Start-Up Menu Selection By Remote Access Control (Rac); General - Safran CORTEX CRT Quantum User Manual

Start-up Menu Selection by Remote Access Control (RAC)

4.2.4.
The RAC functionality is supported by all CORTEX products (CRT, HDR, ACS, ...).

4.2.4.1. General

On some CORTEX products (CORTEX CRT, CORTEX HDR, etc...) a start-up menu offers several high-level
architectures (combination of hardware and software resources) corresponding to different mission requirements.
When starting up the CORTEX software, menu selection can be done either locally (user interface described
hereafter) or remotely (Remote Access Control) by sending control commands to a specific RAC data server on
the CORTEX machine (RAC port # 3003). Control commands are described in the Ethernet ICD STI 100013,
section 2.6.
Starting a new menu while the CORTEX is running takes only a few seconds (2 seconds best case, up to 20
seconds when a new FPGA software needs to be downloaded from the hard disk to the target FPGA).
The following commands are supported:

Stop the active menu: the CORTEX application software is not stopped but all IP connections (to the
monitoring port, telemetry port, ranging ports, etc...), except the connections to the RAC port, are
automatically closed. The connection status on the top level window of the GUI indicates
DISCONNECTED.

Start a new menu: select and start a new menu.

Check the active menu: indicates the active menu.

Load the menu table: on reception of this command, the CORTEX returns the list of available menus.
