NOTE
Typically, API message logging is only required during troubleshooting/diagnostic purposes. As the size of the log
file can become excessive during extended console operational periods, logging should either be disabled prior to
console start-up (recommended) or disabled via menu selection within the Dispatch Manager soon after the console
is started. Typically, the only exception to this is when an log file must be generated over an extended period of time
for troubleshooting/diagnostic purposes.
The contents of the API message log file may be viewed and/or printed with any text editor. However, if the console
application is running, disable logging via menu selection within the Dispatch Manager before opening the log file with a text
editor. Failure to do this may result in failure of the console application software. Contents of the API message log file is
beyond the scope of this manual.
6.2.2.3.3 Module Transmit Mode Follows Call Mode Enable/Disable
If the Module Follows Call Mode check box is checked (enabled), a console module’s transmit voice mode
(digital/private or analog) will follow the mode of the last received call to the module. The module automatically switches
between digital/private and analog transmit voice modes per the voice mode of the last received call. Digital/Private-to-analog
console transmit voice mode toggling may still be accomplished by the console’s <PVT> key/button. This is a global setting
that affects all modules.
If the check box is cleared (disabled), the received call voice mode is ignored and digital/private-to-analog console
transmit voice mode toggling may be accomplished by the console’s <PVT> key/button. Again, this is a global setting that
affects all modules.
6.2.2.3.4 All Modules Private Enable/Disable
If the All Modules Private check box is checked (enabled), all manually-programmed modules are initially set for
digital/private console transmit voice mode operation at console application start-up, at a setup change, and at initial module
programming. This occurs even if modules were set for analog (clear voice) operation when the setup was last saved. This is a
global setting that affects all modules.
If not checked, all manually-programmed modules are initially set for analog console transmit voice mode operation. At
console start-up, modules are programmed according to their previously saved console transmit voice mode. Again, this is a
global setting that affects all modules.
6.2.2.3.5 Module Quick Save Enable/Disable
If the Module Quick Save check box is checked (enabled), manually-programmed module programming information is
saved to the PC’s hard disk drive immediately as each programming operation (add, delete, modify) is completed by the user.
If this check box is cleared (disabled), data is not saved until a save action is performed via the console’s <Save Setup>
button. This setting may be desired if a temporary module programming change is desired without changing the permanent
module programming setup saved on the hard disk drive.
6.2.2.3.6 Default Home Site For Groups
The number entered in the Default Home Site text box specifies the initial home site for all groups before a unit entity
database download/transfer is received by the console. Since this information is not available in a downloaded/transferred
group entity database, the Dispatch Manager must determine each group’s home site based upon home group and home site
settings in the unit entity database.
This determination is performed as follows: As each unit entity record is received by the console during a unit entity
database download/transfer, the Dispatch Manager updates the group entity database record of the unit’s home group with the
unit’s home site. Because some groups may not be used as home groups in the unit entity database, all groups’ home sites may
not be determinable via this method. In this case, the Default Home Site setting is utilized. The entered number should be
the number of the site utilized for primary dispatch operations by the console. The valid range for this number is 1 to 32 and
the factory default setting is 1.
