HLA: Federate RID File
The RID file provides control parameters for the RTI software. The specified RID file
must be located in the “/usr/local/asti/rid” directory at runtime.
You can select a RID file that was previously uploaded to the system by clicking the “pick”
link next to the filename slot in the edit form. You can also simply type in the desired filename;
this is helpful if you know the RID file name, but have not yet uploaded the RID file itself. It is
not necessary to enter the full path to the RID file in this field.
If no RID file is specified, the RTI uses default values for its control parameters.
This file is NOT supplied by ASTi.
HLA: Federate Fed File
This field defines the Fed file that the system will use. The Telestra system is shipped
with multiple versions of the ASTi SOM pre-installed in the “/usr/local/
asti/fed” directory. You may also copy a custom SOM or FOM (in the fed file
format) to this directory.
You can select a Fed file that was previously uploaded to the system by clicking the “pick”
link next to the filename slot in the edit form. You can also simply type in the desired filename;
this is helpful if you know the Fed file name, but have not yet uploaded the Fed file itself. It is
not necessary to enter the full path to the Fed file in this field. Note: Any custom Fed file must
incorporate an official version of the ASTi SOM.
HLA: Federate Convert File
This field contains the name of the file that defines the data representations used by
the federate. The Telestra system is shipped with multiple versions of the conversion
files pre-installed in the “/usr/local/asti/fed” directory.
Each Fed file has a corresponding Convert file. The versions of the specified Fed file and Con-
vert file must match. The matching SOM version is evident in the name of the Conversion file.
It may be necessary to modify the data representations file, dependent on the specific FOM
being used.

You can select a Convert file that was previously uploaded to the system by clicking the
“pick” link next to the filename slot in the edit form. You can also simply type in the desired
filename; this is helpful if you know the Convert file name, but have not yet uploaded the Con-
vert file itself. It is not necessary to enter the full path to the Convert file in this field.
HLA: Federation
This field defines the federation that is joined when a “JOIN” command is used with-
out an argument, or the “Join at Startup” parameter is set to “yes”. Two federates
must be joined to the same federation to exchange information.
HLA: Federate
This field allows the user to specify the federate name. This name must be unique for
a given federation. If this field is empty, each system will automatically select a
unique name based upon the local IP address.
