Mercury Quick Start Guide 

Mercury Software Components 

Each Mercury Host is supplied with software pre-installed and 

ready to run. The main software components are: 

 

  Talkback Controller (TBC)   

This Windows service manages all the audio traffic both within 

and (where needed) outside each Mercury Host. Data describing 

the system layout is provided to the TBC by the database. 

 

  Database Supervisor (MIU only)  

This Windows service manages the database files and converts 

them to the correct format for the TBC. The database is edited 

using Gateway, which was installed on your PC in the preceding 

section. As mentioned previously, only one instance of the 

Mercury database is permitted across an entire system 

(“Enterprise”) and during the implementation process, any which 

are not required should be disabled or removed.  

 

 

Each service is managed by its own small graphical user interface 

(GUI) which normally run minimised in the Windows system tray. 

Click on the respective icon (see above) to show options including 

the management tools.  

 

Windows services start automatically as the Host boots-up, 

allowing unattended operation without being logged in to 

Windows. The GUIs are entirely separate and not required for 

normal operation.
