Software Manager notes

  • Only software modules are shown, versus all “installable parts” including dist files, etc. Note that “standard lexicons” are distributed in Niagara 4 builds as modules, named (by convention) as niagaraLexiconLc-rt.jar (where Lc is a two-character language code). For details, see the Niagara Lexicon Guide.
  • Module statuses of “Out of Date” and “Not Installed” can include “Requires Commissioning” too, for example “Out of Date (Requires Commissioning)”. You cannot install such modules without first commissioning (upgrading) the controller using the Commissioning Wizard.
  • In some cases you can install a new module or modules without rebooting the JACE, with its station kept running. This does not apply if upgrading (or downgrading) an existing module on the controller.
  • If needed, you can install an earlier Niagara 4 version of a module, versus its latest “Available” version—providing earlier versions are in your Workbench software database. See “Right-click option to install earlier version”.

This information is described and noted in other sections of this document, and is summarized here only to assist if you are already familiar with previous Workbench versions.
