PC Client Display Overview
The Client PC display features real-time status monitoring and
control of the modules on the MCN network. The client display
opens a display screen from the server and accepts status
updates from it.
Control functions such as Force-Vote or Disable for
comparators, Open for doors or Run/Stop for generators are
passed to the server for processing.
Local Display
The server software includes local display & control capability.
Receiver Failure and Error Logging
The MCNRCD Server software can log receiver failures and
other user-defined errors. The error log can aid in diagnosing
intermittent receivers or phone lines. Logging can be sent to:
• PC
Screen
• Disk
• Printer
• Email
Multiple Network Interfaces
The MCN Advanced Server can support multiple network
interfaces. It can connect to a local network using an internal
PCLTA card and remote networks using the external HIB-232
or HIB-IP network interface units.
Multiple remote comparator sites can be connected over an IP
infrastructure using multiple remote HIB-IP units.
Complex System Support
The MCN Advanced Server can work with the full range of
MCN modules. EXB Network Extenders can be used in
complex systems to link remote comparator or alarm sites via
analog lines, asynchronous serial channels, microwave, T1 /
E1, WAN IP or fiber networks.
