TMS6 RCU Ditto

There are 2 ways to ditto an RCU in TMS6. First, you can do it directly from the client. Simply go into the facility status screen and double click on the ditto icon. This will spawn a ditto window, then go to options and select Keypad to use the key’s if you need to get into the configuration menu to look at the configuration and/or make any changes.

 * Note: To get into the configuration menu: Press the zero (“0“) number key 5 times and then hit the Next Key



The other way if from the command line (Putty). The easiest way to go about this is to first grep out rcudittoserver:

$ ps -ef|grep rcudittoserver

This will display the name, protocol, and address of the RCU. For example, if I wanted to ditto Bay 1 from the following grep for rcudittoserver

tms6 27837 27274 0 Jun09 ? 00:00:00 /tms6/bin/rcudittoserver n=RACK1 p=S d=001




*Note: If rcuditto is not running, you can change directory to the /tms6/cfg directory and cat tms.cfg to see if it what is uses to start the rcuditto process up or you can go to the bay profile to look at the LC Name and Address it uses.


I would execute the following command:

$ rcuclient n=RACK1 p=S d=001
