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
that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of electric shock to anyone opening the case. It is also used to indicate
improper installation or handling of the product that could damage the electrical system in the product or in other
equipment attached to the product.
The exclamation point in the triangle is used to alert you to important operating and maintenance instructions.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury to you or damage to the product.
Be careful with electricity:
Power Outlet: To prevent electric shock, be sure the electrical plug used on the product power cord matches
the electrical outlet used to supply power to the Aurora product. Use the power adapter and power connection
cables designed for this unit.
Power Cord: Be sure the power cord is routed so that it will not be stepped on or pinched by heavy items.
Lightning: For protection from lightning or when the product is left unattended for an extended period,

adequate ventilation if the product is placed in a stand or cabinet. Put the product in a properly ventilated area,
away from direct sunlight or any source of heat.
Overheating: Avoid stacking the Aurora product on top of a hot component, such as a power amplifier.
Risk of Fire: Do not place unit on top of any easily combustible material, such as carpet or fabric.
Proper Connections: Be sure all cables and equipment are connected to the unit as described in this manual.
Object Entry: To avoid electric shock, never stick anything in the slots on the case, or remove the cover.
Water Exposure: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose to rain or moisture.
