LBI-39224 1. CHAPTER 1 GETTING STARTED 1.1 ABOUT CEC/IMC MANAGER V5.0 Starting with release (version) 5.0 the CEC/IMC Manager is a 32 bit Windows NT application. To provide remote management capability the architecture of the CEC/IMC Manager is Client/Server. The application is divided into two executables; GUI_SRVR.exe is the Server application that runs as a Windows NT service, and W_GUI.exe is the Graphical User Interface (GUI) application run from the ICON selected in the WINMOM program group.
LBI-39224 and viewing interface module status data. The various screens and terms the user may encounter are walked through and explained in full detail. The following sub-sections highlight the major functions of the CEC/IMC Manager. 1.2.1 System Configuration CEC/IMC Manager Configuration – CEC/IMC Manager User Profiles – Configure CEC/IMC Manager user accounts. This includes user names, passwords, and access levels.
LBI-39224 and EDACS Data Gateway (EDG) interface. In release 5.0 CEC/IMC Manager TDM bus time slots are allocated from each site, console, or DVIM interface audio configuration dialog box. System Options – Auxiliary I/O – Program auxiliary I/O events. – Multisite Unit Logout – Configure multisite unit logout parameters for each unit, both timer-based and instant command logouts are provided View unit and group location information.
LBI-39224 Console Configuration – Console Hardware Configuration – Perform special console hardware configurations for C3 Maestro™ consoles. – Console User Profiles – Configure console user-specific parameters. Up to ten (10) different console user profile set-ups (shifts) are available for each console. – Console Privilege Lists – Assign unit, group, conventional channel privileges to each console.
LBI-39224 1.3 DATA LOGGING FEATURE One of the most important features of the CEC/IMC Manager (MOM PC) is its ability to log data. All data that is placed on the GSC Bus in the CEC/IMC is logged at the MOM Controller Board. The MOM Controller Board then periodically dumps its data log buffer to the CEC/IMC Manager through their serial link. The CEC/IMC Manager writes this data to its hard disk, where it can be extracted and viewed either on- or off-line.

LBI-39224 NOTE In most cases, the term "site" in this program does not refer to an EDACS trunked site or any other type of radio system. It refers instead to a site-type interface module within the CEC/IMC or StarGate Controller Digital Audio Switch. The number that follows is the interface module's site assignment number. This number corresponds to and matches the site assignment number set by the 5-bit DIP switch setting on the interface module's Controller Board.
LBI-39224 Figure 12 CEC/IMC Configuration Menu 3.8.1 MIM Channel Configuration Interfacing between the CEC/IMC and an EDACS trunked site is accomplished with a MASTR™ II/III Interface Module (MIM). The MIM consists of a Controller Board and up to eight Audio or T1/E1 Interface Boards. An optional standby Controller Board may be used with an EDACS trunked site for redundant downlink operation.
LBI-39224 Figure 13 Site Channel Configuration List Dialog Box (MIM Shown) Each Site Channel Configuration List dialog box displays the configurable "sites" and configured/active "sites." An active "site" represents an active Controller Board control data link. For example, in the case of a MIM this represents an operating link between an EDACS trunked site and the MIM Controller Board. Help Choose the Help button to access the Help function. (Help is also available by pressing the F1 key.
LBI-39224 All selected MIMs in this list will also be included in the "Save As…" dialog box that is accessed from the Site Channel Configuration dialog box or T1/E1 Digital Site Configuration dialog box. The particular state is indicated by a prefix as defined in the following table. Table 1 Configured/Active Sites Prefix Definitions PREFIX MEANING ** The "site" has been added for configuration but is not active and no channel configurations have been performed or saved.
LBI-39224 Interface Board will activate the T1/E1 Digital Site Configuration dialog box. These options are discussed in detail in subsequent sections. Delete Choose the Delete button to remove ("delete") a selected configured or unconfigured site from the Configured/Active Sites list box to the Configurable Sites list box. Configured-and-active sites (C/A prefix) cannot be "deleted." This delete function does not remove "site" channel configuration files from the CEC/IMC Manager's hard disk drive.
LBI-39224 Figure 14 Audio Interface Type Dialog Box (Audio Board selected) T1/E1 Interface option If T1/E1 Interface Card was selected (Figure 15), a new set of option buttons will appear. T1 is a digital transmission facility operating at 1.544 Mbps (million bits per second) in a full-duplex, time-division-multiplexing mode. T1 is the first level or primary rate within a digital transmission and switching hierarchy defined by AT&T called a T Carrier System.
LBI-39224 T1/E1 Digital Site Configuration dialog box will appear. Continue with channel configuration as described in "T1/E1 Interface Card Equipped Configuration." Figure 15 Audio Interface Type Dialog Box (T1/E1 Interface Card selected) Audio Board-Equipped MIM Channel Configuration This section describes configurations for channels within Audio Boardequipped site-type interface modules.

