ASTi Telestra Remote Control Interface User Guide (Version 1, Revision A)

Using the Telestra System without a Monitor, Keyboard

and Mouse

The Telestra software is conﬁgured to start automatically at system boot if it ﬁnds a ﬁle called

"startup.cfg" in the /home/hlauser directory. If it ﬁnds such a ﬁle, it will start the

Telestra federate using /home/hlauser/startup.cfg as its conﬁguration ﬁle. When the

Telestra federate is started in this way, it will NOT be attached to the console, so no keyboard

input or screen output will be available from the federate. Because of this, it's important to set up

the remote control interface before enabling this autostart mode. If you do have a "star-

tup.cfg" ﬁle but have not yet set up the host interface, rename or delete the startup.cfg ﬁle

and reboot the system to halt the background process that is running. Note however that if a key-

board, mouse and monitor are connected then the "hostemu" software can be used to provide

local control. Use the Alt+F1-F6 to switch to another console and launch the hostemu application.

Because the Telestra system is running Linux, it is of course possible to connect to the system

with either ftp or telnet. This allows another method of using it without a keyboard, monitor, or

mouse.

Warning: If you do inadvertantly start-up the Telestra unit, without a keyboard, mouse and moni-

tor connected with the "startup.cfg" ﬁle present Telestra will ONLY be accessible from a

remote computer. It is not possible to connect the peripherals once Telestra has started. If you do

not have a remote computer capable of connecting to the Telestra unit, your only option is to

switch-off the Telestra system. If this is done, do be aware that it is possible to cause ﬁle errors

and possible disk corruption, due to not being able to shutdown the unit in a controlled fashion. If

this occurs the only option may be to rebuild the disk. ASTi therefore recommend that during all

testing of the remote interface operation and particulary when combined with use of the "star-

tup.cfg" ﬁle, that a keyboard, mouse and monitor combination be connected to Telestra.
