Licensing for the TM-2000/MTM-2000
In order for the TM-2000/MTM-2000 software to operate you must have either a signed license file or a USB
dongle.
If the dongle is used it must always be present and connected to the TM-2000/MTM-2000. When installing the
TM-2000/MTM-2000 software, the computer will check for the presence of the a USB dongle. If the dongle is
not found, the computer will require the license file. If it is removed for more than a few minutes, the TM-2000/
MTM-2000 will automatically shut down.
If a license file is used, the license file is hard-coded to a specific piece of hardware (ie, TM-2000/MTM-2000).
This means the software cannot be used on any other machine than the one it is assigned.
To update the license file separately, put the
tm2000.lic license file on a DOS-format floppy disk, along with the
update_tm.sh file which is provided with the license. For further information on updating the license see page

Software Organization
The TM-2000/MTM-2000 consists of a PC running on Linux with real-time extensions. Once the TM-2000/
MTM-2000 software is loaded on the PC, some of the kernel load modules become part of the Linux operating
system. All of the TM-2000/MTM-2000 software is installed in the
/tm directory (unlike DOS and Windows®,
Linux uses the forward slash “/’ as a directory separator).
NOTE : It should not normally be necessary to log on to the TM-2000 computer to do anything from Linux.
Configuration of the TM-2000/MTM-2000 is done by running the TM-2000 software, which automatically starts
when the computer is booted.
Hardware Requirements
Serial Ports - The TM-2000/MTM-2000 requires the standard COM1 and COM2 devices
COM1 ........................... used for TrunkEdit
COM2 ........................... used for TrunkSupervisor
One or more serial card must be installed in order to communicate with the intercoms. If serial cards are not
installed, the TM-2000 will still run, but cannot connect to any intercoms.
If a VDP (VTR Delegate Panel) controller is used, it must be connect to the first serial port on the first Acces
card, otherwise this serial port can be used for intercom communications. The choice to enable VDP is made
during the software installation.
Ethernet Adapters - The TM-2000 supports the use of a single Ethernet adapter. This is used for active/
standby communications and for TrunkEdit communications via Ethernet.
NOTE : If TrunkEdit via Ethernet is used, the computers must be connected by a switch or a hub; otherwise, a
single CAT-5 crossover cable can be used between the active and standby computers.
Supported Ethernet Adapters
3COM 3c501/3/5/9, 3c529, 3c579, 3c49x, and 3c9xx
Intel EtherExpressPro/100
Intel 815E chipset (e.g. Intel 82801)
National Semiconductor DP8381x
NetGear FA-311
AMD PCnet32 PCI
NOTE : There are many Ethernet Adapter cards that are listed as being supported by Linux; however, in order
to support any other cards, the Linux kernel included with the TM-2000/MTM-2000 software must first be
