To start the Commissioning Wizard

From a Workbench PC with the SoftJACE platform open, to start the Commissioning Wizard do the following:

1. In the Nav tree, right-click on Platform and select Commissioning Wizard. The wizard dialog Commissioning for “<IP address>” appears.

   By default, all steps are selected except lexicon installation (for language support). Steps are executed in the order listed in the wizard.

2. As needed, click to include or omit steps. For a new SoftJACE, you may elect to clear various steps. For example, you may wish to clear the module content filter level step, the TCP/IP settings step, and/or the platform daemon authentication configuration step.

   Some steps always run, e.g. the request or install software licenses step and install/upgrade modules step.

   
   
   

   Commissioning steps include:

   • Request or install software licenses — Always selected.

   • Set module content filter level — Typically unnecessary, as the default module content level is the highest (DOC + UI + RUNTIME), which is appropriate for almost any SoftJACE host platform.

   • Install a station from the local computer — Recommended.

   • Install lexicons to support additional languages — Recommended only if you are using lexicon sets (files) instead of lexicon modules, typically for non-English language support.

   • Install/upgrade modules — Always selected, whenever wizard is run. To select the software modules, and optionally any lexicon modules for a AX-3.7 or later SoftJACE.

   • Install/upgrade core software from distribution files — Preselected for any new SoftJACE.

   • Sync with my local system date and time — Preselected for any new SoftJACE.

   • Configure TCP/IP network settings — Optional, to configure various TCP/IP settings of the remote SoftJACE host (including IPv6 settings and host file settings). This provides an alternative to using the host’s native Windows configuration access method, e.g. via its Windows Control Panel.

     Any change you make in this step results in a reboot of the SoftJACE PC at the end of all steps executed by the wizard. For details, see Post-wizard SoftJACE configuration.

   • Configure platform daemon authentication method — Optional, this allows you to change from the default “basic” (Windows user) authentication to “digest” authentication for platform connections to the SoftJACE.

3. Click the Next button to continue. The first step is Request or install software licenses.
