CONFIG-xx
This application is the system management administrative tool. Password protection can be
implemented to prevent unauthorized access. Only one instance of CONFIG-xx can be run on the
same LAN at any one time. CONFIG-xx is USB dongle protected and must be run on the PC to
which the dongle is connected.
Configuration Files
The administration tool allows many settings to be globally set for all frames or for individual
frames. This is mainly accomplished by using configuration files which are maintained for each
frame and can be uploaded manually or scheduled for upload at set times.
A configuration file defines the essential alarm and level metering parameters that a MADIxx/
AM-xx frame will use. It covers such things as meter scales types, alarm thresholds and
sensitivities and which of the available alarms can be used on a per channel basis. All of these
parameters can be changed by uploading a different configuration file. Changes can also be
scheduled to take place at selected times. Uploading and scheduling are restricted to users with
access to the CONFIG-xx configuration application.
MADI-xx/AM-xx Settings
Fixed settings such as channel names, and audio formats supported by particular channels and
network streaming formats are not held within a configuration file, but can nevertheless be
changed by configuration level users using CONFIG-xx.
DISPLAY-xx
This application is used in operational areas where audio and alarm monitoring is required. It may
be password protected to restrict user access. Multiple instances of DISPLAY-xx can be run
simultaneously on the same LAN.
DISPLAY-xx has two levels of functionality. For full operation, a dongle must be connected to the
PC on which it is to be run.
Full Operation (with dongle)
・
Remote alarm monitoring and reset
・
User configurable audio metering
・
Switching of MADI-xx/AM-xx frame audio monitor and audio streaming outputs
Limited Operation (without dongle)
・
Remote alarm monitoring and reset
DISPLAY-xx can be used independently of CONFIG-xx and can either read existing
preconfigured
MADI-xx/AM-xx data streams on the LAN or request it’s own stream if none are available. If no
streams are available, all data will be streamed.
Monitoring level data and alarms
Although only CONFIG-xx has control of the configuration files, DISPLAY-xx allows a 'House
Style' to be maintained for users working in similar areas by using named files to save and recall
‘style sheet’ settings. These include the colors and break points used for bargraph ranges, the
number of bargraphs visible at one time in the Full Screen display, whether bargraphs or meters
are used to build virtual meter bridges and whether alarms are combined with the Full Screen
bargraph display or only shown in a dedicated Alarms Window.
Note:
Administration level users can limit the data monitored by DISPLAY-xx at selected workstations
and from selected frames using CONFIG-xx, for example to only send alarm data, but not level data.
