Interfacing to IP Comparators
You will use the MCN Config Server to enter information about your IP comparators and their receivers
into the MCN system data files. You will need to know different information for the GCM 8000 and
MLC 8000 Analog Comparators as described in the next sections. You will need the data on both the
GCM 8000 and MLC 8000 Analog Comparators if you are using them in a Mixed Mode Voting
Solution.
GCM 8000 Comparator Interfacing
The GCM 8000 comparator can handle up to 64 receivers, connected over IP. The GCM 8000
Comparator has 64 fixed slots or ports for the receivers that connect to it. as shown in the CSS screen
shot below:
When a GCM 8000 comparator is added in MCN Config Server software, the program allocates entries
for 64 receivers for the comparator in the Receiver Window. These receivers map directly to the 64 slots
in the GCM 8000 comparator as shown in the SubSite Num field in the above screen shot
The Aliases in the CSS software are used for the technician's convenience to keep track of the BRs
connected to the GCM 8000. The receiver names must be entered in the MCN Config Server software.
The GCM 8000 CSS does not support the Windows Copy command, so you will have to enter the
Aliases for the Subsites (BRs or Receivers) into the Receiver Window by hand.
