Invariably, you perform the initial Niagara software installation and startup of a JACE (as described in this document) in your office, before physically mounting it in place at a job site. Please refer to JACE-NXT Mounting & Wiring Guide for details on making (temporary) power wiring and Ethernet wiring connections.

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.
