The "embedded" JACE controllers include the following:
- JACE-8000
- JACE-2,-3,-6,-7 series models
- JACE-4,-5 series models
The
JACE-3,-6,-7 series offer an option for an onboard wireless (GPRS) modem, and the
JACE-700 offers a wireless 802.11b/g (WiFi) option.
The JACE-8000 platform, introduced with the release of
Niagara 4, provides a number of exclusive features, such as integral WiFi (802.11b/g) support, backup and restore to and from a removable
USB drive, and easy communications expansion using attachable modules.
JACE-8000 controllers initially supported
Niagara 4 only—however update build
AX-3.8U1provides JACE-8000 support with some feature limitations (specifically WiFi and USB backup/restore functionality is not supported when running
AX). Whereas the JACE-3,-6,-7 series controllers were originally released with
NiagaraAX, and may be migrated to
Niagara 4 if already running
AX-3.8, or else configured from scratch using
Niagara 4.
NOTE: Starting in AX-3.7, support ended for dialup modem operation in
Niagara (dialup modem option card for a JACE controller, and/or external dialup modem for a controller or Supervisor).
