CHAPTER 3
If the computer was purchased from Med Associates as part of a system, much of the hardware configuration
has already been completed. The hardware summary may be viewed or printed to review the current settings.
The end user will not need to change the number of boxes or specific input and output definitions unless additional
CICs (racks) or new Interface Cards (IC) are added on to the system. Run the configuration utility from the
Windows Start menu and press the appropriate Auto Map button to see the I/O configuration and confirm the
orientation. If changes are needed one can use the following steps to set up the configuration.
This getting started guide is designed to get the user up and running using OmniCtrl cards and a single CIC with
each card assigned to 1 or 2 control panels. It is reproduced with minimal changes and many abridgements
from
the
Med
www.med-associates.com/resources/manuals. For these and more advanced installation and operation
instructions, especially when installing multiple card types together such as SmartCtrl or SuperPort cards we
recommend referencing DOC-335.
Hardware Configuration
The Hardware Configuration Utility (HCU) may be accessed at any time when adding hardware to or removing
it from a system. Omni Control cards map themselves automatically, so this utility will be used mostly for
confirmation with OmniCtrl users. If errors are present in the mapping of the cards, they can be corrected here,
but errors in OmniCtrl card mapping may be indicative of other technical failures and the user should contact
Med Associates support.
