Response Biomedical RAMP 200, User Manual

Page: 60 / 94

To set up communications between RCU and Readers, open the default Group Settings file in the RCU.
Files Tab
This page sets the file locations where the Reader(s) looks for specific configuration information. The
Reader supports the following file transfer protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS and CIFS. Directories are
specified in URL notation. Consult your IT administrator for guidance on how to use these settings in the
local network environment. If Readers use the USB flash drive for configuration information, you should
set all file location fields to:
file:/// as in the default settings (except for time server, which should be
blank).
The system supports the following configurations:
USB Flash drive:
file:///
Web Server:
http://medsvr/RAMP200/
Network drive:
ftp://fileserver/RAMP200_share/
CIFS Share: cifs://fileserver/RAMP_200_share
NOTE: When using CIFS, each directory named must be an explicitly shared CIFS directory and the URL
must not contain a trailing slash.
When using Static IP mode, in order to designate servers by name, you must define a DNS server and use
fully qualified domain names (format server.domain.tld, for example
, myserver.mydomain.local).

Reader's internal clocks set to the correct time. This field should be left blank in non-
networked environments or networked environments that lack access to an NTP server.
