Once the JACE has powered up, connect to it with Workbench using “Open Platform.” A platform connection to any QNX-based JACE is required for most host-level operations. This includes installing Niagara core software and modules (in this case R2 software modules), establishing network and TCP/IP settings, and performing various other platform tasks.

After you open a platform connection, you can set the date and time and run the Install Niagara R2 wizard.
