3.5 FURTHER TSC CONFIGURATION
The TSC configuration consist of three parts:
S User role configuration (see section 3.5.1)
S Runtime settings (see section 3.5.2)
S Groundstation list (see section 3.5.3)
3.5.1 User Role Configuration
This section gives an overview of the TSC user role configuration. The user role configuration doesn’t
belong to the configuration described in section 3.4.
The TSC can be started in two different modes (user roles) depending on the account, the user has
logged in:
S Monitor User Mode
S Supervisor Mode
In the Monitor User Mode, the current status of the Ground Station can be monitored and a few opera-
tional parameters can be set. The Supervisor User Mode grants full access to all parameters of the
Ground Station.
The configuration files for these two modes are located in the configuration directory (.
tsc_config)
of the TSC which is located under
/usr/local/tsc.
The following naming convention applies to the configuration files:
[role]_user.conf
Considering only the roles Supervisor and Monitor, there are two files:
S supervisor_user.conf
S monitor_user.conf
During the start sequence of the TSC, the application is looking for a file in the
.tsc_config directory
with the following pattern:
<current username>.conf
For the default user ‘monitor’ (of the group monitor) there is a link monitor.conf which is pointed to
the file monitor_user.conf. For the default user ‘supervisor’ (of the group supervisor) there is a link
supervisor.conf which points to the file supervisor_user.conf.
For example, if the user ‘smith’ starts the TSC, the software will look for the file smith.conf. If this file
does not exist, the application will use the monitor_user.conf file, instead.
To change the role of user ’smith’ from a monitor user to a supervisor just go to the
.tsc_config
directory and create a symbolic link named smith.conf pointing to supervisor_user.conf:
ln −s supervisor_user.conf smith.conf
That is the way, how the user roles can simply be assigned to the corresponding users. Only the users
of the group supervisor may get write permission to the
/usr/local/tsc and the .tsc_config direc-
tories.
