3.3 SOFTWARE CONSIDERATIONS

Despite the considerations given in this section to highlight aspects of required software setup, there is no substitute for consulting the respective manuals for both the controller chosen and for the receiver to be used. You must take care to match the capabilities of the controller and the receiver that the CXTA will interface. If there is a mismatch between the two, the addition of the CXTA will not solve your problem. In fact, in most cases, it will not be the problem.

With that in mind, the manual references that might be needed when installing the CXTA are listed below. Use the latest revision of the manual.

C540M (CM9760-KBD) – For direct mode as well as 9760 System install procedures

C547M (CM9760-MGR ) – For 9760 System installation programming issues

C541M (CM9760-CC1) – For issues related to communication hookup and file ma- nipulation during 9760 System installations

C535M (MPT9500) – For issues related to MPT9500 programming modes and operation

C682M (DX7000) – For programming and other issues related to the DX7000 Digital Video Recorder

3.3.1 9760 SYSTEM

There are two files (called configuration files) that must be programmed as part of the con- figuration set that resides in the 9760 directory on the CM9760-CC1s hard disk. These files contain the parameters necessary for the operation of anything connected to the systems Sercom ports. For the CXTA, part of the information required was given in the COM PA- RAMETERS information box located at the beginning of this manual. That information is entered into the COMMS file; it is illustrated in Figure17. In addition to the COMMS file, it is necessary to fill out the CAMERA file for the receivers that will be interfaced by the CXTA. An example of that configuration file is shown in Figure 18. Pay close attention to the anno- tations that accompany the screen captures in the figures.
