To start the Install Niagara R2 wizard

From Workbench with a platform connection to new JACE-603 or JACE-645, do the following:

1. Double-click Platform Administration.

   The Platform Administration view appears (Figure 4).

2. Click the Install Niagara R2 button.

   The first “Niagara R2 Commissioning” wizard dialog appears. By default, most steps are preselected. Steps are executed in the order listed in the wizard.

   
   
   

3. As needed, click to include or omit steps. For a unit with a new RB-603 or RB-645 retrofit board, you typically accept all default selections, except possibly the last (install R2 lexicons) one.

   Niagara R2 Install steps include:

   • Clean Niagara AX Installation

     (read only) Not applicable for a new retrofit board. However, this step is automatically selected and executed if the unit was previously configured for NiagaraAX.

   • Install Niagara R2 Distribution File

     (read only) Always preselected. Installs the necessary Niagara R2 core software distribution files.

   • Install Local Niagara R2 Software Modules

     Required. You point the wizard to your Niagara R2 release directory, then select the R2 modules needed by your station.

   • Install Local Niagara R2 Station

     Recommended. Select the station from the stations folder in your Niagara R2 release directory.

   • Install Local Niagara R2 License

     (By default, not selected) This is unnecessary for a new retrofit board, which is shipped with an upgraded R2 license file already installed. However, if the unit was configured for Niagara R2 but then later “decommissioned for R2”, any saved upgraded Niagara R2 license will need to be reinstalled. In this case, select this to install the saved R2 license file. Note that after running the wizard, it is still possible to install the necessary R2 license file, using a tab in the R2 Platform Tool view.

   • Install Local Niagara R2 Lexicons

     Optional. Select R2 lexicon files needed, if any, from your Niagara R2 release directory.

4. Click the Next button to continue. For a new unit, the next step is Install Niagara R2 Distribution Files.
