A system consists of the following components:
• MCD 5000 Deskset: Phone-like device used by the end-user for operating the MCD 5000
Deskset System. Each MCD 5000 Deskset connects to a single Radio Device at a time.
• MCD 5000 Radio Gateway Unit (RGU): The Radio Gateway units connect Radio
equipment to the MCD 5000 Deskset System. The Radio Gateway can interface up to 4
Radio devices.
• Configuration Tool (CT): The CT is a Windows based utility, used to configure all
parameters and settings of the MCD 5000 Deskset and the radio gateway. The CT can be
located, remotely anywhere on the IP network or locally using Ethernet connection.
• IP Network: This is the customer provided WAN/LAN IP Network.
• Two-Way Radio Devices: Provide the access to the customer LMR system. The Radios'
control panel appear at the MCD 5000 Deskset as a Virtual Control Head in the lower part
of the display.
The MCD 5000 Deskset can connect to following radios:
- ASTRO® Consolette (W9): ASTRO Spectra, ASTRO Spectra Plus, XTL5000
- CDM Series Radios: CDM1550, CDM1550 LS, CDM1550 LS+
- MCS 2000 Model III Control Station
• Operation And Maintenance Center Server (use only in system with an OMC): The
OMC Server is a main management server in the MCD 5000 Deskset System. It is
responsible to the MCD 5000 Deskset System operation, maintenance, provisioning, and
control. It is the central repository, where all system users (administrators, technicians)
and resources (MCD 5000s, and Radios) are registered, and where system-wide
information (alarms, logs, audits) is stored. The server runs on the Red Hat Linux
operating system. The Administrator Control Panel (ACP) Client PC provides a user level
interface to the OMC. Because of its importance, the OMC Server can be provided in a
warm-standby redundant configuration.
