4.5 APR Server

4.5.1 Overview

The Automatic Positioning Reporting Server (APR) is used to gather

information on all the VMT’s within the ArcLight system. This

information is used primarily for FCC license compliance by

determining the number of VMT’s on at a given time and to provide

positioning information for all the VMT’s if a satellite interference issue

is suspected in the system. It has the secondary application of being

able to analyze usage patterns within the system and also confirm that

the system is not operational in radio quiet zones.

4.5.2 Creating APRSERVER Service

4.5.2.1 Service Necessity

The APR Server uses a windows service application that is essentially a

“wrapper” for any Windows application. It lets the application run

undisturbed as a service and re-starts the application on boot-up of the

machine, so user intervention is not necessary for the application to

run.

4.5.2.2 Obtaining the Srvany Application

The srvany wrapper is a Microsoft application. The srvany files may be

retrieved from the ArcLight Hub Software Installation media.

Srvany.exe – Service application wrapper

Instsrv.exe – Install services for srvany to run

Srvany.wri – Documents all you can do with the srvany program

Create a c:\srvany directory. Put these three files into the c:\srvany
