3. SOFTWARE OVERVIEW
3.1 MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT OPERATING SYSTEM
The C3 Maestro console for Windows NT product utilizes Microsoft’s Windows NT operating system software version
3.51 or later. This operating system was chosen primarily for its built-in graphical user interface (GUI) support, advanced
networking ability including server/client operation and PC-AT computer platform operating capability.
For a factory-new console system, Windows NT is installed on the PC’s hard disk drive by Ericsson or by an Ericsson-
approved vendor. In some cases, the Ericsson-approved vendor may also be the manufacturer of the personal computer.
Full
customer support cannot be guaranteed if the operating system software and/or the console application software are initially
installed by the customer.
Windows NT software configuration information presented in this manual is primarily intended to
educate the administrative personnel on the operating system set-ups accomplished at the factory and to provide guidance for
optional configurations which may be required or desired for the particular console installation.
