Call Director patch
The Call Director patch feature allows the dispatcher at a console to
"patch" a telephone line to a specific unit, talk group, conventional
channel, or radio patch in the CEC/IMC network. The term patch or
patched, derived from phone patch, is used to signify the CD is
connected to the CEC/IMC. A Call Director patch should not be
confused with a radio-type patch in which a collection of radio talk
groups are interconnected for common communications as one group.
(See patch ("soft"/console).) The console uses a secondary LID
(Logical ID) for the patch channel requests, thus allowing CD patch
operation to work separately from, and concurrently with, the normal
console-to-radio dispatch communications.
CAM
Centralized Activity Module – The CAM is a CEC/IMC interface
module that provides call activity information to the Centralized
Activity Logger (CAL) computer. Usage and billing information can
be generated with the CAL through the CAM link.
Causeway patch
The Causeway patch feature allows a conventional channel to be
patched directly to a trunked talk group via the trunked group's
Group ID (GID) number. All conventional channels in a CEC/IMC
can be Causeway patched. Causeway patches are setup and
deactivated at the CEC/IMC Manager, not consoles. Consoles and
trunked sites in the CEC/IMC network know nothing about
Causeway patches, except the respective GID number. This feature
was previously referred to as "hard patch." (Also see patch
("soft"/console).)
Causeway simulselect
The Causeway simulselect feature allows a conventional channel to
be simulselected to a trunked talk group via the trunked talk group's
Group ID (GID) number. All conventional channels in a CEC/IMC
can be Causeway simulselected. Causeway simulselects are setup
and deactivated at the CEC/IMC Manager, not consoles. Consoles
and trunked sites in the CEC/IMC network know nothing about
Causeway simulselects, except the respective GID number. This
feature was previously referred to as "hard simulselect." (Also see
simulselect ("soft"/console).)
CCI Board
Conventional Control Interface Board - This is a CEC/IMC
Controller Board configured for use in the CIA rack. It provides
master CI Board control. The control data port that connects the CIA
rack to the VMIM is also located on the CCI Board. (Also see CI
Board.)
