Using CPSW
Using CPSW
This chapter describes how to configure Models 4116B, 4018, and 4118 dispatch consoles.
This is accomplished through three primary tasks:
1. Use one of the following methods to get configuration settings:
a. download an existing configuration from a console
(see
To receive the configuration from a console
on page 198)
b. open an existing configuration file from a disk
(see
To load a configuration from a file
on page 199)
c. start a new configuration
(see
To configure a position’s panel layout
on page 209)
2. Edit the configuration settings as needed
(see
Editing a Configuration
on page 200)
3. Save the configuration file and send the configuration to one or more consoles
(see
Sending a Configuration to a Console
on page 216)
This section, Using CPSW , provides step-by-step procedures to cover everything you
need to do in order to configure 4x18 consoles.
Starting CPSW
Start CPSW by double-clicking on its shortcut. Alternatively, the default location for the
program itself is located here:
32-bit OS:
C:\Program Files\Zetron\CPSW (4x18)
64-bit OS:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Zetron\CPSW (4x18)
Configuring CPSW
The serial port setting is the only setting needed to configure the CPSW application. This
setting is saved so you do not need to configure it every time the application is launched.

To configure the serial port
1. Determine which serial port will be used to connect to consoles (typically COM1
or COM2).
2. Go to Communication , Set Serial Port .
3. Type in the serial port to use, using the following format:
COMx
Where
x
is the number of the serial port.
4. Click Save New PC Com Port .