Ensure that the CEC/IMC configuration is correct, then choose the CEC/IMC to Disk button to restore the CEC/IMC Manager configuration database (for the selected interface module). Channel Selection Select a channel (1 thru 32) for configuration from the CEC/IMC Manager list box, only one channel may be selected at a time.
LBI-39224 Channel Signaling This drop-down list box specifies the type of channel signaling sent out by the selected channel for control of external equipment such as an EDACS trunked site or co-located mux equipment. Valid settings are "NONE" for no signaling, "TONE" for tone control signaling, "E&M" for M-lead control signaling, and "BOTH" for both tone and M-lead control signaling. Channel Signaling default = "NONE." EDACS trunked sites require specialized tone control signaling for transmit keying.
LBI-39224 For example, if the currently selected site-type interface module is a 20-channel MIM with five (5) Audio Boards addressed 1 thru 5, Bus/Slots Equipped for channels 1 thru 20 must be "YES." NOTE In earlier CEC/IMC firmware/software releases, slot allocations could only be made contiguously starting with channel one (1). In some systems this produced slot allocation inefficiencies, i.e., some slots had to be allocated but were never used. CEC/IMC software/firmware release 5.
LBI-39224 the selected channel by entering "YES" in the ALC text box or disable it by entering "NO." Save and Send MIM Audio Board Configurations When channel configuration of the selected interface module is complete, the Site Channel Configuration dialog box changes must be sent to the CEC/IMC before the changes will take effect. This reprograms the MIM Controller Boards.
LBI-39224 Figure 17 "Save As…" Dialog Box For example, if "Site 8" is the currently selected site-type interface module and "Site 12" requires similar configuration settings, this button may be used to save the "Site 8" configuration as "Site 12" (save to "12"). The new "site" may then be changed later, as required, by selecting it from the selection list box, changing the configuration as required, and then choosing Save.
LBI-39224 MOM Controller Board receives this new data it will send an acknowledgment message back to the CEC/IMC Manager, which will then display the confirmation box: "Do you want to activate TDM Bus Slots? OK - will cause all CTRL boards to reset.
LBI-39224 NOTE T1/E1 selection is performed at the CEC/IMC Manager on a CEC/IMC wide basis. Changing the Line Type will cause the complete T1/E1 database to be reset (lost). The Line Type shown as the "default" when the Audio Interface Type dialog box appears is how the system is configured and Line Type should not be changed. The T1/E1 Interface Card provides a built-in T1 or E1 port for CEC/IMC interface modules.
LBI-39224 1. Master - Redundant Clock Circuits generated by the Clock Board in a FREE RUN mode. This allows any CEC/IMC to become the master source of Network timing. All nodes connected to this CEC/IMC will be in the slave mode. This mode is established by setting the Clock Board DIP switches to "Master" mode and all the T1/E1 Interface Cards' Slave Clock option to "NONE." 2.
LBI-39224 1. One node in the system must be the MASTER source of network timing. The CEC/IMC will support a primary and redundant (or alternate) MASTER sources of timing as indicated above. 2. A MASTER node can be defined as a site, a Jessica, a T1/E1 link, or a CEC/IMC. 3. All leased T1/E1 facilities from the telephone company are frequency locked by the phone company. If there are any phone company T1/E1 connections, one of the connections must be the MASTER source of timing.

