Overview
Retrieval of information from large systems can be time consuming and negatively
affect system performance. You can use the Scheduler utility to plan when to perform
these tasks, usually during hours when the number of users on the system are low, to
minimize the effect of this operation on the system’s performance.
Meridian 1 and CS 1000 systems can be programmed with relevant station data, list
data, and CPND data from the OTM application. The OTM application can also retrieve
data from a system. For example, you can create an OTM database for a system and then
upload relevant data to program a system. You can make modifications within OTM and
upload these to the system. At any time, you can download system data to OTM for
record-keeping or verification purposes. If you have a system and want to start using
OTM to administer the data, you download the data from the system and update the data
in OTM to include all OTM administrative and record-keeping data.
Your PC uses a modem to communicate, through normal telephone wires, with a modem
connected to the Meridian 1 or CS 1000 system. OTM can also use an Ethernet
connection on the CS 1000 system and, if it is available, on the Meridian 1 system. The
communications protocols must be predefined for each system. From the OTM
Navigator window, select the desired system.
To display the System Properties window, select File > Properties .
Select Communications tab to define the appropriate communications protocols for this
system.
