C3 MAESTRO POWER-UP
PROCEDURE
❏
Refer to the C3 Maestro Console System
maintenance manual, LBI-39062 or LBI-39100
(sub-manual LBI-39055 or LBI-39101
respectively), for a recommended C3 Maestro
power-up procedure. The appropriate manual is
provided with the console equipment package.
C3 ADVANTAGE DATABASE
CONFIGURATION
OVERVIEW
LID And GID Databases
As in any EDACS trunked system, two (2) primary
EDACS databases
must
be set-up in the C3 Advantage
dispatch system before communications can occur: the unit
(individual) database and the group database. Unit and
group databases are configured by defining Logical ID
(LID) and Group ID (GID) entities respectively.
If the C3 Advantage dispatch system is not equipped
with a System Manager (optional equipment), LID and GID
configuration must be performed at each C3 Maestro
console using the Editor program before console
communication with a particular LID or GID is possible.
This program (EDITOR.EXE) is included with the C3
Maestro's application software.
If a System Manager is present LID and GID
configuration may be performed at the System Manager and
then transferred to the C3 Maestro console(s) using the CEC
Manager's "upload" options.
Site Database
If the EDACS trunked site is equipped with a Site
Controller – for example, an EDACS Level 1 system – and a
System Manager (optional equipment), the site database
stored in the Site Controller may be reconfigured from the
factory default configuration. An EDACS site can be
configured for maximum performance using this method.
If the EDACS site is not equipped with a Site Controller
– for example, a EDACS Basic system – no site database
exists. In this case where the site operates in failsoft mode at
all times, minimal call validation and all basic site functions
are handled by the station GETCs.
NOTE
At this point in the set-up process, the databases
should be configured as needed. Proceed to either
the "
WITHOUT SYSTEM MANAGER
"
configuration or the "
WITH SYSTEM
MANAGER
" configuration that follows.
WITHOUT SYSTEM MANAGER
LID And GID Databases
As previously stated, unit (LID) and group (GID)
entities in a "System Manager-less" C3 Advantage dispatch
system must be set-up at a C3 Maestro console utilizing the
Editor program. From the Editor's "
Edit Entity
Database
" option, LID and GID entities can be entered
for dispatch operations. Editor program version 3.1x
supports 2000 total entities (LIDs and GIDs) and version 4.x
supports a total of 4000 entities.
❏
Refer to the EDACS C3 Maestro Console System
Editor Program user's manual, LBI-39056. Set-up
the required LID and GID entities at each console
via the Editor's "
Edit Entity Database
"
screen. Figure 1 shows a typical screen. Note the
following:
•
LID and GID numbers are entered in the
"
__ID_
" column (fields). Entered numbers
must correspond to numbers programmed into
the radio units, other consoles, etc.
•
In the "
TYPE
" column, portable, mobile and
desk top station radios are specified by a "
U
"
for units, conventional channels are specified
by a "
C
", Call Director patch telephone lines
are specified by a "
T
" and consoles are
specified by an "
X
". Talk groups (GID entities)
are specified by a "
G
".
•
For units operating on the EDACS trunked site
("
TYPE
" = "
U
"), set the home group to "
0
"
and home site as required via the "
HGROUP
"
and "
HSITE
" columns respectively. The home
site number should match the site's "Site ID"
number which should also be equal to the
MIM's site assignment number.
