Internal Parameters

Proto-

colID

Type Default Value

string n/a

Description: Optional configuration for when you have a non-

ASTiNet radio. DIS is currently the only supported protocol.

The syntax for setting up a DIS radio is the string format of

‘DIS:site.app.entity.radio’ or ‘DIS:entity.radio’ or ‘DIS:radio’. If

the site and app are excluded from the string, the radio environment

will assign the default site and app from the DIS file in the Domain

Editor. If entity is excluded, the radio environment will assign a ran-

dom/unique number entity ID for the radio. This can also be set in

the Radio Helper. This must be unique within the DIS network.

For example: DIS:100.100.1.1 will set:

Site=100, App=100, Entity=1, and Radio=1

In the Satellite component, the protocol ID affects the DIS ID of the

temporary transmitters setup to retransmit the signal.

WorldPo-

sitionBus

Type Default Value

id unassigned

Description: Optional configuration which allows for a Satellite to

be assigned to a world position bus. If undefined, the Satellite will

default to X,Y,Z = 0,0,0. Alternatively if an entity exists on the DIS

network that matches the Site.App.Entity ID within the Protocol ID

field of the Satellite, the Satellite will inherit that entity’s world

position information. When a Bus name is defined the Satellite will

be located (X,Y,Z) based on the Platform position component which

is tied to the same Bus name used in conjunction with the Platform/
