USERS GUIDE 

Technology Overview 

Introduction to RXT 

The RXT Series is a stand-alone touchscreen control system built on the ReAX™ operating system. This Linux based OS 
has been engineering from the ground up to provide a robust and flexible control system platform, based on Aurora’s 
years of experience in the control industry. 

As with all Aurora control systems, the RXC is a web-based control system. Custom programming and GUIs can be 
created with our free ReAX™ Core Studio software. With the RXC Series built-in web server, it allows virtually any device 
with a web browser to display the GUI and control the system. Examples include PC browsers, dedicated touch panels 
like the Aurora RXT series tablets, smart phones and more. 

The small size and flexible architecture allow the RXC to be used as a full standalone controller, an expansion controller, 
or a hybrid of the two. This allows for a distributed control network – place control ports right where they are needed in 
your system rather than long cable runs from a central location. 

RXC controllers have a full complement of LAN, RS-232, relay, I/O, and IR ports for controlling external devices. An IR 
receiver enables the internal IR learner – no extra hardware required. In addition to network control and access to the 
GUI and configuration web pages, the LAN port is also capable of power over Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for an 
additional power supply. 

Quick Start 

1)

 

Power unit using PoE (802.3af min) Ethernet switch or injector.

 

2)

 

Note the 

[IP Address]

 of the unit from the kiosk screen.

 

3)

 

In a web browser, navigate to http://[IP Address]/setup.

 

4)

 

Log into the device using Username: 

admin

 and Password: 

last

 

8 digits of the serial number.

 

5)

 

Set up the device as needed using the GUI, including setting the IP address to fit your needs.

 

6)

 

Use Aurora’s Core Studio to design a custom interface for your application.
