ASTi Telestra 4 Training Manual (Ver. 1, Rev. F)

5.2.2. Servers

In addition to Targets, Server platforms can also be added to

a Project. From a hardware standpoint, Server platforms are

additional Target platforms connected to a set of Target sys-

tems over a network. The Servers run ASTi’s server-based

simulation applications such as HLA, SATCOM, HF/ALE,

and Terrain. Server platforms can also provide traditional

server-based services such as NTP.

As the name implies these simulation applications provide

simulation capabilities and features to a collection of Tar-

gets. Servers are added to the Project by right-clicking on

the Layout canvas and adding a Server icon. Double-click

on the Server icon to open up the configuration tool and

from there the user can select the types of simulation ser-

vices required to support the application.

The most commonly used feature is the DIS Gateway which

provides the interface to the DIS network.

a. Set DIS version 4, 5, or 6.

b. Set the interface to eth0, 1, 2.

c. Set the DIS RX/TX Port (for example 53000).

d. Next to main set the outgoing destination address for DIS packets (for example

255.255.255.255). Select broadcast or multicast.
