'''Railway Operating Centre''', or '''R.O.C.''' (pronounced:  [ɑː(ɹ) əʊ ˈsiː] or [ɹɒk]). The ROC allows easy communication between [[SimSig:Signaller|Signallers]] and [[SimSig:Service Controller|Controllers]], breaking down each signalling area into their own channel. The ROC also allows private calls to be made between two users as required.
'''Railway Operating Centre''', or '''R.O.C.''' (pronounced:  [ɑː(ɹ) əʊ ˈsiː] or [ɹɒk]) is a web application used during the ''On Our Lines'' [[SimSig:Sessions|SimSig Sessions]]. It simulates a combination of a [[GSM-R]] and [[Connect Radio]] terminal, as well as a telephone concentrator. ROC allows easy communication between [[SimSig:Signaller|Signallers]], [[SimSig:Service Controller|Controllers]] and other 'non-playable characters' by automatically placing and routing phone calls between different users. It interfaces with [[Discord]] which provides the voice channel functionality.


The ROC is a web app that will switch users between different [[Discord]] channels depending on a number of factors. To use the ROC, and therefore to be able to fully communicate with all participants during a Session, a user must join the [[On Our Lines]] Discord server, and request the [[Discord#Roles|SimSig role]]. Once this is done, users can login to the ROC with their Discord ID, unlocking its functionality.  
ROC is an open source project released under the [https://opensource.org/license/mit MIT license], and the repository is available to view on [https://github.com/luxtonelectric/roc/issues GitHub]. It is maintained by the ''On Our Lines'' Community, and new contributors are always welcome! The code base is predominantly written in javascript, using the Vue and Nuxt frameworks.


Please note that ROC is still in its ALPHA stages, and is slightly unstable and has some bugs. ROC is an open source project released under the GPL-V3 licence. It's repository (and where you can contribute) will be made available again soon.
ROC can be used outside of our 'official' SimSig Sessions, however no support is provided and it will not be configured to your requirements. You will also not be able to access the Control roles or admin functionality. You are, however, more than welcome to set up your own instance of ROC.


ROC can be used outside of a SimSig session, however panel names cannot be adjusted and no support is given to users outside of the official sessions.

== Basic Usage ==
To use the Railway Operations Centre (ROC) you must first join the ''On Our Lines'' [[Discord]] server and claim the SimSig role. This will provide access to the SimSig voice channels which are used for ROC. You should then join the {{discord channel|#on-our-simsig-lobby}} voice channel, before navigating to ROC in your web browser of choice.
To enter into the ROC's system, you first must join the {{discord channel|#on-our-simsig-lobby}} voice channel on the [[Discord]] before heading over to the ROC in your browser.


Copy your Discord Username (click on your name next to the settings cog in the bottom left of Discord) and paste it into the box. Click the Join Game button. It must include the discriminator (the # followed by 4 numbers).
Authentication is via Discord - when you click log in, you will be asked to login to Discord (if you are not already) and then give ROC permission to use your account - this is just to let us move you around voice channels, and does not change anything else on your account.


You can set the panel you are working in the top right. Type in your panel name and click “Set Panel”

Railway Operating Centre, or R.O.C. (pronounced: [ɑː(ɹ) əʊ ˈsiː] or [ɹɒk]) is a web application used during the On Our Lines SimSig Sessions. It simulates a combination of a GSM-R and Connect Radio terminal, as well as a telephone concentrator. ROC allows easy communication between Signallers, Controllers and other 'non-playable characters' by automatically placing and routing phone calls between different users. It interfaces with Discord which provides the voice channel functionality.

ROC is an open source project released under the MIT license, and the repository is available to view on GitHub. It is maintained by the On Our Lines Community, and new contributors are always welcome! The code base is predominantly written in javascript, using the Vue and Nuxt frameworks.

ROC can be used outside of our 'official' SimSig Sessions, however no support is provided and it will not be configured to your requirements. You will also not be able to access the Control roles or admin functionality. You are, however, more than welcome to set up your own instance of ROC.

Getting Started[edit | edit source]

A dark grey screen with lime green text on it. R.O.C. is spelt out in ASCII art, with Railway Operations Centre underneath it. Below are details of the next SimSig Session, and beneath that four boxes with rounded edges. Each box contains the details of an individual simulation, including its name, connection details, available panels and whether the Sim is communicating with ROC or not.
The splash screen for ROC users are presented with before logging in.

To use the Railway Operations Centre (ROC) you must first join the On Our Lines Discord server and claim the SimSig role. This will provide access to the SimSig voice channels which are used for ROC. You should then join the #on-our-simsig-lobby voice channel, before navigating to ROC in your web browser of choice.

Authentication is via Discord - when you click log in, you will be asked to login to Discord (if you are not already) and then give ROC permission to use your account - this is just to let us move you around voice channels, and does not change anything else on your account.
