Adding the HardwareScanService

You can add the Hardware Scan Service in any JACE controller running AX-3.7 or later. To add the service, simply install two software modules, using the Software Manager in a platform connection:

where Type varies by the specific JACE model series (see below). If you select only the platHwScanType module, the required platHwScan module becomes automatically selected.

NoteInstalling these modules results in a reboot of the JACE controller.

Choosing the two platHwScan modules needed for a JACE-2/6, JACE-3E, or JACE-6E series

Figure 2 shows the two modules selected that are necessary for a JACE-2, JACE-3E, JACE-6, or JACE-6E series controller. By controller series, platHwScanType is as follows:

Table 1. platHwScanType module needed, by controller model series

Controller Series platHwScanType module
JACE-2/6 (200/600), JACE-3E, JACE-6E platHwScanNpm
JACE-7 (700) platHwScanJvln
JACE-603 (JACE-403 with retrofit board) platHwScanJ603
JACE-645 (JACE-545 with retrofit board) platHwScanJ645
JACE-x02 Express (202/602-XPR or M2M) platHwScanXpr
JACE-NXS/NXT platHwScanNx
Security JACE (201/601) platHwScanSec

NoteIf you install the incorrect platHwScanType module, or install only platHwScan module, the default view on the station’s Hardware Scan Service will simply display:Jar file platHwScanType is required to support this platform In this case, simply install the correct type using the table above.
