RuggedCom RS400 Supported Platforms, Who Should Use This User Guide, How Chapters are organized

Preface

Preface

This manual contains instructions, examples, guidelines, and general theory on how to use the Rugged Operating System (ROS™) management software.

Supported Platforms

ROS™ has been designed to work on many RuggedCom product hardware platforms. This ensures consistency of the user experience when migrating from one product model to another. In fact, a single ‘binary’ image supports all RuggedCom ROS™ based products that includes:

•RuggedSwitch™ i800, i801, i802, and i803

•RuggedSwitch™ RS8000 and RS1600

•RuggedSwitch™ RS900/RS930 with both ‘L’ (EoVDSL) and ‘W’ (WLAN) port variants

•RuggedSwitch™ RS900G/RS940G with Gigabit

•RuggedSwitch™ RS969/M969 waterproof with Gigabit

•RuggedSwitch™ RSG2100/M2100 and RSG2200/M2200 modular switches with Gigabit

•RuggedServer™ RS416, RS910 and RS920 modular servers

•RuggedServer™ RS400

•RuggedServer™ RMC30

Each product model has a subset of the entire ROS™ feature set. This manual is intended for use with the RS400 product model(s) and has been streamlined to only describe the relevant features.
