4.3 Transmitter Monitoring (TIB) Enable Switch
(CIB Versions 105 and greater)
The transmitter monitoring enable switch allows the CIB to operate with any
MCN family module that provides monitoring and control of transmitter steering,
such as the MCN TSAM Interface Module (TIB). Table 4 lists the functions and
positions of this switch. Refer to section 3.5 for more information about
transmitter status monitoring and control. If you enable the Transmitter
Monitoring feature, be sure to connect a TIB module which is properly addressed,
otherwise the CIB will have erratic operation.

4.4 Force-Vote Timeout Switch
(CIB Versions 110 and greater)
If you are using a dial-up connection to the MCN system and the modem
disconnects when you are force-voting a receiver, the CIB would not see the
“Release” message from the PC. This would force the system to continuously
vote the force-voted receiver.
The Force-Vote Timeout switch enables a 60-second timeout for all the Force-
Vote (Monitor) lines. This feature was added in CIB version 110. The 60-second
timeout is used to limit the time that a receiver may be force-voted. If you lose a
connection during a force-vote, the system will revert to normal in 60 seconds
maximum. It is recommended that this switch be UP to enable the timer in all
systems unless you need a continuous Force-Vote for longer than 60 seconds.
