Chapter 3: Starting and Stopping the Telestra System

Telestra runs the Linux operating system, and must be started—and more importantly shut

down—in the correct manner.

Starting Telestra

To start the unit, apply power via the front mounted on/off switch. The unit will boot-up and run

the Telestra software as background processes.

The user may log into the system and edit ﬁles from virtual consoles 2, 4, 5, or 6; console 1 is

used for the Telestra Conﬁguration Utility (see Chapter 5: Initial Network Conﬁguration), and

console 3 is reserved for the Model Builder Virtual Screens utility (see the RMS Setup Tutorial in

Chapter 7).

To switch to a particular console, press and hold the ALT key, and then press the corresponding

function key (F1 through F6). For example, the user may switch to the second console by pressing

ALT+F2.

In versions 1.6 and later, the Telestra federate software runs as a background process and may be

accessed only through the remote control interface. The Telestra system comes with a host emula-

tor utility to allow the user to test the remote interface on Telestra. Chapter 8 provides detailed

information on the remote control interface and the host emulator utility.

System Shutdown

Local

The system can be rebooted and shutdown by selecting the “Reboot” or “Shutdown” button in the

Telestra Conﬁguration Utility (see Chapter 5).

Alternately, the Linux command “shutdown -h now” may be entered from a console screen

to power down the system. The user must log in as “root” in order to use this command.

Wait until the screen display reads “Power down” before turning the power switch off.

Remote

The system can be rebooted and shutdown via the RMS web interface, through links in the Man-

agement section. It is also possible to shutdown and reboot the system via remote control over the

network. See Chapter 8 for more details on remote control of Telestra.
