Starting RSS
2
The steps shown in Table 2-13 install RSS on a computer equipped with a hard-disk drive and two dis-
kette drives. After each “What to type” step below, press Return or Enter.
Note: The RSS program takes up less than 1MB of storage on your hard disk.
After installing RSS on a hard disk, you may notice a .BAT, extension, a .CFG extension, a .DBF extension
and a .MDF extension on some files. These types of files are explained briefly below. Do not delete or
move these files from the C:\MRSS\GM300 directory.
❏ “.BAT” A batch file. The HDINSTAL command file creates a file called GM300.BAT in the top
level directory of the hard drive.
❏ “.CFG “Created and modified by the RSS, the configuration file (“.CFG”) contains the PC port
choice, default pathnames and the display-type data.
❏ “.DBF” Created by the RSS the first time an archive file directory path is specified. This
archive database header file allows the RSS to locate and retrieve archive files, based on serial
numbers. DO NOT OVERWRITE OR DELETE THIS FILE. If you do, contact Radius Prod-
uct Services.
❏ “.MDF” The model definition file defines which radio models the RSS can program.
