Included with each Telestra platform is ASTi's Remote Management System (RMS) services software. With ASTi's Telestra RMS and a simple web browser, the user can monitor and manage local and networked ASTi resources (equipment, software, models), ranging from stand-alone to multi-site, exercise-wide configurations. The familiar point-and-click, web-based interface makes RMS easy to use.

RMS allows the user to:

• Quickly ascertain status of Telestra and DACS equipment along with all supporting ASTi hardware locally and across the network
• View and load model and configuration files locally and remotely over the network
• Remotely backup and restore files
• Navigate Telestra and DACS file systems, download and upload individual files for archive, redistribution, and easy file allocation
• Monitor system hardware, software, models, configuration, status and performance
• Remotely manage most network set-up and configurations
• Remotely restart/reboot systems
• View online error and status reports
• View equipment and software version
• Configure HLA communications environment parameters; upload and install RTI, FED, RID and conversion files for HLA; specify Federate settings
• Monitor, configure, check status and server-query SATCOM, HF, ALE and Terrain Database services products

RMS also includes the following additional applications:

• Model Builder model Documentation tool: generates a click-through, interactive PDF format document with graphical layout of any DACS model, host ICD, unconnected objects report, audio I/O layout and more
• Model Builder Virtual Screen Utility: Remote terminal feature provides remote viewing and modification of system application software environment and user models for up to 12 DACS units per Telestra system (feature accessible via direct Vid/KB connection to the Telestra unit only)

Additional features:

• Password protection
• Multicast routing capability for network traffic management
• Searchable, contextual help system with troubleshooting suggestions
• Online "Getting Started" tutorials for RMS and HLA

Note: DACS management via RMS is only supported in the 2-series Telestra software. Telestra MBV (3-series software) uses ASTi's USB-based audio distribution hardware instead of the DACS/TDM/RIU architecture. RMS3 provides monitoring and management capability for these USB devices.
