8.2.2 TeraHop Console
The THC is a software framework from which tools are selected. The console is a
framework for the management and access of network and application utilities. User
administrative rights and user authentications are controlled from within the Console.
Applications are installed and managed within the TeraHop Console as “add-ins.”
Applications that currently reside from within the Console include the RSN Configuration
Tool (RCT), the TeraHop Data Extraction Tool (TDX), and the RSN Configuration Viewer
(RCV). Additional administrative applications will be added as they become available.
The RSN Configuration Tool (RCT) is an application that resides within the TeraHop
Console (THC) on the Administration Station (ADMS) laptop computer. The RCT is used to
define and download the capabilities and processes that manage the functionality and
behavior of the Remote Sensor Nodes (RSNs) as they encounter conditions in the field.
The main purpose of the RCT is to configure the behaviors of each RSN. Configurations are
a full set of programmable RSN parameters including network management, behavior
profiles, and user data. To do this, two main areas within the ACT require configuration: the
configuration tree and the RSN. In addition, each RSN is shipped with a default
configuration. Each of these is defined further below.
• Factory Configuration (THN provided) contains the configuration parameters that the
RSN is shipped with when it arrives from the factory. The RSN will behave according to
these parameters unless configured otherwise: All sensors are turned off, No User Data,
and No behavior parameters.
