Requirements

These instructions assume that you have a PC that is running a licensed copy of NiagaraWorkbench and that the installation tool option was chosen and included as part of the Workbench installation. This option copies distribution files to the PC that are needed for commissioning various models of controllers.

Your PC must meet minimum hardware and operating system requirements. This includes a working Ethernet adapter with TCP/IP support (browser capable). An Ethernet TCP/IP connection to the controller is required to install Niagara software and configure other properties.

For this initial Ethernet connection, you can use either:

• An Ethernet patch cable connected directly between your PC and the controller (if your PC Ethernet port is not auto-sensing, you will need an Ethernet crossover cable), or

• A normal LAN connection, meaning that both your PC and the controller are physically connected to the same Ethernet hub or switch.
