CONNECTING TO THE RDS CONSOLE
The RDS Console is used to edit RDS settings in real time. For example it can be used by
automation software.
To use the console do the following steps:
1. Connect to the TCP port of the RDS console with a terminal program or an automation
software.
2. Wait to receive the welcome message.
3. Enter the password, if used.
4. Proceed with entering commands.
RDS CONSOLE SYNTAX
The picture above is a sample RDS console conversation. The red text represents user input
and black text represents the console's responses. The symbol '8 ' represent the Enter key on the
keyboard.
The first row is the welcome message from the RDS console. Next the user types in the password
(in this case 'pass'), followed by Enter. The third row is the response meaning that the password is
accepted and user may proceed with commands.
The fourth row is a 'set' command. These types of commands are used to set new value to RDS
parameters. In the example above 'PI' is the Program Identification command, '=' (equal sign)
means set new value and '1234' is the new value. The Enter key represents command's end and
signals the RDS console to execute the command. The fifth row is a positive response from the
RDS console. It means the command is accepted and executed successfully.
The sixth row is a 'get' command. These types of commands are used to return the current
value of RDS parameters. In the example above 'PI' is the Program Identification command, '?'
(question mark) means return PI's value. The RDS console responds with the current value (in this
case '1234') and positive response on the next row.
The ninth row is again a 'set' command. In this case: Set Traffic Program to 3. The response is
negative because the parameter TP can only have value 0 or 1.
