CONFIGURATION OF THE WAG
After connecting to the WAG using a terminal emulator or using Telnet, the WAG can be
configured. The following paragraphs describe how to enter the new configuration. After the
changes have been completed, the changes should be saved.
Configuration options are described in the order they appear on the WAGSetup.CFG configuration
screens (Configuration Menu).
2.6.1
Type 7 ATCS Address
The WAG can be assigned both Type 7 and Type 3 ATCS addresses. This enables the WAG to
handle any ATCS message of either type that it sees. See paragraph 2.6.2 for directions on
changing Type 3 addresses.
Changing the Type 7 ATCS address lets the user specify the Type 7 ATCS address for the WAG on
the network. The Type 7 address for each unit uses the field wayside equipment ATCS address
format 7.RRR.LLL.GGG.SS.DD. The address segments are as follows:
RRR
The railroad number.
LLL
Line Segment designation.
GGG
A unique number for each group within that line segment.
SS
Sub-node Field used to further differentiate traffic within a group to an individual device.
DD
Device Field used to further differentiate traffic internally in the equipment being addressed.
Make sure that a unique and valid Type 7 ATCS address is configured for each piece of equipment
used on the network.
To Assign Type 7 ATCS Address:
1.
On the First Configuration Menu, select "WAG Type 7 ATCS Address" to be changed. The
Type 7 ATCS Address screen (see Figure 2-12) appears.
