Figure 6 shows two radio channels, each with its own voters and BRs. For each of the channels:
•
The top horizontal rectangles show the:
Voter ID (Device Id field)
VGU IP Address (Device IP field)
Channel Name (Channel Name field)
•
The vertical rectangles shows the:
AGU Port IDs (Device ID Field)
Receiver Names (BR Subsite field)
Note that the Channel IDs (2809 & 8201) correspond to the VGU IDs.
Copying and Pasting from the MMC_Config file
There is no automatic import of the data from the MMC_Config.csv file into the MCN Server 8000
system configuration files. You can, however, open the MMC_Config.csv file in Excel and copy &
paste the information into the fields in the Receiver Window in MCN Config Server:
MMC_Config Field Receiver Window Field
Device ID (for BRs / Receivers) MLC ID
BR Subsite Name
BR Name Description (for general reference)
Here are a few things to consider when copying the data into the system configuration files in MCN
Config::
•
Be sure that the Subsites are in the right order.
If they are not, you can copy the Subsite values and names one at a time.
•
If you have a Mixed Mode system, make sure that the Subsites are in the order that matches the
BR Subsite order in the GCM 8000 comparator. If they are not, you can copy the Subsite
values and names one at a time.
•
The Subsite Names in the MMC_Config.csv file might not be in the format that you want
displayed. You may have to edit these values for the user in MCNConfig Server.
•
You can include the AGU IP Address and Port number in the Description field in the Receiver
Window. This can be helpful for error logging and troubleshooting.
MLC 8000 Analog Comparator Data for multiple radio channels
The MLC 8000 Analog Comparator CT software can store data for up to 4 channels in a Channel
Cluster.
If your system has more than 4 radio channels using MLC 8000 Analog Comparators, you will need to
save the system data in groups of 4 radio channels. You will need to open separate MMC_cfg.csv files
for each channel cluster.
