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.

Safety Instructions
Please review the following safety precautions. If this is the first time using this model, then read this manual before installing
or using the product. If the product is not functioning properly, please contact your local dealer or Aurora for further
instructions.
The lightning symbol in the triangle is used to alert you to the presence of dangerous voltage inside the product

File Transfer
Files are transferred to the RXT series ReAX controllers using FTP.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a method of transferring files to a web
server, such as the RXT device. Most FTP clients allow a simple drag-and-
drop interface for moving files between your computer, and the RXT
device. Core Studio has an integrated FTP upload available for publishing
directly to the RXT device.
Windows Explorer is also capable of performing basic FTP transfers.
While a full featured FTP client is suggested, you can use Windows
Explorer to transfer by typing the following address in the address bar:
ftp://admin:[password]@[IP Address] where [password] is the
administrative password of the RXT device and [IP Address] is its IP
address.
For a full FTP client, we suggest FileZilla, which is a free and open-source
FTP client: https://filezilla-project.org/
Host Settings: At the bottom of the File Transfer page is a grey box which contains the necessary information to
configure an FTP client for this specific RXT device.
Kiosk
The RXT device is a Kiosk meaning access to the underlying Android system is locked. The user will not be able to exit
from this Kiosk by any means other than that provided by the password protected Kiosk functions.
By default, RXT will always boot to locked mode. If the device is not in locked mode, the user will be able to see a
‘Navigation bar’ at the bottom of the display.
Home Page
On a factory new device which has never had a Core Studio project
published, the default Home screen will appear. This screen contains
basic information about the RXT device including its IP address,
firmware version, system date and time, serial number, and the Setup
URL. The setup URL can be typed into a web browser on a computer on
the same LAN to access the Device Setuppage.
Once a Core Studio project has been published to the device, the
interface of that project will be the default Kiosk and this page will no
longer be displayed. At this point, this page can be accessed from a web browser by pointing to http://[IP
Address]/home where [IP Address] is the IP address of the RXT device. This page can be restored to the default by
setting the ‘Kiosk Home Page’ found in the Network Settings page to ‘http://localhost/home’.
The Home page also offer access to the following commands.

Core Studio Design Software
Overview
Aurora's ReAX™ Core Studio is a professional grade software for creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and control
logic code. The intuitive drag-and-drop interface allows for easy and flexible design, while enabling rapid duplication and
reuse of code blocks. Control programs are published to any ReAX capable control system as a web page. Once loaded
on the controller, the control page can be accessed from virtually any device with a web browser. A few examples
include Aurora's RXT touch panels, tablets such as an iPad, smart phones, a PC browser, and many other devices.
Furthermore, most devices (including those running iOS, Android, and Chrome browser, and others) can launch the Core
Studio control pages as a full-screen web app, allowing for a seamless control experience without the need for a native
app.
Core Studio integrates all the common control elements, such as
buttons, various toggle elements, sliders, drop down menus, spinboxes,
icons, and other design and graphical elements. In addition, advanced
features such as live streaming video preview windows for Aurora's AV
over IP devices can be included within your control page. And HTML
iframes allow you to include content from the web, such as weather feeds, news feeds, stock tickers, or any other local
or internet-based website content. Core Studio has a familiar interface that existing users will understand with little or
no learning curve. The published makes use of Node.js and other modern robust technologies for peak efficiency within
the ReAX OS. Best of all - ReAX Core Studio is available for free. There is no purchase fee, no registration fee, and no
certification fee. Aurora Multimedia offer training videos to get you started and webinar training for introductory or
advanced training.
