Prepare your PC

If an earlier version of DAS Radio Agent is already running on your TRBOnet PC, stop it first:

1. From the Windows → Run menu, type services.msc and press Enter.
2. Find the service named DAS Radio Agent. If it is Running, right-click it and choose Stop.

Run the installer

1. Find the DAS Radio Agent installer file you downloaded.
2. Right-click the file and choose Run as Administrator.
3. Click through the installation dialogs, entering configuration data as prompted.

Two of those dialogs need information you gathered earlier.

Configuration name	Description	Example
DAS API Address	Your EarthRanger website URL	https://demo.pamdas.org
Authentication Token	A long secret value	dEQ3onfQGkw1hLhsAo0FY3QSxIElWp
DAS Source Provider Key	A simple name	seattle-trbonet

Configuration name	Description
TRBOnet Host	The PC where TRBOnet is installed. If you are installing on the same PC where TRBOnet is running, set this to localhost.
TRBOnet Username	Leave as admin
TRBOnet Password	Leave as admin

Click through the remaining dialogs. When setup completes, the service will be running.

Administration and troubleshooting

DAS Radio Agent has no user interface, but there are a few things you can do to monitor and troubleshoot it.

View the log files

The software is installed to C:\Vulcan\DasRadioAgent and writes to a log file named dasradioagent.log. Open it with any text editor.

Restart the service

Open the Windows Services Management Console (services.msc), find DAS Radio Agent, right-click, and choose Restart.

Verify configuration

Configuration is stored at C:\Vulcan\DasRadioAgent\settings.ini.

Take care editing this file

Saving settings.ini with invalid information will disable the DAS Radio Agent service. Read it if you need to; edit it only if you are certain.