LBI-39224 E1), Robbed Bit for T1, and CAS-CC for E1. Select the signaling type from the drop-down list box. Line Length This is the distance between the CEC/IMC and the device at the other end of the T1 line, which could be a microwave transceiver, a mux in co-located site equipment, CSU, etc. Line effects change the signal slightly, and the changes become more pronounced the further the signal travels down the line.
LBI-39224 should be the same as the configuration stored on the CEC/IMC Manager hard disk. If the CEC/IMC Manager hard disk data was cleared or reset to undesired values, Read MSC followed by Save will restore the CEC/IMC Manager hard disk configuration. Set Defaults Choose the Set Defaults button to select the pre-programmed default values from the CEC/IMC Manager hard disk.
LBI-39224 T1/E1 Channel Assignment T1/E1 logical channels are assigned starting with channel 1, these are the channels used to transmit voice, data, and image signals from one system node to another. E1 channel 16 is used for signaling if signaling is enabled. (See "Signaling Type" under T1/E1 Digital Site Configuration above.) Subrate ports for user data are assigned channels adjacent/after logical channels according to the table below.

LBI-39224 3.13 DISTRIBUTED MULTISITE / STARGATE CONFIGURATION A common or central network switch known as a "StarGate Controller" has three or more switches linked to it via NIMs. Users select network operation on a wide area fleet/group basis at the System Manager. Each NIM is assigned a unique site assignment number (1 thru 32) within the CEC/IMC. This number corresponds to and matches the site assignment number set via the 5-bit DIP switch setting on the interface module’s Controller Board.

Options and Controller Configuration Group call console tracking, remote CEC interface operation, and NIM baud rates for the network are set on a per NIM basis.
LBI-39224 This option should only be disabled (unselected) in special circumstances in which routing all calls would cause excessive NIM traffic. In general, StarGate/NIM networks which require large amounts of console dispatch operations will require enabling of this option. Remote CEC Interface This function allows all call traffic being monitored by a console or logging recorder on a remote CEC system to be routed by the NIM link. This option must be enabled at both NIMs in the link.
LBI-39224 Close Choose the Close button to exit this dialog box and return to the CEC/IMC Manager main window.

LBI-39224 3.14 CONVENTIONAL CHANNEL CONFIGURATION The VMIM interface module and CIA secondary interface rack couple conventional tone or DC controlled base stations and conventional voting systems to the CEC/IMC switch. Each VMIM/CIA set can provide thirty-two CEC/IMC conventional channel interfaces, and a CEC/IMC may be equipped with two VMIM/CIA sets, providing up to sixty-four conventional channel interfaces per CEC/IMC.
LBI-39224 channel at one CEC/IMC), or eight (8) CEC/IMCs in a StarGate network may each contain up to a maximum of thirty-two (32) conventional channels. In both of the preceding examples the highest conventional channel in this configuration would actually be 256; however, channel 256 cannot be used due to CEC/IMC call message formats. The StarGate conventional channel configuration can be spread over more CEC/IMCs by limiting the maximum number of conventional channels per CEC/IMC.
LBI-39224 match the switch assignment number set by the DIP switches on the MOM Controller Board. See CEC/IMC Digital Audio Switch Installation, Set-Up And Troubleshooting (LBI-38938) for MOM Controller Board DIP switch configuration details. Table 5 maps the conventional channel allocation numbers in a StarGate network when the maximum number of conventional channels per CEC/IMC is set to sixty-four (64). Table 6 shows the mapping for thirty-two (32) maximum channels per CEC/IMC.

LBI-39224 Figure 35 Conventional Channel Configuration Dialog Box A CEC/IMC Manager can only program/configure its (local) conventional channels. When local conventional channel programming is saved at a CEC/IMC Manager, the channel aliases and channel LIDs of the changed channels are sent to all other CEC/IMCs in the StarGate network. This allows remote conventional channel information to be viewed (read-only function) at all other CEC/IMC Managers in the StarGate network.
LBI-39224 It is recommended that a conventional channel LID stored in the CEC/IMC Manager be given the same alias as the corresponding conventional channel LID at the System Manager, i.e. if a System Manager exists, changing a conventional channel alias at the CEC/IMC Manager is possible but not recommended. This will ease conventional channel identification during patch operations since a console communicates with a conventional channel by its channel number, not its LID number.

