Configuring System Resources
The first step in configuring a system is configuring the Resources in the four Resource Windows:
Network Interface Window
Add IP Comparators and configure their IP parameters,
.
Add HIB-IP Network Interfaces (for legacy MCN systems), configure their parameters, and
program the HIB-IP units,
Display other MCN Legacy Network Interface(s) (PCLTA, or HIB-232 modules if used).
Hardware Window
Enter additional information for IP Comparators,
Add Legacy MCN comparator (CIB & AIB) modules and I/O Modules and configure their MCN
addresses.
Receiver Window
Enter the receiver names & I/O group names and other data for all hardware modules.
Channel Window
Enter radio channel names.
The individual resource windows and configuration instructions are in the following sections.
Adding IP Comparators & Network Interfaces - Network Interface Window
This window displays the following items configured for this system:
IP Comparator IP configuration data
Legacy MCN Network Interfaces (HIB-IP, PCLTA and HIB-232 modules)
From this window, you can also configure the IP settings for a HIB-IP module (if used).
The number of IP comparators and legacy Network Interfaces that can be used by the system are
controlled by the software key file.
The legacy Network Interfaces (HIB-IP, PCLTA) can connect to multiple legacy MCN
hardware modules (such as CIB, AIB and GPIO modules).
The GCM 8000 and MLC 8000 Analog Comparator Network Interface entries are each
associated with one comparator.
The MM Mixed Mode Network Interface is associated with both a GCM 8000 and an MLC
8000 Analog Comparator.
