Upgrading from MeetingManager 1.0
30 seconds, or any value you set using RMSSetCommunicationTimeout (). If a
string is not received within the timeout period, a loss of device communication
is reported to the RMS server.
If you are using RMS CodeCrafter output that imported the custom "Device
communicating" parameter from a MeetingManager 1.0 worksheet, simply
change the Module type for the device from "Custom (No Module)" to "Basic
Device", and delete the "Device Communicating" parameter.
Custom Source Usage
In order to take full advantage of the Source Usage reporting and Manage Source
Usage view, Source Usage must be reported to the RMSSrcUsageMod support
module. The new RMSSrcUsageMod is backwards compatible with the old
module. If you are only using standard sources and you have not customized
MeetingManagerSrcUsageMod module for custom sources, you only need to
change the DEFINE_MODULE line to use RMSSrcUsageMod, recompile, and
download.
If you have customized MeetingManagerSrcUsageMod with custom sources, as
indicated by a value of MM_MAX_CUSTOM_SOURCES greater than 0 in your
customized version of MeetingManagerSrcUsageMod.axs, you will need to
migrate these custom sources to the RMSSrcUsageMod.axs file.
RMSSrcUsageMod supports custom sources in two ways. The first way is the
same as MeetingManagerSrcUsageMod, where you can set
MM_MAX_CUSTOM_SOURCES to the number of custom sources and add
source names to MM_CUSTOM_SOURCES. This method is deprecated in RMS
2.0 although it still works.
The recommended method for adding custom sources to RMSSrcUsageMod is
through custom i!-ConnectLinx actions. RMSSrcUsageMod will watch for the
registration of custom i!-ConnectLinx actions and automatically register any
actions starting with "Select " as a source select. For instance, if your system has
a Reel to Reel player, which is not supported in i!-ConnectLinx as a standard
source, you can track the usage of this source in the RMS server by registering
this as a custom actions called "Select Reel to Reel":
SEND_COMMAND vdvCLActions,'ADD ACTION-1,Select Reel To
Reel,,Sources'
