Available Networking Technologies

Table 1-12 provides a summary of the networking technologies discussed in previous

topics and their availability on or for use with Niagara hosts. Most availability is

dependent on the operating system of the host.

Engineering PC

Web Supervisor PC Server for Niagara integrations.

Can also provide GUI interface

to Niagara integration. Can also

be used to engineer and

maintain Niagara integrations.

• Windows NT

maintain integrations but not

used as an integration server.

1. Models of devices that were announced or shipping at the release of this document.

2. Only the ports referenced in later parts of this manual are listed. In some instances, these ports provide alternate communication access

to the host. Ports mainly used for control of field devices are not listed.

3. When there is a functional difference between a JACE-NP with Embedded Windows NT 4.0 versus one with a full version of Windows NT

4.0, these hosts may be referred to as “an Embedded JACE-NP or a “Full JACE-NP”.

4. Throughout the remainder of this document the JACE-4 and JACE-5 models may be referred to as JACE-4/5 when they need to be

distinguished from JACE-NPs.

5. Since both of these PCs can be used to engineer or maintain a Niagara integration, throughout the remainder of this document these hosts

may be referred to as “an engineering PC” when used in the context of setting up or maintaining a Niagara integration.
