A host emulator pro- gram is supplied with the Telestra system that can act as a console attached to the Telestra feder- ate, either on the local box or a remote one. The connection is designed to be robust - if the connection is unexpectedly closed or broken, the socket will automatically re-open and begin lis- tening for a new connection.
List of Commands and Responses The Telestra federate expects all command lines to be terminated with a <cr> character ( \n to you C programmers). If two command lines come at once, they will be executed in order. A com- mand will not be executed until the final <cr>...

The name, RTI handle, and type of the object is returned. In addition, an object is designated as “local” if it is owned by the Telestra federate in question (for transmitters and receivers), or if there is a local transmitter or receiver attached to it (in the case of entities).

The host entity name for a radio is also published as an attribute of the transmitters and receiv- ers. See the ASTi SOM for more details. ACTIVITY This command returns activity counters from the Telestra system. A sample output would be: lifeCounter = 68 Attributes Updates rx:10 tx:441 rx ignored:0...
The purpose of the host emulation is to experiment with the host inter- face and to verify that it is acting correctly. This applies to both the local Telestra unit, and to other remote Telestra units (if available).
A command will not be evaluated until a <cr> is received. “To telestra” is the command as it is passed to the Telestra system. These might be different if the host sends two commands at once. For example. if the host sends the string “status\nobject\n\n”, the debug output would be: From Host: ‘status\nobject\n\n’...
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.
