2.2.2.12.2 Connect Menu
This menu allows the administrator to retrieve the current configuration and airtime values from the
NOMAD MXU and to apply a changed configuration to the NOMAD MXU. It is also used to configure
the NOMAD MXU telephone system interface for the country of the NOMAD MXU site.
Figure 2.2.2.12.2-1: Connect Menu
The Get Configuration from Unit command connects to the NOMAD MXU unit over the modem
connection or direct connect cable (whichever is currently configured) and then uploads and displays the
current configuration. This allows the administrator to see how much airtime has been used and to get an
updated base for changing the configuration. After a configuration is successfully uploaded, the "Date of
Displayed Data” time is set to the current GMT time
The Send Current Configuration command connects to the NOMAD MXU unit over the currently
configured interface and sends the displayed configuration values. Any changes to airtime categories, new
or deleted phones, changes to groups, etc. will be applied by the NOMAD MXU. After a successful
update, the time fields displayed as plus or minus base times are added to base times, and the +/- changes
become zero in the MCM display. The administrator should save the current configuration file after
sending a changed configuration and (recommended) use the Get Configuration from Unit command to
verify that the changes have been applied.
The Get/Send Country Code commands allow the administrator to change the telephone configuration for
the NOMAD MXU. This should only be done when the PC running the MCM program is directly
connected to the
NOMAD MXU by a serial cable. The settings can be changed to allow an MCM installation on another PC
to dial in over a modem from anywhere in the world. When the setting is working, than the modem-
connected PC running MCM must not be used to change it or it could “lock itself out” from connecting
again. Refer to the section on creating a new NOMAD MXU configuration.
