5. Designing and Ordering a System
The following procedures should be followed when designing and ordering an MCN system.
Step Operation
1 Determine the type of comparator in the system: Spectra-TAC, DIGITAC
TAC, or ASTRO-TAC comparator or Ericsson / GE analog voters.
2 Determine the total quantity of comparators in the system.
3 Determine how many receivers are connected to each comparator.
4 Determine the type and quantity of operator interface required (PC or
console based).
5 For console-based systems, determine the number of I/O cards, operator
interface modules, and I/O programming options required. Order these
items from your console vendor.
For instance, in Motorola Centracom Series II consoles, B1426 Modules
are required in the Central Electronics Bank (CEB) for every 4 receivers
and B1439 Comparator Display Modules are required for button and LED
consoles for every 4 receivers.
6 Follow the intructtions in the Designing an MCN system section.
