6 Basics of Configuration with NCM
To configure the CP you require the corresponding software package COM
5430 TF/COM 5431 FMS, simply called COM from now on, which can be
run on all PGs with S5-DOS Stage VI (or higher) or on PC/ATs with
S5-DOS Stage VI. The COM under SINEC
NCM
(
N
etwork and
C
ommunication
M
anagement) allows menu-controlled programming of all
the required parameters for the CP. A distinction is made between
parameters which do not depend on the type of data transmission (basic
configuring) and parameters which depend on the selected type of data
transmission. The documentation and test functions are explained in
Chapter 14.
This chapter introduces you to the basics of configuring, configuring the
individual types of data transmission is discussed in the chapters dedicated
to the specific type.
To familiarize you with handling the software package, the following topics
are introduced in this chapter:
➣ The structure of SINEC NCM and how to work with it.
➣ The structure of the COM screens and how to use them.
➣ The procedure for installing the software package.
➣ The structure and procedure for basic programming.
