ROSS Configuration Editor
To complete the configuration of ROSS it is required to generate a unique service area (SA) with
all its associated files. The ROSS Configuration Editor will help gathers different elements and
consolidates them into a single structure which is uploaded to the ROSS file manger. The ROSS
Configuration Editor also provides the capability for file uploads and downloads either through
local LAN or over the air interface.
ROSS is ready to accept roaming database files after completing the basic communication
configurations in Section 4 "Communications Configuration". The screen capture below
illustrates as if two SA were generated and possibly uploaded. This section will step through the
basics of creating a complete SA files for first time upload. It will also touch on editing an
existing file structure for ongoing maintenance.
The ROSS Configuration Editor (RCE) is Windows application that is launched directly as a
standalone program requiring no system installation. It can be run from anywhere within your
network assuming the PC executing the program has IP connectivity to the editing ROSS unit(s).
The RCE is executed by double clicking on the program ICON shown below.
The RCE uses a proprietary IP protocol to transfer the configuration data in optimized manner.
The UI provides pull down menus as well as tool bar icons for configuration operations.
