Selecting Host Adapt activates a function that can be used to match the host unit
band and sub-band with the remote unit.
To set the Host Unit Band and Sub-Band to match the Remote Unit
1. From the Tools menu, select Host Adapt.
2. In response to the warning dialog shown in Figure 53, click on Ye s . For nor-
mal operation, the host unit and remote unit must be set to the same band and
sub-band.
NOTE: The only practically possible reason you would ever have to answer No to
this dialog is if a new remote unit being installed for an existing system was spec-
ified incorrectly and thus does not match the existing system band and sub-band.
In such a case, as soon as you hook up the remote unit, you will get a Hardware
Mismatch error (see Table 10: Host Major Alarms When Faulted on page 69).
Forcing the host unit to adapt to the wrong band and sub-band in this situation
would result in loss of some existing values for logical channels such as FCC
channel numbers and gain settings.

4.1.5 Window Menu
The Window menu, at any moment in time, contains an item for each EMS
window currently open, either in displayed or minimized form. Clicking on an
item causes the corresponding window to come to the foreground (with respect to
other displayed windows).
The Window menu always contain two items, NOC-NEM Terminal and Alarm
Overview because these windows are always open. Figure 54 shows an example
of a Window menu containing an additional item for a host/remote pair. Table 7
describes the menu items.
