Excerpts

“JACE-8000 controllers are shipped from the factory with a bare minimum of Niagara 4.1 software to run a platform daemon, along with a Tridium certificate, but not all items needed to run any type of station.” – Page 7

“Note that in Niagara 4, “SSL” is always implemented using the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol, supporting TLS versions 1.0, 1.1. and 1.2.” – Page 8

“If the JACE-8000 platform is to be used to wirelessly connect to the enterprise network, DHCP should not be enabled here. In that event, the WiFi adapter in Client Mode will require use of the JACE DHCP feature. For more information, see the JACE-8000 WiFi Guide.” – Page 30
