Getting Started

Network Installation

The MTM400 is designed to operate in a networked (TCP/IP) environment. The network or system administrator may have already configured the TCP/IP parameters (including the network identity) for the MTM400. If this is not the case, refer to Appendix A: Network Installation for procedures to configure the TCP/IP parameters.

Setting the Font Used By the RUI

If the RUI does not show the program names and logs in the correct character set, first ensure that the correct standard is selected for the broadcast being monitored. If the characters are still incorrect, you must configure the RUI to use a font that supports the characters in use.

1.Locate the file MTM400.INI. This is typically in the Java folder inside the Windows folder or in your home directory.

This file is formatted in Unix text. If a Unix file-format compatible text editor (for example, PFE) is not available, edit file in Notepad. Be careful not to add any new lines; only edit what is there.

2.Within the MTM400.INI file, change UnicodeOn=false to UnicodeOn=true, save the file, and restart the RUI.

3.The RUI will attempt to select a suitable font installed on the system. If the displayed characters are still incorrect, close the RUI and reopen MTM400.INI.

4.Change the UnicodeFont=Arial Unicode MS section to the name of the TrueType font you want to use, for example UnicodeFont=MS Gothic. Save the file and restart the RUI.

The default Arial Unicode MS is shipped with many Microsoft products and operating systems; it includes the whole Unicode character set. This font provides the best compromise to display the non-English program names and the English elements of the user interface. If this font is unavailable, similar fonts are commercially available, for example from Bitstream Inc. (www.bitstream.com).

The preceding instructions relate to running the RUI under the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine. Some users choose to run the WebMSM under the Sun Java Virtual Machine, however, this is an unsupported configuration. In this case, the user should see the Sun documentation relating to modifying ‘font properties’. The exception is when the RUI is integrated into the MLM1000. In this case, refer to the user manual (Tektronix part number 071-1433-xx) that accompanies the MLM1000.
