To use the NiagaraAX Dust driver, you must have a target JACE host that is licensed with the “dust” feature. In addition, other Dust “device limits” or proxy point limits may exist in your license.

From your PC, use the Niagara Workbench 3.n.nn installed with the “installation tool” option (checkbox “This instance of Workbench will be used as an installation tool”). This option installs the needed distribution files (.dist files) for commissioning various models of remote JACE platforms. The dist files are located under your Niagara install folder in a “sw\dist” subfolder.

Apart from installing the 3.n.nn version of the Niagara distribution file in the JACE, make sure to install the dust module too (if not already present, or upgrade if an older revision). For details, see “About the Commissioning Wizard” in the JACE NiagaraAX Install and Startup Guide.

Following this, the remote JACE is now ready for Dust client software configuration in its running station, as described in the rest of this document. See Niagara Dust Client Concepts.

Basic procedures for using the online learning features of the driver, including discovery of Mote channels (and proxy point representation in your Niagara station), is in the next section. See Dust Client Quick Start.
