Server Overview
The MCN Advanced Server connects between

The server accepts control commands (Force-
Vote, Disable, Open, Run, Stop, etc.) from the
remote clients and sends them on to the
modules on the MCN network.
The server supports multiple clients and
multiple network interfaces (NIs).
System Configuration
The common system configuration information
(Receiver names, Module addresses, channel
information, display screen configuration,
output functions, etc.) resides in the server and
is user-configured with the MCN Config
program.
The display screens can be user-defined with
various numbers of rows and columns and a
number of tabs. Multiple screens can be
defined for different users. (Police Dispatch,
Fire Dispatch, Technicians) Individual client
PCs can be limited to specific screens if
desired.
