3.1 CONFIGURATION UTILITY

Installation of the Configuration Utility on the system computer is required prior to operation of

the RSDetection unit. Reference the Configuration Utility Installation section in the Appendix.

3.2 FIRMWARE

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

blink alternating between green and yellow to indicate it is operational but no Ethernet connection

exists between the RSDetection and host computer.
