Installing ComstarG4
The RXC-3080 can be programmed with a computer running the optional ComStarG4 program. To
install the program on a computer, follow these instructions:
Thumbdrive Installation to Computer Disk drive.
1) Insert the thumbdrive into your computer. The computer should automatically find the drive and
install it as a removable disk drive.
2) If the program does not automatically install, you may need to use Windows Explorer to select the
drive and manually start the installation program:
setup.exe
The program will create and install to the directory
C:\Program Files\Genave
The program will also install all of the files you need into the Genave directory.
The program will also ask if you want a desktop icon.
The first time you install ComStarG4 on your computer, select the option to install the USB Drivers.
3) Attach your USB cable to the RXC unit and run
ComStarG4.EXE
.
For Windows 7 users it may be necessary to open Windows Explorer, locate ComStarG4.exe then right
click on the file name and select “Run as administrator”.
4) The first time your run ComstarG4, click
Edit->Preferences
and select the USB drive.
The file that holds all of the configuration data for your Genave product will automatically load when
you start the ComstarG4 program. If you make changes to the file, use “SAVE AS” and save the new
file to the hard drive. It is best if you also save the file to the thumbdrive. This will be your backup
copy of the changes.
KEEP YOUR THUMBDRIVE SAFE. If you need to return your Genave product for service, you will
need to send us the thumbdrive along with the unit if you have made changes to the data files in the
field. This will be our only way of knowing what the unit has been programmed to do.
