Invoking setup and built-in error checking

When IRIS starts, it performs configuration and bounds checks.

For new users, the Setup parameters are typically correctly set and do not cause any configuration errors. If an error does occur, follow these steps.

  1. In the terminal window, type: setup&

    The Setup utility launches.

    There are 2 variants of the Setup utility: one for IRIS and one for the RDA (RVP signal processor or an RCP8 antenna controller).

    The RDA variant does not show the IRIS setup features.

  2. Select the part of the system setup you want to check or configure.
  3. Make your changes and close the window for the selected part of the system.
  4. Select File > Save.

    The configuration files are now updated.

  5. To create a listing file of the Setup configuration:
    1. Select File > List.

      A listing file called YYYYMMDDHHMM.setup is created in the ${IRIS_LISTINGS} directory.

  6. To take the configuration changes into effect, restart the application:
    1. For changes made to the Setup > IRIS section, restart the IRIS daemons by typing:
      qiris
      siris
    2. For changes to the Setup > RVP section, stop any running utilities with the command service <services> stop , for example:
      service iris rvp10 rcp8 stop
    3. Restart the utilities with the command service <services> start, for example:
      service iris rvp10 rcp8 start

      RVP has a configuration state accessible through dspx. Part of that state is local to the processor and part of it is also visible in Setup > RVP.

    4. For changes to the Setup > RCP section, in addition to the above, you must stop RCP8 (if you have one), and stop the antenna daemons, by typing:
      $ qiris
      $ sudo service rvp10 stop
      $ sudo service rcp8 stop 
      $ qant
      $ sudo service rcp8 start 
      $ sudo service rvp10 start 
      $ siris

      RCP8 has a configuration state accessible through Antx. These changes take effect when you return to the top level prompt. You must save your changes.

    License changes can affect RVP and IRIS.

  7. If an error list is displayed,
    1. Check the error list for parameters that you have customized and correct these customizations.
    2. Select Repair to make corrections that are necessary for the software but do not need to be customized for your operation.
    3. Select File > Save.
