NoteAfter you commission a JACE and it reboots, in future platform sessions you will need to login using any new (changed) parameters, such as IP address, Port, Credentials. If you changed your PC’s IP address in order to connect to the JACE’s factory-assigned IP address, you will first need to reconfigure your PC to the appropriate TCP/IP settings (to communicate to the now-commissioned JACE).
