The Configure Tracking Bands dialog must be complete before a drone can be tracked. See Configure Tracking Bands. Click the toolbar’s Create a mask button to activate the Mask Generation that has been set up in the Configure Tracking Bands dialog. Check the bottom left corner of the screen to verify the RSMs are preprocessing as the field toggles from idle to processing through each of the probe combinations.
In this tracking example, we use the Simulator program that is described in section AeroShield Simulator Control. When the Simulator program is loaded and first opened, their are 24 probes (maximum amount) listed in the RSM Monitors window and shown in the map area. Each of the 24 RSM markers on the map correspond to the 24 listed in the remote monitors window as shown in Figure: Initial AeroShield API Software Setup.

Set Up the IP Address and Port Identification
To use the Simulator, enter the appropriate IP address. Use 127.0.0.1 for each simulated RSM. This IP address always refers back to the PC running the software. When using live RSMs, always start with port 9001. This is the port the RSMs listen on for command and control.
When using the simulator, set the port numbers to consecutive values, starting at 9001. For example, the first simulated RSM will be at port number 9001, the second at port 9002, the third at 9003 through the maximum allowed to the 24th simulated RSM at port 9024.
