Once the SoftJACE software is installed and its platform daemon started, you can connect to it from another PC running Workbench, using “Open Platform.” A platform connection to any JACE (including SoftJACE) is required for most host-level operations. This includes upgrading NiagaraAX core software and modules, installing and starting a station, and performing various other tasks.
Port 3011[2] must be accessible on the AX SoftJACE. See Platform daemon port.
After you open a platform connection, you can run the Commissioning Wizard.
