HELP
This command returns a list of all the supported remote control interface commands. The
response to this command is:
Commands:
help, join, resign, name, stats, status, activity,
bye, quit, debug {value}
JOIN <Federation Name>
This command directs the Target federate to join the federation with the name specified. If no
name is given, it will use the federation name specified for that federate in the Target configu-
ration file. If the federate is joined to a federation, it will resign and attempt to join again. It
will do this even if the federation name is unchanged. If a federation name is not set (either
through the remote control port or from the configuration file), then the
JOIN
command will
fail and respond “
JOIN <NONAMEGIVEN> FAIL
.” Two federates must use the same feder-
ation name to pass information between them.
The response to the
JOIN
command is either “
JOIN FederationName OK
”, “
JOIN
FederationName FAIL
”, or “
JOIN FederationName FAIL BAD_FED_FILE
”.
The last response occurs if the federate could not get handles for all of the object class names
and attribute names it requested from the RTI. The normal cause of this is that the object
names and attribute names in the
.fed
file do not match the information in the conversion
file.
If the system does not join successfully, the most likely causes are:
• No
rtiexec
was running
• No federation name was specified
• No license was available to run the RTI (MÄK or VTC RTIs)
• The
.fed
file did not contain the names in the ASTi Radio SOM or was not found.
If “
JOIN <federation_name> OK
” is returned, the system is running and can be
interrogated to determine the federate status and activity.
NAME
When called with no parameters, the NAME command simply returns the names of the feder-
ate, the federation, the .fed file, the .rid file, and the conversion file. A typical response to this
command is shown here:
FEDERATION MySuperFed
FEDERATE Federate1
FEDFILE /tmp/aced-repoKwg3FX/repo/domains/FEDERATE1/hla/
asti3_2.fed
