4.2.2 MCN Screen Files <filename>.MSF
Each screen that you want to display requires a MCN Screen File (.MSF). The
MCN Screen Files include the following:
•
Module address of the HIB
•
Which MCN Groups to display (up to 4)
•
Screen Name
•
Channel Title information
•
Receiver Placement on the screen
You can make multiple MCN Screen Files that all use the same GCF
configuration files if all your receivers won’t fit on one screen. You can use
multiple screens to break down the receivers into a logical grouping of channels
(Police, Fire, Maintenance, etc.).
The program will handle up to 50 MCN Screen Files.
4.2.3 Module Configuration Files <filename>.MCF
Each module in a GCF file has variable information associated with it. This
module information is entered using the Module Config command under the Edit
menu. The Module Configuration File includes the following:
•
Module descriptions
•
Status text categories assigned to each module
The MCF file is automatically created when a GCF file is saved. The filename
used for the MCF file is the same as the GCF filename.
4.2.4 Modem Configuration File (MODEM.INI)
The Modem Configuration File includes commands specific to the particular
modem being used. This file and its entries are described in section 10.
4.2.5 Remote Comparator Display Configuration File (MCNRCD.INI)
This file holds the Error Logging settings that are selected in the MCNRCD
program. The MCNRCD program reads this file on start-up and uses those error
logging options. MCNRCD automatically updates this file whenever you change
Logging options (Status/Error).
4.2.6 MCN Error Log File (MCNERR.LOG)
This file holds Error log entries in ASCII text form. Selectable file size range of 1
to 10 MB via the command line option switch: /En ( n = 1 to 10). Default size is
1 MB. Each error log entry uses 107 bytes. A warning indication is given on each
log when the MCNERR.LOG file reaches 90% full. At 100% capacity, the error
log file will automatically be rebuilt down to 50% of the command line option
switch (/En) file size The most recent error logs will make up this reduced file.
See section 7.6.1 for more details.
