EXCALIBUR INSTALLATION

Installing Excalibur System Programs
Installation of the Excalibur system programs is described in
the Excalibur 168 Installation and Setup Instructions manual,
PN 8000-1744-01. When installation is complete, the
Excalibur Program Group is available in the Windows 95
program files.
System Setup Programs
There are four setup programs for Excalibur: System Setup,
Operators, CAD, and Icon Setup. The setup procedures using
these programs are described in the Excalibur 168 Installation
and Setup Instructions manual, PN 8000-1744-01.
Excalibur System Setup program is used to define the system
information needed by all Excalibur system functions. This
information includes program and data file directories,
alarm module and switcher port setup, operators and
passwords, map sequences, sound and video access, and
data logging.
Excalibur Operators program allows a supervisor to add or
delete operators as in the Excalibur System Setup program,
but denies access to other Excalibur setup data such as
directories, map sequences, port configurations, video
setup, and logging data.
Excalibur CAD program is a drawing program used to create
the background maps and place the icons used by
Excalibur. The maps must be drawn and icons placed by
the Excalibur CAD program before the Excalibur Icon
Setup program is run.
Excalibur Icon Setup program provides setup for the alarm
interface module and the icons that reference alarms. This
program is used to define the attributes for each icon, such
as calling a specified camera to a specified monitor.
Optional Excalibur setup modules are available for setup of
unique icons, such as direct control of AD Quad operation.
The added icon setup capabilities are described in separate
manuals provided with each option.
System Operation Programs
There are two programs for operation of the Excalibur system:
Excalibur and Excalibur Log Reports. The instructions for
operation of these programs are contained in this manual.
Excalibur program (Section 2) provides the primary user
interface for control and operation of the connected Matrix
Switching Systems. This program provides all interfaces
for monitoring activity and alarms with video graphics,
mouse, and keyboard control.
Excalibur Log Reports program (Section 3) allows the
operator to view and/or backup the log data files that are
created on line by the Excalibur program. The Log Reports
program may be operated from within the Excalibur
program, or may be operated as a stand-alone program.
Optional Excalibur icon control functions are available for
unique icons. The added icon control capabilities are
described in separate manuals provided with each option.
