Using TTY Setup Menus

You setup the configuration parameters interactively using the TTY.

The software configuration parameters are in the /etc/vaisala/irisrda/rcp8.conf file.

For information on the parameters, type: RCP > help view

  1. To change a parameter setting, see to the summary dialogs in RCP > help view to determine the general category in which the parameter appears.
  2. In the Main menu choose the general category. Type additional information and prompts as appropriate.

    The parameter values are displayed for each category and RCP pauses for the input.

  3. For each question, do one of the following:
    1. If the current value is correct, press ENTER.

      If a new value is required, enter the new value. Make sure you enter the numeric values in the proper physical units. For example, do not input the time in seconds if the question expects the time in minutes. RCP8 displays the expected units with each question.

      When you press ENTER, RCP8 echoes the new value to verify that it is correct.

      If the new value is correct, press ENTER again to proceed to the next parameter.

    2. If needed, type up or u to return a previous question.
    3. Type quit or q to exit a submenu and return to the RCP> prompt.
    4. Press ESC to exit the SETUP menus.

    When you have answered all the questions, RCP runs the new values and returns to the command prompt.

  4. Select another SETUP menu command or run RCP with its new settings to verify that the changes are correct.
  5. When you are satisfied with the changes, type SAVE.
