By default, after start of EasySATSystem.exe, the program looks in this <easysatsystem_config_dir> di-
rectory for the required configuration file EasySATSystem.ini. However, a different directory can be speci-
fied by setting the environment variable EASYSATSYSTEM_CONFIG_DIR accordingly.
The data captured by the decoders will be stored in a subdirectory referred to as <easysatsys-
tem_data_dir>):
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\WAVECOM\W61PC\Data-Output\Inmarsat[Card SN]
By default, the <easysatsystem_data_dir> directory will be used to store statistical data files (if logging
has been enabled, see below). Again, a different directory can be specified by setting the environment va-
riable EASYSATSYSTEM_DATA_DIR accordingly.
User privileges are sufficient to modify including delete the subdirectories \Config and \Data as well as
their respective contents.
In order to have „EasySatSystem‟ working properly, the 'XML Remote Control Interface' port has to be
opened on each PC hosting managed W61PC cards. This is done as follows:
1. Open Control Panel
2. Open Windows Firewall
3. If the On button is set, then clear the “Don't allow exceptions” checkbox
4. Select the Exceptions tab
5. Click on Add Port… and give a name and set the port number to the default value of 33234, or to
the value you have specified in the tab Networking Information of the W61PC WavecomServer-
Control GUI
6. For test purposes, it might also be necessary to open the port for the GUI of W61PC (default value
of 33233)
Furthermore, on each PC hosting W61PC cards to be coordinated, the respective WavecomService must be
running and allow remote connections. In order to allow remote connections to a WavecomService, check
the box Allow Remote Connections in the tab Networking Information of the respective W61PC Wa-
vecomServerControl GUI.
Setup
'EasySatSystem' can run on any PC under the Microsoft Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 operating sys-
tem. If cards on more than one PC must be coordinated, then the PCs must be connected via a network.
'EasySatSystem' must be told somehow which PCs hosting which W61PC cards it must coordinate. This is
done with the configuration file EasySATSystem.ini, which, by default, needs to be located in the directory
<easysatsystem_config_dir>. An alternative location can be specified by means of the environment varia-
ble EASYSATSYSTEM_CONFIG_DIR.
