Edited for the initial NiagaraAX 3.8 release (denoted as “AX-3.8” in this document). A beginning section was edited and retitled JACE commissioning notes for AX-3.8 and AX-3.7u1, with new subsections AX-3.8 specific commissioning notes and Platform credentials notes for AX-3.8. Related to changes in AX-3.8, other document sections had new or expanded notes, including the following sections: Connect to the JACE, Start the Commissioning Wizard, and Platform daemon authentication.

Edited for the security-oriented AX-3.7 “Update 1” release (AX-3.7u1, or build 3.7.105 or later), concurrent with (and required by) the newest JACE-3E series platform. The JACE-3E controller has onboard SRAM like NPM6E-based controllers (JACE-6E, JACE-603, JACE-645), and platform commissioning for all these Hotspot JVM controllers is comparable.

Document changes include a new beginning section “JACE commissioning notes for update 1 release” on page 1-1. Another change for AX-3.7u1 and later is in the module selection for a Hotspot JVM controller being configured for SSL—modules cryptoCore and daemonCrypto are no longer selected, only platCrypto. See Select modules, including Note.

Note if upgrading a previously SSL-configured AX-3.7 Hotspot JACE to AX-3.7u1 or later, the Commissioning Wizard automatically takes care of these module location differences, by updating all modules in their proper locations, then removing the older cryptoCore and daemonCrypto modules from controller’s !modules folder.

Various other minor changes are in other sections—mostly as new or reworded “Cautions” or “Notes” relating to best security practices.

Reworked entire document to reflect NiagaraAX-3.7 changes to Workbench platform tools, including the platform Commissioning Wizard. Therefore, this is now a “versioned” document that applies to NiagaraAX Workbench starting in AX-3.7. Most screen captures were updated from the previous document, and various minor changes were made that are too numerous to mention.

The basic focus of this document remains unchanged—to describe the commissioning of a new JACE using the platform Commissioning Wizard. See the Important Commissioning Wizard notes for a summary of some noticeable wizard changes, starting in AX-3.7. Included are the reordering (and lesser importance) of the “Install Lexicons” step, and some additional module information noted in the “Select modules” step. See Install lexicons and Select modules for related details.

Starting in AX-3.7, a station’s PowerMonitorService (platform service) has an improved default view (plugin), which is described and shown in various sections under the section JACE power monitoring configuration. With more SRAM-equipped JACE controllers becoming available, this configuration may have increased importance, along with the configuration described in the section JACE SRAM support enabling/disabling.
