Programming Your System
When you open CM9700-MGR, the Getting Started dialog box appears.
Figure 28. Getting Started Dialog Box
The CM9700-MGR provides the following configuration options:
•Setup Wizard: This option opens the Setup Wizard (a series of dialog boxes), which provides assistance in setting up a new system.
•New System: This option opens the CM9700-MGR main window with a blank system. Use this option when you want to create a new
system configuration from scratch.
•Open: This option allows you to open a CM9700-MGR system design file (a .psm file).
•Import Configuration Files: This option allows you to import configuration files. You can use this option to import the following types of
files:
– Configuration files that have been copied from the CM9700-CC1 (note, however, that copying configuration files from the CC1 is not
recommended; the *.psm file generated from the CM9700-MGR provides more complete descriptions of system settings)
– CM9760-MGR configuration files (also known as “flat files”) created for a System 9760 or System 9740.
NOTE: When Pelco customizes your system at the factory, system settings are saved in the *.psm file, which is provided to you on the CD labeled
“CD-CM9700CONFIG” (provided in your system binder). The accompanying sets of configuration files have been transferred to the CM9700-CC1
at the factory. Any system changes should start by opening the *.psm file. (With previous CM9760-CC1 and CM9700-CC1 systems, configuration
files were used for system changes. With the current system, however, configuration files are handled only as an output from the *.psm file.)
Detailed instructions for using the 9700 System Manager are provided in the CM9700-MGR Software Guide, which is included in the
System 9780 binder.
