Wallboards
This command allows you to add a wallboard. Wallboards are used by
supervisors to display messages. Three types of wallboards are sup-
ported: Nortel, Daktronics, and Generic. When adding wallboards,
you can chain multiple wallboards, up to five, together on one port or
assign one wallboard to a port.
To add a wallboard, you must know its device number used as the ad-
dress for the wallboard, a number assigned to it during manufacture.
For Daktronics wallboards, to see the address number, unplug the de-
vice from power and then plug it in again. The wallboard displays the
message Unit OK and the device number. For Nortel wallboards the
address is programmed using the remote keypad (a remote control de-
vice).
Constraints
CC MIS supports up to five wallboard devices per port. These devices
may be chained together on a common port (a maximum of five wall-
boards per port) or each wallboard can be configured on its own port.
Ports not assigned to supervisor displays or printers can be used as
wallboard ports.
Wallboards are optional and may not be available on your system.
