    By default, all steps are preselected except lexicon installation. Steps are executed in the order listed in the wizard.

  2. As needed, click to include or omit steps. For a new JACE, you typically accept all default selections.

    Commissioning steps include:

    • Request or install software licenses — Preselected for any new JACE controller.
    • Set enabled runtime profiles — Preselected and read-only for any new unit.
    • Install a station from the local computer — Recommended. Optionally, you can station(s) at a later time.
    • Install lexicons to support additional languages — Option to install file-based lexicon sets (alternative to lexicon modules). Typically you leave this cleared—lexicon modules are required in N4.
    • Install/upgrade modules — (always preselected, whenever wizard is run). To select the software modules, and optionally any lexicon modules.
    • Install/upgrade core software from distribution files — Preselected and read-only for any new unit.
    • Sync with my local system date and time — Preselected in most cases (new JACE for example, where controller time may greatly differ from actual time).
    • Configure TCP/IP network settings — Recommended.
    • Remove platform default user account — Preselected and read-only for a new unit. You cannot commission a unit with the factory default platform user.
    • Configure additional platform daemon users — Recommended option if you require additional platform admin user accounts, with unique user names and passwords (all have full equal privileges).
