System Conguration File
X-System’s System Conguration File contains everything about a system, including X-Net device locations, port
assignments, conferences, and proles. This le lives in the Control Unit, and it coordinates all device activity on the
system. Only one conguration le can be live on a system at any given time; however, you can save multiple versions of
conguration les locally or on a USB drive. These saved les have a “.ccf” le extension, which stands for “CoachComm
Conguration File.” CCFs can be edited ofine using X-Ware on your PC and then uploaded to your master Control Unit
directly from X-Ware or via a portable USB drive at the front USB port of the CU. Instructions for Uploading a CCF are
provided in the following sections.
Each X-System is pre-congured by CoachComm with the customer’s desired settings, and setup/modication of the
conguration le is performed from X-Ware. CoachComm’s customer support staff is available to help with any advanced
conguration needs during the season.
Saving a System Conguration File
Changes to the conguration during operation will be saved at the Control Unit. However, if you wish to save a copy of the
conguration le for later use, follow these procedures:
1. Make sure your Control Units are powered on. If you have not already done so, set the Home/Away status.
2. Launch X-Ware, then click the gear icon located at the top right of the home screen. This will launch X-Ware’s
Advanced Settings window. (See page 49 of this manual for more information about using X-Ware.)
3. If you wish to save your le to a USB Drive, insert one into the X-System computer (located in the top, rear rack
area behind the touch screen monitor.)
Note: Make sure the USB drive has enough space on it to save the le. 50 KB should be plenty.
4. Go to File and click Save File As… and save your le to your USB drive or to a designated folder on your cart
computer.
Note: The le name must be 8 characters or less! It is helpful to include your school and a date in the
name when sending it to CoachComm for assistance. For example, AU_W9_18, TAMU8.30, etc.
Note: The X-System CU is currently compatible with FAT and FAT32 formatted USB thumb drives (up
to 16 TB drive size). Some operating systems (e.g., Windows 10) promote NTFS format, but only
allow FAT32 formatting up to 32 GB. For help with formatting larger USB thumb drives, contact
CoachComm Customer Support at 1.800.749.2761.
5. Once the le has been saved, you can exit out of the software and eject your USB drive from the computer.
See “Uploading a Conguration File” on page 46 for instructions on uploading a saved le to your system. See “Opening
a System Conguration File Ofine” on page 56 for instructions on how to work with a saved conguration le.
Uploading a Conguration File
Uploading a Conguration File via X-Ware
Follow these procedures when uploading a previously saved conguration le to your system via X-Ware. See “Opening a
System Conguration File Ofine” on page 56 for instructions on how to work with a saved conguration le.
1. Connect your RTs, make sure each Control Unit (CU) is powered on and has completed loading the current
conguration le, select Home or Away, and open X-Ware. The system will be “Live” using the CU’s current
conguration le.
