helpful for configuring devices that operate in environments that
forbid the use of networked computers.
DXU offers remote control capabilities for remote troubleshooting,
allowing a DXU administrator an opportunity to remotely operate
the device to check settings, configure the device using its own user
interface, and to see what a user sees.
How DXU Works
DXU is really two applications working together. The DXU desktop
application runs on a Windows PC, providing convenient UI to
configure the Skorpio X4. An application runs continuously on the
device to extract current configuration settings and send them to
the DXU desktop application, and to receive updated settings from
the DXU desktop application and apply those configuration settings
to the device.
DXU configurations are stored as configuration files on the PC, and
are transmitted to and from the Skorpio X4 as XML web pages. XML
is a standard data format that is widely used for a variety of
applications on the internet. Some data is encrypted in the XML file
to protect your sensitive data from prying eyes, but most data which
is not sensitive is transmitted in plain text that can be easily viewed
and analyzed.
