Starting in build 3.6.44 or later of Workbench, when platform-connected to a JACE-603 or JACE-645 controller that has been configured for Niagara R2, the R2 Platform Tool is an available platform view. Note that JACE-603 or JACE-645 controllers are JACE-403 or JACE-545 controllers that have been upgraded with an NPM6E processor-based “retrofit board”, which runs the QNX OS.

The R2 Platform Tool view provides a number of functions formerly done in the Niagara R2 “Admin Tool”. In this case, some Workbench platform views vary, while other views and functions do not apply to the Niagara R2 host, including the usual NiagaraAX “Commissioning Wizard”. Refer to the Retrofit Board Niagara R2 Install & Startup Guide for complete details, including the section “R2 Platform Tool”.

Alternatively, a retrofit board-upgraded JACE-603 or JACE-645 controller can be configured for AX-3.6 or later, in which case the R2 Platform Tool platform view does not apply. In this case you use the normal NiagaraAX commissioning process, the same as for any other QNX-based JACE.
