5.5.1. Setting Up the Federation
This section assumes that the RTI and federate software are properly installed on two Targets.
This example will use the DMSO RTI (1.3NGv4) and, for the purposes of this scenario, the
rtiexec
process will run on one of the two Targets. Only one
rtiexec
process should exist
on the network. For performance reasons, ASTi recommends running this process on a separate
machine during an actual exercise and
NOT
on one of the Targets.
1. Start the RTI as described above.
2. On each machine, run the host emulator utility from any console.
3. Then enter the command “
join
.”
Wait for the federate software to return “
JOIN OK
” to indicate a successful join
operation. If the software returns “
JOIN FAIL
”, double check the network configuration
on each machine.
4. The
rtiexec
should then indicate successful federate initialization.
At this point, there is an “ASTi” federation with two joined federates. Note that the federate name
for each Target was generated based on the hostname and IP address of the individual machine. To
properly destroy the federation:
• Resign each federate by typing “
resign
” at the
Telestra >
prompt on both Targets.
• Stop the
rtiexec
process using
CTRL+C
.
