Monitoring inbound/outbound MOS messages
Selecting M ONITOR from the MOS O PTION drop-down list displays the MOS Monitor page
(figure 7-10 ), which allows you to view the real-time inbound and outbound MOS messages
that are being communicated between the Xmedia Server (MOS Server) and the
Newsroom Control System (NCS).
The I NBOUND MOS MESSAGES column displays messages that originate from the NCS. The
messages communicate back to the MOS server any changes that were made to the NCS’s
running order (i.e. rundown). The MOS server can also initiate communication with the NCS
and its messages are displayed in the O
UTBOUND MOS MESSAGES section of the MOS
Monitor page. Note that although these communications are in real-time, the originating
system must wait for a response after sending each message.
