  • No Advanced Options button is available (FTP/Telnet configuration can be done directly using Windows).
  • Choices available from the Update Authentication function are more involved.
 
NOTE: If you have your local PC platform open, such as a Supervisor, buttons Set Module Filter, Commissioning, and Reboot and are unavailable.
 
  • Setting the Module Filter is intended only for initial configuration in a remote JACE. For more details, see “Set Module Filter.”
  • The Commissioning Wizard is intended only for initial Niagara installation and startup in a remote JACE, or whenever upgrading a JACE. For more details, see “Commissioning.”
  • Reboot is intended only for remote JACE platforms (see Reboot). To locally reboot a Supervisor, you should stop its local station, exit Workbench, then restart the operating system.

See “Platform Administration” for more details.
