It is easy if you bought TRM/xx system together with XML code processor. The software is preinstalled on an internal compact flash card (CF card), the system is ready to run. Step guide for the next things:

Step 1: Unpack the TRM/xx system.

Step 2: Make cable connections with TRM/xx. Connector your TRM/xx with your network.

(Use the hardware documentation for information where to connect cables.)

Step 3: Power ON TRM/xx.

We delivers TRM/xx with XML Code Processor and a preinstalled standard XML configuration file. After booting you see a display message like this:

Step 4: Setting IP adress, F1: ip

For using full features of TRM/xx, please connect it via your network. Use our standard XML configuration file for setting an IP adress inside your network.
Important 1: Remember your new IP adress! You need it for further working!
Important 2: After your input the new IP adress will be used!

Last Step: Try an FTP file transfer connection between your desktop PC and TRM system

Use IP adress of TRM - set in step 4. Use an FTP client software on your desktop, e.g. WS_FTP or others. Open an connection with user "xml" and password "xml". See following screen shots:

Now you can download your own XML files into the TRM/xx. Samples for XML config files are on our sample page.

On the other way - there are some useful things to know:

1) The name of the XML configuration file inside TRM/xx has to be "trm-code.xml" always!

It does not matter how you name the XML configuration file on your PC - but if it is in TRM/xx the code processor looks and starts a file named TRM-CODE.XML.

2) The configuration file is always on the compact flash card in TRM/xx (CF card).

Buying a TRM/xx with XML code processor indicates you have an installed compact flash card CF card inside the system. We will do this for you.

3) The CF card is mounted as /mnt/cf.

4) If you want to download your own XML confíguration file, you have to download a new version of trm-code.xml directly to the CF card and restart the system.

How you can download an own XML configuration file? - With FTP! Here is a short introduction about download with FTP:

Step 1: Create a FTP connection to TRM/xx. User "xml", password "xml".

Step 2: Download TRM-CODE.XML configuration file from your PC to the TRM/xx.

Step 3: Abort running XML application in TRM

In our demo file, use F4: ende / restart the system. You see a XML Code Processor ABORTED message on the display of the TRM/xx and you can restart with ENTER. During restart the code processor will automatically use the new XML configuration file.

That´s it! Now you can create own XML configuration files on your desktop PC, download them into the TRM/xx and use them there!

You can view an XML configuration file with your browser...
