The RTS Plugin

Witness Canary supports integration with many different types of external systems through the use of plugins.

The RTS plugin file is entitled Witness.Plugin.RTS.dll and must be present in the Witness Plugin folder which is inside the main application folder. 

Configuring the RTS Plugin

When the plugin is installed and Canary starts, the plugin configuration settings are saved to the PluginConfiguration.xml file. This file is located in the Witness main application folder. To change the settings this file should be opened in a text editor, such as Notepad, however we would recommend an editor which is XML aware, such as Notepad++.

Once the file is open, locate the ICD001 section, as illustrated below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Config>
  <Plugins>
    <RtsInterface>
      <PluginConfig>
        <RtsServerPort>5000</RtsServerPort>
        <RtsServerIPAddress>10.0.9.250</RtsServerIPAddress>
        <SenderId>100</SenderId>
        <HeartbeatInterval>10</HeartbeatInterval>
        <SpeedFactor>1</SpeedFactor>
        <TagClassifications>
			<TagClassification TagId="124" Classification="Person" ReplacementTagId="45" />
			<TagClassification TagId="122" Classification="Vehicle" />
			<TagClassification TagId="120" ReplacementTagId="47" />
		</TagClassifications>
      </PluginConfig>
    </RtsInterface>
  </Plugins>
</Config>
