Printers
During normal dispatch operations, the C3 Maestro
console for Windows NT does not require any printer
access. However, printer access may be beneficial during
console set-up and/or troubleshooting periods to, for
example, print-out a message data log file generated by the
Communications Interface’s monitor. Also, if another
application is utilized on the console’s PC, printer access
may be required for this application. This access could
include a local printer connected to the PC’s parallel printer
port (for example: LPT1) and/or a remote network printer if
the computer is networked.
If printer access is required, refer to the Microsoft
Windows NT Workstation System Guide manual for
configuration information. Within Windows NT, printer
configurations are accomplished via Print Manager.
Typically, no printers are set-up at the factory — the default
printer is “NONE”.
Console Application-Related Advanced
Configuration
Refer to the C3 Maestro console for Windows NT
Administrator’s Manual (AE/LZB 119 1897), the UDS
Configurator User’s Manual (AE/LZB 119 1896), or the
other manuals indicated for detailed configuration
information on the following topics:
Start-Up Options
Various console application start-up options are
possible based on configurations performed within
Windows NT Program Manager and within the
Configuration Editor program. If changes from the factory
default start-up configuration are desired, refer to the
Administrator’s Manual for specific details. The start-up
options are:
•
Manual Dispatch Manager Start-Up with
Automatic GUI Start-Up (factory default)
•
Automatic Dispatch Manager and GUI Start-Up
after Windows NT User Log-On
•
Manual Dispatch Manager Start-Up and
Manual GUI Start-Up
•
Automatic Dispatch Manger Start-Up and No
(Local) GUI Start-Up After Windows NT User
Log-On
Changes Via The Configuration Editor Program
The Configuration Editor program is an off-line tool
which provides configuration functionality for the following
items. In most cases, configuration changes performed with
this program modify the various console application
initialization files.
NOTE
For the feature licensed options, configurations
performed by the Configuration Editor and the
UDS Configurator do not guarantee the configured
option(s) will operate; the respective software
license must be installed also. Refer to the section
entitled “Feature Licensed Options” (page 46) for
additional details.
•
Hardware Settings — Serial communication port
parameters and audio system-related settings may
be changed using the Configuration Editor. For
example, if the console interfaces to the CEC/IMC
via modems instead of an RS-422 serial data link, a
baud rate change to the PC’s serial communication
port utilized for CIM interfacing may be required.
•
Integrated Paging (feature licensed option) —
With integrated paging, tones are generated by the
console’s audio system hardware, not an external
paging tone encoder connected to it. For integrated
paging support, configuration accomplished via the
Configuration Editor includes manual and
preprogrammed button configuration. Manual
paging button configuration involves defining each
button’s paging code plan type and label text.
Preprogrammed paging button configuration
involves defining each button’s paging code plan
type, label text, specific code plan number and the
broadcast entity (conventional channel, trunked
group, etc.) number.
•
RSM/RTT Status Codes (feature licensed
option) — Using the Configuration Editor, the user
can construct and maintain a radio status code
database. This database is stored within an
initialization file. It is read by the UDS
Configurator during RSM and RTT module
additions. 128 unique status codes are available for
RSM/RTT operations.
•
Miscellaneous Settings — The Configuration
Editor provides configuration functionality for
several miscellaneous console settings such as the
Dispatch Manager’s start-up settings and digital
dispatch settings.
•
Entity Database Editor — The Configuration
Editor includes an entity editor which must be
utilized for entity database construction and
maintenance if the EDACS radio system does not
include a System Manager computer.
