Firmware for the RSDetection is already installed on the unit when it is shipped. The unit can be
reprogrammed using the Configuration Utility. Note that a network connection is required for
updating the firmware or OS, a serial connection cannot be used.
A single, multi-color LED indicates the current operational status as shown in Table 2 LED
Operations. If multiple conditions exist, the LED may alternate between states. For example, it may
blink alternating between green and yellow to indicate it is operational but no Ethernet connection
exists between the RSDetection and host computer.
