Commissioning Wizard as right-click platform option

Typically, you use this wizard when installing a new JACE, as it provides a “checklist” method to perform essential (and often “one time”) platform tasks. Using the wizard is also recommended whenever you upgrade the core software in a JACE, at some future time. See “Upgrading a JACE” in the Platform Guide.

NoteThe same tasks executed as steps in the wizard can also be performed in separately available platform views. However, you may find the wizard to be more convenient.

Important Commissioning Wizard notes

  • The first part of the wizard is to select the installation steps needed and then install the core software (distribution file)—core software must be installed for a new JACE. After this portion completes, the wizard steps you through remaining steps in a second sequence.

  • Throughout the wizard’s dialogs, use the buttons Back and Next, as needed, to retrace (or skip) steps. Also, the Cancel button stops any unfinished operations, and exits the wizard after your confirmation.

  • Before committing to the final sequence of steps, the wizard provides a summary for you to review.
