However, be aware that a Supervisor station can perform "provisioning", which can automate some platform tasks. Provisioning
typically applies to its subordinate JACEs, which are represented in the
Supervisor station as
Niagara Stations (devices) under its
Niagara Network.
For more details, see the “
Niagara Provisioning overview” in the Niagara Provisioning Guide for Niagara Networks document.
NOTE: Some of the provisioning views provided by a
Supervisor are nearly identical to platform views described in this document, including the Software Manager and Application Director (Station Director), and work in the same fashion. However, if new to
Niagara, it is recommended that you become familiar with “direct” platform views described in this document, before using provisioning
in a
Supervisor.
