RSWA Software Installation Wizard
The RSWA Installation Wizard runs automatically after the initial setup. This wizard configures the Array Explorer software.
It is important to completely follow these steps if you are upgrading an RSWA from version 3.5.4 (or older) or when installing RSWA software on a Desktop computer. This wizard will skip through some of the steps if the task described in the step is already complete. (For example, Administrator Password page will not be shown if the administrator's password is already assigned.)
Click Next to proceed.
Assigning Administrator Password
Choose a password for the Admin user, and be sure to write it down and keep it in a safe place. If you loose or forget this password, you will need to go through the password reset procedure. For information on the Admin user, see Basic Concepts.
Choose a reasonably short (but still hard to guess) password. Remember that most of the time you will be entering it using touch screen. It is recommended to use the standard 26 characters from Latin alphabet, and digits. Avoid spaces and characters from other alphabets.
RSWA Passwords are NOT case sensitive.
Choose Admin password as shown above, then click Next.
Creating First User
Optionally create a first local user with the permission to use the RSWA Array Explorer in standard mode. You can log in as a user with System Administrator permissions later and use the RSWA User Manager to add more local users. You could also use the RSWA Synchronizer to import shared users from a Coordinator PC.
This step is only recommended for actual RSWA units, and not Desktop PCs.
Click Next.
Replacing Windows Shell with RSWA Launcher
It is recommended to leave this option checked on all RSWA units. See the V3 RSWA Software User Guide page to learn more about the RSWA Launcher.
Do not check this box if you are installing this software on a desktop computer or on a laptop!
If due to some reason you decide to un-install the RSWA software, please use the Launcher to switch Windows Shell back to standard otherwise you may make your system un-bootable.
Click Next.
Activating Array Explorer License
A license is required to operate the Array Explorer software. If you had a previous version of the software registered, you can transfer that license to the new application. Otherwise you can run the Software Registration Application to activate the new license. If you skip this step now, then the registration process will start automatically upon starting Array Explorer.
Choose appropriate options, then click Next.
Reviewing Summary
Review the summary, then click Next to complete the installation.
Final Steps
You may need to restart the computer. This completes the software upgrade process.
