HOWTO Production System Startup

Feb 22, 2018

The production system is the designated Windows PC in the corner of the operations room.

Using Putty, login to the Linux VM 192.168.251.46

In the folder /opt/FEPSimulator launch 'runFEPSim'

The terminal should respond "Running FEP Simulator..." 

(Note: this didn't work for me on 02/25/2019.  I checked out the branch from svn and ran that one in my own account.)

On the Windows Desktop, launch 'CADserver - 2017'

On the Windows Desktop, launch 'ATMS Batch Driver'

Observe "Building network..." message, Wait about 20 seconds. The ATMS Batch Driver window will appear, and logging messages will appear in the Putty window. Within 30 seconds the traffic network display from the ATMS client should show green dots on all the highways.

On the Windows Desktop, launch 'Run SimManager'

In Sim Manager, load the desired script.

Start CAD Clients if desired.

If desired, On the Windows Desktop, launch 'ClockClient'

Click "Start" button in SimManager. A dialog will ask if you want to continue without Paramics, click 'Yes'. The simulation clock display should begin counting the elapsed seconds.
