CAD Translator
The CAD Translator is an optional part of the FSA system software. It will be used when
an existing CAD console system is in use and the CAD system has been configured to use
either the communications protocol first used with the Zetron Model 26 or to use an XML-
based CAD protocol. When the Model 26 CAD protocol is used, the CAD system is
connected to one of the serial ports on the FSA Server machine. When the XML CAD
protocol is used, the CAD system communicates over the network and a network port is
assigned for CAD - FSA Server traffic. (The default port is 43003.)
The CAD Translator decides which mode to operate in automatically; based on the
information it finds in the CAD license file installed on the computer.
Installing the CAD Translator
There are no special requirements for the machine running the CAD Translator. If it is
used in a system, it is installed on the same machine as the FSA Server. The machine does
not have to be connected to the network in order to perform the CAD Translator
installation.
The CAD Translator does require a license to continue running.
♦ CAD Translator Installation

Translator option, and click the Install 'CAD Translator' button. The installer
for the CAD translator will start.
