Question   Multicast doesn't seem to be working on my Telex Dispatch system - what are good next steps to troubleshoot for possible network issues?   Answer   The problem can come from many reasons, the two most common are the following: 1. The TTL value entered isn't high enough for the number of router hops and Multicast packets are being pruned by the network before reaching the end point unit.  Try increasing the TTL value. 2. By default WAN or Layer 3 networks will not pass multicast traffic, a good next step to test overall port number addressing.  Configure a number of devices for "point to point" Unicast instead of "point to multi-point" Multicast.   Enter the IP address of the far end IP unit into the Multicast address field of the local IP unit.  Do this for both ends. If console and radio traffic now work using Unicast the network is not configured correctly for Multicast traffic an you need to work with the IT manager for resolution.          . © Copyright Bosch Security Systems All rights reserved.

Question   How can I create an appealing C-Soft design?   Answer   When our customers design their C-Soft consoles, often times the functionality of the designs are good but the appearance has a lot to be desired. Here are some basic tips on how to make a design that has a much more professional look, promotes dispatcher efficiency and operational accuracy, as well as cuts down on visual fatigue. - Use a uniform style and size on the design, as is appropriate.  Avoid mismatched font sizes. - Use contrasting colors for text and background colors.  Similar colors are difficult to read. - Use symetry in the overall design for a neat, balanced appearance. - Take advantage of the choices in global button styles.  - Use complementary colors in the design.  If in doubt, use a color wheel to choose compatible colors. - Take advantage of pop-up windows to conserve console real estate. - Take advantage of C-Soft's capabilities to add image files to the display background. Two examples of the same C-Soft design are shown below.  One is the way it was received from a customer (except the names have been changed). The second example is the same design that has been modified cosmetically only, except for the addition of mute buttons.  The difference speaks for itself. Figure 1 - The beginning design.
