As shipped from the factory, a JACE-NXS with NiagaraAX has Windows XP Embedded pre-installed, but only the bare minimum of software to run the Niagara platform daemon (niagarad). It does not contain the Sun Java VM, Niagara runtime environment or software modules, lexicons, license, certificate, stations, and so on.
To install this software, you must use Workbench to open a platform connection to the JACE-NXS and install Niagara distribution files, software modules, license(s), and do other platform configuration. Some important related tasks include setting the JACE’s:
-
IP network address, and related IP networking parameters
-
Platform daemon credentials (for platform login)
-
Time and date (or simply sync with your PC’s time)
This document provides step-by-step instructions for these and other tasks. As described ahead, the most straightforward way is to use the Commissioning Wizard.
Most steps in the Commissioning Wizard are also available as separate platform views. For example, there is a Distribution File Installer, Software Manager, License Manager and many others. For more details, see the section “Niagara platform” in the Platform Guide.
