Starting in AX-3.6, this view is key in any platform connection to a JACE-603 or JACE-645 controller, providing an option to either “Install Niagara R2” or “Uninstall Niagara R2”. See the Retrofit Board Niagara R2 Install and Startup Guide for details specific to these two controllers, including sections “About the Install Niagara R2 Wizard” and “Platform Administration view”.

Platform Administration is one of several platform views. This view provides access to various platform daemon (and host) settings and summary information. As shown in Figure 44, available functions appear as “buttons” on the left side, and summary information is listed in the right side. Typical use is when commissioning a new JACE, or when troubleshooting platform or host problems.

During a platform connection, upon first access to Platform Administration, a small delay occurs while downloading data about that platform’s installed modules. You may briefly see a “Loading Modules” dialog before the main view (Figure 44) appears.

Starting in AX-3.7, a “Change SSL Settings” button is enabled if the platform is licensed for SSL (feature “crypto”), and has the necessary modules installed. Otherwise, this button remains unavailable (dimmed).

Some functions vary by platform, see About platform differences.

Reboot does exactly what it says, regardless of the opened platform. This is a drastic action to take on any Niagara host. See Reboot for more details.
