However, you must first convert the controller from
AX to
N4, using the platform Distribution File Installer view.
Following the controller reboot from this, you re-establish a platform connection to the new controller and commission it
to install the necessary
Niagara 4 core software, selected modules, license(s), and do other platform configuration. Some important related tasks include setting
the controller’s:
- IP network address, and related IP networking parameters
- Platform daemon user(s), for platform logon
- Time and date (or simply sync with your PC’s time).
This document provides step-by-step instructions for these and other tasks. As described ahead, to do this you use the platform
Commissioning Wizard.
This wizard is the only way to install the needed
Niagara 4 core software in a controller. Most steps in the Commissioning Wizard are also available as separate platform views. For
example, there is a Software Manager, License Manager, and many others. Using these views individually may be useful after commissioning a controller. For more details see the
Niagara Platform Guide.
NOTE: Always use the Commissioning Wizard to commission a new controller for
Niagara 4, as well as to upgrade any controller from one
Niagara 4 point release to another—and make sure a license file is available!
