System / Configuration List

Introduction

The Administrator System / Configuration data includes the following:

  • built-in properties that configure the system
  • configuration properties and command options for system processes
  • system-specific properties
  • properties unique to this node if a system has multiple nodes

Configuration List

The System / Configuration List menu item displays the system configuration list.

Configuration List (see full-size image)

The configurations page conforms to a layout similar to many data types which includes a list of data items. See List Features and Application Functionality for more information detailing page navigation; adding, copying and deleting configurations; and modifying existing configurations.

Configuration List Properties

The following table lists NovaStar configuration properties. A property may include options if the property is associated with a system process.

Descriptive Name Property Name                                                       Description Default
50386_data_collection 50386 data collection
50386_port 50386 port
alarms_enable Alarms enable
alert_data_collection ALERT data collection
Data Collection Source alert_port# Configuration for nsrecdata program running on a port, which listens for ALERT, ALERT2, simple comma-separated-value data, and custom NovaStar specification. To enable running a program, define a property with a name starting with alert_port and ending with a unique integer, typically 1, 2, etc. for systems with less than 10 data collection sources (line numbers) or 01, 02, etc for systems with > 10 data collection sources. This property includes options for the nsrecdata program. The value should be of the form:
  • /dev/... - path to serial port device if decoding data from a serial port
  • 1.2.3.4:port# - IP address and port number if decoding data from an internet address, where a specific IP address can be used, for example if listening to a repeater or Digi devide, or 0.0.0.0 when listing to direct radio transmissions from multiple stations
 If not defined, nsrecdata data collection programs do not run.
