System Conguration File
X-System’s Conguration File (CCF) contains everything about a system, including X-Net device locations, port assignments,
conferences, and proles. This le is used by 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.
Each X-System is pre-congured by CoachComm with the customer’s desired settings. Saving, setup, and modications of
the conguration le are performed in X-Ware, if used. CoachComm’s Customer Support staff is available to help with any
advanced conguration needs during the season.
Saving a Conguration File
Changes to the conguration during operation will be saved at the Control Unit (CU). However, if you wish to save a copy of
the conguration le for later use, follow these procedures:
1. Insert a USB drive into your personal computer or laptop.
Note: Make sure the USB drive has enough space on it to save the le. 50 KB should be sufcient.
2. Connect your computer to the CU. See “Connecting X-Ware to Your CU” on page 32 for more details on this
process, if needed.
3. Make sure your CU is powered on. If you have not already done so, set the Home/Away status.
4. 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 34 of this manual for more information about using X-Ware.)
5. Click the Save File button on the top left of the screen and save your le to your USB drive. You may also choose
to save a copy to the Documents folder on your personal computer or laptop.
Note: The le name must be 8 characters or less! It may be helpful to use school and date in the name.
For example, ASU1104, BAY1031, etc.
6. Once the le has been saved to your USB drive, you can exit out of the software and eject the USB drive from the
computer.
Loading a Conguration File
Follow these procedures when uploading a new conguration le to your system:
Important! Be sure you have saved a backup copy of your current conguration le prior to loading a
new one, in case you need to revert back to it for any reason.
1. Make sure your Control Unit (CU) is powered on and the current conguration le has completely loaded, then plug
the USB drive into the front of the CU. An External USB Drive menu screen will display on the CU LCD.
2. Navigate down the list of menu options until Delete System Conguration is highlighted. Press the Enter button
and delete the current le that is stored on the CU.
