This will bring up the full list of available Status Tables.
Finishing up the Import
After you have imported data and cleaned up various fields as described above, you'll need to do the
following:
Save the data (File Save)
Add new Display Window
Place Receivers & Labels in Display Window
Add Tabs in the Display Window if desired
Save the data (File Save)
Set up Sound Files if desired
The MCN Server program plays .WAV files for alarms. Various alarm sounds are included in the
\sounds directory under the working directory (typically c:\Program Files\CTI Products
Inc\McnRcd\sounds). The Import function will not convert the alert tones from your
MCNRCD.CFG file. (See Editing the fields on page 157 for details on editing the sounds to play
for alarm conditions.)
Display Window differences between the DOS and Windows programs
Display Grid
The old MCNRCD for DOS program used a fixed grid of 22 rows x 4 columns.
The new MCN Server program has user-settable grid size.
You can now fit more receivers in one Display Window.
Alternately, you can make the Display Window smaller if you wish.
Tabs vs. Screens
To see a new screen in the old program, you would load a new screen file.
The Display Window in the new program lets you switch between "screens" quicker.
In the new Config program you can also create multiple Display Windows for use by different users.
For Technicians, build all your desired screens as tabs in one Display Window.
