NOTE: All controllers that can run
Niagara 4 use the QNX operating system. Prior Windows-based controllers that run Windows XP Embedded are not supported.
File storage on Windows-based
Supervisor platforms is typically a hard drive. The PC should be running a recent version of Windows.
Most platforms use a 64-bit Windows OS (Win64-based). Although a Win64
Supervisor uses a 64-bit JVM (Java Virtual Machine) and different NRE core binaries, its platform interface is nearly identical to any
Win32-based
Supervisor (for sites using iagara 4.8
Niagara 4.8 and earlier). Both are indicated when this document mentions a Windows-based host in various discussions, unless particularly
noted.
For any Windows-based platform, a
Supervisor’s Platform Administration view differs from a controller’s Platform Administration view.
NOTE: When connected to any Windows host, the TCP/IP Configuration platform view is always read-only. Intended configuration use is for controllers only. On any Windows host, you configure
TCP/IP and other network settings using the normal Windows Control Panel interface.
