Page 21: Data Logging Feature
LBI-39224 1.3 DATA LOGGING FEATURE One of the most important features of the CEC/IMC Manager (MOM PC) is its ability to log data. All data that is placed on the GSC Bus in the CEC/IMC is logged at the MOM Controller Board. The MOM Controller Board then periodically dumps its data log buffer to the CEC/IMC Manager through their serial link.

LBI-39224 Local/Remote Conventional Channel Dispatch After a console has received the System Manger conventional channel database information and its privilege list, local and remote conventional channel communications operate almost identically. The console operator can program the channel to a communication module, dispatch to the channel, exercise any available conventional channel relay function (local/remote, main/standby, etc.), or patch/simulselect the channel to other conventional channels or trunked groups.

LBI-39224 Glossary of Terms Aegis Aegis is Ericsson's digital voice audio system that employs advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) circuitry. Aegis has two primary modes – "Aegis digital" and "Aegis private." Aegis digital mode offers improved weak signal performance and impedance to unauthorized monitoring when compared to standard analog (clear) voice transmissions.
Page 314 LBI-39224 Call Director patch The Call Director patch feature allows the dispatcher at a console to "patch" a telephone line to a specific unit, talk group, conventional channel, or radio patch in the CEC/IMC network. The term patch or patched, derived from phone patch, is used to signify the CD is connected to the CEC/IMC.
Page 315 The CEC/IMC Manager (formerly referred to as the "MOM PC") provides CEC/IMC monitoring and configuration functions. This IBM PC compatible computer running custom software developed by Ericsson is the window into the CEC/IMC for the system administrator and service technicians.

Controller Board The Controller Board processes control data, holds databases, and controls the Audio Boards within its respective interface module. CTIM Centralized Telephone Interconnect Module – The CTIM is a CEC/IMC interface module used to connect Centralized Telephone Interconnect System (CTIS) equipment to the CEC/IMC so radio users and dispatchers can access land-line telephone systems.
Page 317 LBI-39224 EDACS Enhanced Digital Access Communication System – The term "EDACS radio system" refers to RF equipment that may be interfaced to the EDACS CEC/IMC Digital Audio Switch. The RF equipment may be located at a single location, such as an EDACS trunked site or it may be located at several locations, such as in a voting system.
Page 318 LBI-39224 GETC Ericsson General Electric Trunking Card – The GETC is a microprocessor-controlled shelf that can be configured to perform many different signal processing tasks for EDACS radio communications equipment. In CEC/IMC applications, each GETC is equipped with a 9600 baud modem that provides serial control data communications between different radio systems.

Page 321 Request Status Monitor – The RSM is an IBM PC compatible computer running custom software developed by Ericsson. It allows the system administrator and/or the dispatchers to view status of EDACS units within the CEC/IMC network. Status information is typically initiated (transmitted) by the radio operator to identify the current condition (in route, at scene, etc.) of the unit.
