Purpose RuggedExplorer™ is a lightweight, standalone tool providing limited management capabilities of ROS™ devices. It allows a technician to discover, identify and configure all ROS-based devices. The tool will only allow for the configuration of a small number of parameters to be discussed in detail later in this document. Using RuggedCom's proprietary Layer 2 RuggedCom Discovery Protocol™ (RCDP™), RuggedExplorer is able to discover and configure ROS-based devices irrespective of their IP network configuration, including devices having no IP configuration at all. RuggedExplorer's Automatic Discovery mode requires RCDP support to be present in devices to be discovered. This requires that devices be running ROS version 3.7 or newer. RCDP is enabled on ROS-based devices by default when they are shipped from the factory. 1.2. Features • Automatic discovery of new, unconfigured RuggedCom devices running ROS™ version 3.7.0 or greater using RCDP over Ethernet. • Manual discovery of RuggedCom devices running ROS versions prior to 3.7.0 using TCP/IP. • Basic configuration of IP addressing and system identification parameters. • Bulk firmware updating of multiple ROS-based devices. • Summary display of discovered devices, their status and some basic parameters. • Easy identification of devices via control of panel LEDs. • Easy manual importation of devices from a device list. 1.3. Use Cases Some common uses of RuggedExplorer are: • Commissioning of new devices: Using RCDP, RuggedExplorer allows a network of ROS devices to be commissioned in place in the network with no prior configuration necessary. It is capable of discovering and configuring ROS devices that have been taken directly from the factory and connected to the network. • Bulk configuration or reconfiguration: RuggedExplorer can be used to modify the network and identification configuration parameters of one or multiple ROS devices, either one at a time, or using a template-based auto-incrementing tool. • Asset reporting: RuggedExplorer can generate a report of ROS-based network device assets on a network segment. If RCDP is supported on all devices, RuggedExplorer need not have any prior knowledge of IP addressing used by ROS devices. • Network debugging: RuggedExplorer can be used to report the occurrence of duplicate IP addresses, or of inconsistencies in IP address allocation among ROS devices. Note that RCDP support is required in order to detect certain IP addressing misconfigurations. 1. Introduction to RuggedExplorer™ RuggedExplorer™ 8 Version 1.4 • Bulk firmware upgrade: RuggedExplorer can be used to upgrade the firmware of one or multiple devices at once. • System backup: The configuration, firmware, log, and other ancillary files of one or multiple devices can be retrieved and archived in a single step. • Diagnostic data retrieval: Diagnostic data (system logs and alarms) from one or multiple devices can be retrieved and archived in a single step. 1.4.
