Motorola CENTRACOM 6880801D90-D - Manual (Page 32)

3-2 Gold Series™ Elite Inbound Event Display
Install Broadcast Message Router (BMR)
This manual assumes that each subnet is set up as specified in the
CENTRACOM PC Software Installation User’s Guide.
The BMR allows messages to be relayed between subnets. In the CDM,
the Broadcast Message Router Configuration (BMRC) allows system
administrators to designate machines on their network.
Observe these installation and configuring notes before installing the
BMR:
• The BMR is recommended to be installed on the same local LAN as
the Inbound Event Display operator positions.
Warning: Running more than one BMR within a subnet will slow or
crash that subnet.
• If there is more than one subnet, then exactly one BMR must be
installed on each subnet. Installers must determine how many
subnets are in the system and must identify an appropriate machine
on each subnet for the BMR. However, loading the BMR onto the
same machine as the CDM may slow the performance on that
machine. In addition, a busy BMR on an Elite workstation may
influence the performance. If a Dispatch User Interface is to be run
on a BMR PC, the login on that PC must be the same as the account
that PC's BMR is configured.
• Host names or IP addresses can be used but IP addresses are strongly
recommended.
• BMR IP addresses or host names must be entered into all CDMs if
more than one CDM is present for multi-zone systems. So, keep a list
of all assigned BMR IP addresses or host names for later input into
the CDM BMRC screen.
