MCC Main Windows
The MCC terminal provides eight main windows that display the basic processes of the MCC and the
consoles connected to it. Each window is a gateway through which information can be viewed and
actions taken. These windows can be minimized to the Icons window and can be closed except for the
Console Selection window.
Note: Generally, the MCC should not be shut down. If a problem occurs
that necessitates closing down the MCC, check with the MCC
administrator before continuing.
