MCNConfig Program (MCNConfig Server.exe)
The MCNConfig program is used to configure an MCN system. System configuration involves:
1. Defining system resources in the Resource Windows, such as Network Interfaces, Hardware
Modules, Receiver Names, Channels, and Email Groups.
2. Designing the Display Windows to be displayed for the MCN Server and MCN Client
programs.
Resource Windows
The MCNConfig program will be used to define your system by entering data into the following
Resource Windows. (There is only one of each type of Resource Window for each system.)
 Network Interface Indicates which Network Interface is used for this system.
If you are using a HIB-IP unit, this is where you will enter the
IP and MCN address settings.
 Hardware Enter the information about the hardware modules
(CIBs, AIBs, IOBs, etc.) present in the system.
 Receivers Enter the site Names and Descriptions for all the receivers in the system.
 Channels Enter the names of the radio channels used in the system. Each channel can
have multiple hardware modules.
 Email Groups Enter the Email Groups & Recipients for alerts generated by the MCN
Server program.
 Display Tables Each type of device to be monitored and controlled will have a Display
Table. The Display Table maps the hardware I/O bits of the device into
status indications. The MCN Server software ships with the standard
Comparator Display Table and a number of generic I/O Display Tables. A
future release of the software will make it possible to create customized
status text displays (On/Off, Alarm,, Run/Normal, etc.) for any special
control and monitoring devices in your system.
Certain fields of the resource windows link to each other as shown by the arrows.
