Installing the RSS on your Hard
Disk
Install the latest RSS version as soon as you receive it. This ensures that
important files are stored in a consistent place for future use. The
software installation will take approximately three minutes.
The INSTALL program will:
• Create the MRSS, HT1000, and ARC directories if they do not
already exist;
• Create the HT1000.EXE, CONFIG.MOT, README.TXT, HELP.LIB
and SETUP.MOT files; and
• Write over old version’s program files that have the same names, if
they exist.
Note that the INSTALL program will NOT write over your archive files.
You may install the RSS on several personal computers and laptop
computers at a single site depending on the terms of your license. If
you have additional sites (i.e. a second shop, etc.), you should
purchase additional subscriptions.
RSS Hard Disk Installation &
Start-Up Procedure
1. Insert the 3 1/2” double-density RSS distribution diskette into the
floppy disk drive.
2. Log on to that drive (assuming it is drive A) by typing A: (press
Return) and type
INSTALL (press Enter) at the A: prompt.
The default installation directory is C:\MRSS\HT1000. Follow
directions and answer questions as and when they appear on the
display.
The installation utility will also prompt you for permission to create or
modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. This modification consists of
changing the PATH statement so that the RSS can be started from any
directory. The change should be allowed unless there are specific
reasons not to modify the PATH statement.
Note: Motorola RSS software programs are not compatible with
many Terminate-and-Stay-Resident (TSR) utility programs (Side
Kick® for example). If you encounter problems when executing
the HT/JT1000/VISAR RSS, these programs should be removed.
RSS Start-Up Procedure After installing the RSS on your hard disk, follow the start-up
procedure below:
1. At the C:\ prompt, type CD C:\.
2. Type C: and press Return to log on to the hard drive.
3. At the C:\ prompt, type HT1000 and press Return.
If the software does not start up correctly, you may hear a tone or see
an error message or error code printed on the display. If this happens,
verify that the file HT1000.BAT appears under the root directory of
Drive C and check for the error code in Appendix A of this manual.
Note: The RSS is NOT a Windows program. If you have
Windows loaded, the RSS program will not operate properly.
