What To Do with Previ-
ous
Versions of RSS Diskettes
We recommend that you discard previous versions of the RSS so that you
always have the most current version available and do not mistakenly
program a radio with outdated data. In addition, the latest RSS version has
updated codeplug structures which will be unreadable with old versions of the
RSS.
Installing the RSS on
your Hard Disk
Install the latest RSS version as soon as you receive it. This ensures that you
have the latest version of the RSS installed at all times. This action also stores
important files in a consistent place for cross-referencing and future use. The
software installation will take approximately three minutes.
The INSTALL program will:
•
Create the MRSS directory and the ASTRO,
ARCHIVEM and/or ARCHIVEP
,
OFP, SRIB, SYSKEY, and UPGRADE sub-directories if they do not already
exist. (For mobiles, the archive directory will be named ARCHIVEM, and
for portables, it will be named ARCHIVEP.)
•
Write over the old version’s program files with the same name, if the
names are the same.
Note:
The installation 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.
Note: The RSS is NOT a Windows or OS/2 program. Windows or
OS/2 cannot be loaded when you install or run the RSS. If you do,
the RSS will not operate correctly.
RSS Hard Disk Installa-
tion
1. Insert the RSS diskette marked Disk 1 in drive A.
2. Type
A:
(press Return).
3. At the
A:
prompt
,
type
INSTALL
.
Follow directions and answer questions on the display as and when they
appear. You will be instructed to switch diskettes in the diskette drive (ex.
“INSERT DISK CONTAINING FILE...”).
When installation is complete, you may notice a number of new files on your
hard disk depending on the particular RSS (Portable, Mobile or Both) you
installed. These files are listed on the following page. With the exception of
README.TXT files, do not delete or move these files from their locations.
