This document explains provisioning for a NiagaraNetwork in a Supervisor running AX-3.7, AX-3.6, or AX-3.5. For the most part, provisioning is identical in these three releases, with a few AX-3.7 differences noted. In addition, the basic provisioning model for NiagaraNetworks has remained unchanged since AX-3.3. See Provisioning FAQs later in this preface for a summary of related changes.

Before AX-3.3, provisioning was significantly different, using a different station architecture and NiagaraAX module (provisioning, vs. the current provisioningNiagara). Details about provisioning in AX-3.1 or AX-3.2 releases are in a different document: the NiagaraAX Provisioning Guide. However, note that this document has an appendix that covers conversion of a Supervisor that was previously running the older type of provisioning, and has now been upgraded to AX-3.5 or later. See the section About this document for a listing of the main sections in this document.