LBI-39224 Local/Remote Conventional Channel Dispatch After a console has received the System Manger conventional channel database information and its privilege list, local and remote conventional channel communications operate almost identically. The console operator can program the channel to a communication module, dispatch to the channel, exercise any available conventional channel relay function (local/remote, main/standby, etc.
LBI-39224 – reduced audio delay for a console PTT – consoles may pre-empt Causeway patches and Causeway simulselects – patch/simulselect update time is minimized when a trunked radio roams/logs into a new trunked site – eliminates the single-point-of-failure (MOM Controller Board) experienced with "soft" patches and simulselects – frees-up patch/simulselects at consoles which were previously used for "soft" patch/simulselect of these GIDs and conventional channels All Causeway patches and Causeway
LBI-39224 – A console-originated conventional channel call is routed only to the conventional channel. This is because the consoles know nothing about the Causeway patch stored in the CCI and VMIM. The Logical ID (LID) assigned to the conventional channel handles this call.
LBI-39224 3.14.3 Conventional Channel Configuration NOTE After all conventional channels have been configured, saved, and sent, a CEC/IMC Manager-based System Manger database transfer of the conventional channel information is recommended. See SYSTEM MANAGER DATABASE UPLOADS on page 3-14 for details. After completing the transfer, privilege lists of consoles which may require access to conventional channels should be updated by adding the required conventional channels to each console's privilege list.

In the case of a global system error, the text "GLOBAL SYSTEM" will be displayed across these 3 columns, since this type of error affects all interface modules (devices/nodes). Global system errors are included in all existing error reports, whether it is a single node, all sites, all consoles, or all nodes report. Global system errors are not included in logged (past) error reports.
LBI-39224 View Warnings Figure 49 Diagnostics Dialog Box, Warnings Option Selected Each entry in the report consists of two lines of information detailing the time and source of the warning, the related message code number, a short description, a data value, and the source filename and line number where the warning was issued. – The date and time indicates when the warning was received by the CEC/IMC Manager and is the same as the time of occurrence.
LBI-39224 The short description following the message code reflects this format. For example: W02-033 "Out of Range-Audio Channel." – All possible warnings are listed by message code number in this dialog box's Help function. In most instances the short description given will provide enough information to indicate the reason for the warning. – The data field usually contains the value that caused the warning to be issued.
LBI-39224 Figure 50 Diagnostics Dialog Box, Call Translation Option Selected Information displayed by this on-line option is identical to the information displayed by the off-line CALLS.EXE program described in Chapter 5 of this manual. See Chapter 5 or the on-line Help function for message group and sub-group definitions. NOTE The buffer at the MOM controller will wait until it is about 65% full before writing to the data log file.
LBI-39224 GSC Data This option is also accessible from the Diagnostics Options menu. It allows the user to view the CEC/IMC Manager datalog information in a raw hexadecimal format. A typical GSC Data screen is shown below. Figure 51 Diagnostics Dialog Box, GSC Data Option Selected Once displayed, this information can also be sent to a file or printed. This on-line option is similar to the off-line GSCMOM.EXE program described in Chapter 5 of this manual.
LBI-39224 GSC Translation This option, also accessible from the Diagnostics Options menu, is similar to the GSC Data option except there is an attempt to translate the messages into a more readable format. This is similar to the Call Translation option, except no messages are filtered out. Messages that cannot be translated are left in the raw hex form. A typical screen is shown below. Note the header for this option is identical to the Call Translation header since many messages fall into the same format.
LBI-39224 To create a GSC Translation report select the GSC Translation option button and enter date and time ranges in the appropriate text box, then choose the Display button to display the datalog file. Since the datalog file may be quite large, it could take several minutes to finish a translation. The GSC Translation information can be sent to a file or to a printer by choosing the Save To File or Print buttons respectively. 4.

