Call Director patch

The Call Director patch feature allows the dispatcher at a console to "patch" a telephone line to a specific unit, talk group, conventional channel, or radio patch in the CEC/IMC network. The term patch or patched, derived from phone patch, is used to signify the CD is connected to the CEC/IMC. A Call Director patch should not be confused with a radio-type patch in which a collection of radio talk groups are interconnected for common communications as one group. (See patch ("soft"/console).) The console uses a secondary LID (Logical ID) for the patch channel requests, thus allowing CD patch operation to work separately from, and concurrently with, the normal console-to-radio dispatch communications.

CAM

Centralized Activity Module – The CAM is a CEC/IMC interface module that provides call activity information to the Centralized Activity Logger (CAL) computer. Usage and billing information can be generated with the CAL through the CAM link.

Causeway patch

The Causeway patch feature allows a conventional channel to be patched directly to a trunked talk group via the trunked group's Group ID (GID) number. All conventional channels in a CEC/IMC can be Causeway patched. Causeway patches are setup and deactivated at the CEC/IMC Manager, not consoles. Consoles and trunked sites in the CEC/IMC network know nothing about Causeway patches, except the respective GID number. This feature was previously referred to as "hard patch." (Also see patch ("soft"/console).)

Causeway simulselect

The Causeway simulselect feature allows a conventional channel to be simulselected to a trunked talk group via the trunked talk group's Group ID (GID) number. All conventional channels in a CEC/IMC can be Causeway simulselected. Causeway simulselects are setup and deactivated at the CEC/IMC Manager, not consoles. Consoles and trunked sites in the CEC/IMC network know nothing about Causeway simulselects, except the respective GID number. This feature was previously referred to as "hard simulselect." (Also see

simulselect ("soft"/console).)

CCI Board

Conventional Control Interface Board - This is a CEC/IMC Controller Board configured for use in the CIA rack. It provides master CI Board control. The control data port that connects the CIA rack to the VMIM is also located on the CCI Board. (Also see CI

Board.)
