wizard on the older platforms.

If needed, however, you can use Workbench to perform some platform operations on AX controllers. Examples include modifying TCP/IP configuration and installing AX software modules. The latter requires you to import the software database of a recent ( AX-3.8) Supervisor or engineering workstation into your Niagara 4 software database.

Other platform views and operations that are unavailable include:

  • DDNS Configuration
  • GPRS Modem Configuration
  • WiFi Configuration (for JACE-700 with installed WiFi option)
  • Also unavailable are following operations from the Platform Administration view:
    • Update Authentication
    • FTP/Telnet
    • Set Module Filter

Use the appropriate version of Workbench to perform such all platform configuration.
