At the install/upgrade core software step, a popup dialog briefly appears as the dependencies of the platform are compared against the distribution (dist) files available in your Workbench PC’s “software database.” The wizard determines what dist file(s) need to be installed, and then informs you in a dialog (Figure 5).
For related details, see the section “About your software database” in the Platform Guide.
To install the distribution file
To install the selected distribution file, do the following:
-
Click to install the distribution file.
The distribution file install process begins, with the necessary substeps shown in the dialog. Each substep has a status that changes from “Not Running” to “Started” to “Success” as it completes. The entire process can take several minutes until it completes (Figure 6).
For a new JACE-NXS, the first step “Install distribution file” can take up to 5 minutes by itself. -
After the distribution file is installed, click the button to go to the next commissioning step. Using wizard defaults, this is Station installation.
When doing future Niagara upgrades to this JACE-NXS, it is recommended that you relaunch the Commissioning Wizard. See “Upgrading a JACE” in the Platform Guide for details.
