Operational Overview
The XSD-1000 Monitoring System executes on a Microsoft Windows XP Embedded-
based operating system. The embedded software is intended for use strictly as a
monitoring device. The hard disk is divided into two partitions: one for the operating
system and associated programs (Drive C) and one for the XDS-1000 data files (Log,
Configuration, and History files, Drive D). The primary partition (operating system and
associated program files) is typically write-protected. This ensures that unauthorized re-
configuration of the operating system or unauthorized driver installation will be discarded
at the next system boot (power off and on cycle).
If you wish to configure the system see the appendix section Operating System
Configuration for hard disk access (Drive C: is write-protected and contains Windows
and the XDS-1000 program files). This access will permit you to configure the system
(LAN/WAN connections, Windows printer selection, etc.), then reboot to save your
configuration settings and re-enable the disk-write protection function. For security
reasons, this appendix should be removed and stored separately from the manual to
prevent unauthorized writes to your hard disk.
The system is designed for a no-logon-required boot, and to auto-start the XSD-1000
software. Configuration changes to the XSD-1000 system do not require that the above
procedure be performed, as the configuration settings for the XSD-1000 are stored on the
non-write protected partition. A password is required to exit the XSD-1000 software.
The data files for the XSD-1000 (Log Files, and AssetMgmt file) are stored on the D:
drive of your system. These files are Microsoft Access (.MDB) standard files. If you
plan to access these files over your local network, you may want to configure the D: drive
(and/or just the Log sub-directory) as a shared drive/directory. This will allow you to
consolidate any number of XSD-1000 files into a host system running Microsoft Access.
Make sure you use a unique System ID (set in the XSD-1000 menus) for each system to
identify the file source.
When updates to your XSD-1000 system become available, you will be notified by e-
mail. They will be made accessible on the Ronan web site. Following is a typical
scenario for updating your system.
• You will need to download the file (typical file name: Update mm-dd-yy.exe) from
the Ronan web site into the directory: ‘C:\XSD-1000Update’ on the XSD-1000
system.
• Once downloaded, make sure you exit the XSD-1000 software and that no other
programs are running.
• Browse to the C:\XSD-1000Update directory and click on the file you just
downloaded. This will cause the downloaded file to self-extract the contained files.
Allow the system to extract the files into the current directory.
• Exit the extraction windows and explorer.