LBI-39224 6. CHAPTER 6 NETCLOCK/2™ INTERFACE OPTION 6.1 OVERVIEW A Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) standard option is available that allows the CEC/IMC to be synchronized to WWVB, operating on a frequency of 60 kHz, in Fort Collins, Colorado. This option uses Spectracom® Corporation's NETCLOCK/2™ WWVB receiver which interfaces to the CEC/IMC via an RS-232 serial port at the CEC/IMC Manager (usually COM2).
LBI-39224 Figure 58 NETCLOCK/2 Configuration Using the RS-232 serial connection, the CEC/IMC Manager reads the 26-character ASCII time/date data from the receiver and updates the MOM Controller Board. The MOM then provides synchronized time and date messages to the CIMs and consoles. 6.2 NETCLOCK INSTALLATION The following procedures must be performed in order to implement the NETCLOCK/2 time synchronization option: 1. Verify a COM port on the CEC/IMC Manager is available (COM2, COM3 or COM4). 2.
LBI-39224 4. Connect the NETCLOCK/2 to an unused CEC/IMC Manager COM port. See the cable wiring diagrams that follow. The NETCLOCK/2 has two RS-232 serial ports. One is an output that transmits the 26-character ASCII time/date data once each second in Format 0 or Format 1. This is called the 1/sec interface or the "REMOTE OUTPUT." The other port responds to commands from the CEC/IMC Manager by transmitting a 26-character ASCII time/date data in Format 0, Format 1, or Format 2.

Controller Board The Controller Board processes control data, holds databases, and controls the Audio Boards within its respective interface module. CTIM Centralized Telephone Interconnect Module – The CTIM is a CEC/IMC interface module used to connect Centralized Telephone Interconnect System (CTIS) equipment to the CEC/IMC so radio users and dispatchers can access land-line telephone systems.
LBI-39224 EDACS Enhanced Digital Access Communication System – The term "EDACS radio system" refers to RF equipment that may be interfaced to the EDACS CEC/IMC Digital Audio Switch. The RF equipment may be located at a single location, such as an EDACS trunked site or it may be located at several locations, such as in a voting system. Other examples of EDACS radio systems include simulcast, CNI, and SCAT systems.
LBI-39224 GETC Ericsson General Electric Trunking Card – The GETC is a microprocessor-controlled shelf that can be configured to perform many different signal processing tasks for EDACS radio communications equipment. In CEC/IMC applications, each GETC is equipped with a 9600 baud modem that provides serial control data communications between different radio systems.
LBI-39224 Jessica PBX Gateway Jessica Private Branch eXchange Gateway – This advanced telephone interconnect system is used with CEC/IMC equipment to provide EDACS radio system users access to local public switched telephone networks (PSTN). Jessica incorporates the Ericsson MD110 PBX. It is interfaced to the CEC/IMC via a PIM. (Also see PIM.) LRIM Logging Recorder Interface Module – This CEC/IMC interface module provides audio outputs for logging recorders.
LBI-39224 NIM Network Interface Module – Two or more IMC networks can be linked together for distributed multisite communications using a NIM at each IMC Digital Audio Switch. NIMs can also link a remote CEC to an IMC for remote console applications.
LBI-39224 ProSound When roaming on a wide area (multisite) network, ProSound enables a radio to select a new site based upon the bit-error-rate of the "adjacent" sites' control channels. The roaming operation is referred to as "wide area scan" or "wide area system scan." ProSound ensures the newly selected site's working channel(s) will be sufficient to provide quality audio. During wide area scan operations, EDACS allows up to six (6) adjacent sites to be scanned. radio system See EDACS radio system.
LBI-39224 site This term normally refers to radio equipment at a single specific location. (Also see site assignment number.) site assignment number In most cases, the term "site" in this program does not refer to an EDACS trunked site or any other type of radio system. It refers to a site-type interface module within the CEC/IMC/StarGate Controller/etc. Digital Audio Switch. The number that follows is the interface module's site assignment number.
LBI-39224 VMIM ConVentional MASTR II/III Interface Module – The VMIM couples the CIA secondary interface rack to the primary CEC/IMC interface modules. The VMIM - CIA set allows conventional base stations and conventional satellite receiver voting systems to be connected to the CEC/IMC. XLTR C3 Modular/Desktop Console Translator – Using data protocol conversion techniques, this interface module allows the CEC/IMC to communicate with a C3 Modular/Desktop console.
