USRAck
Settings
MTELPage now has two additional menu items, Paging and
USRAck. USRAck is simply short for User
Acknowledgement.
Selecting the Set Default for either sets MTELPage to start up in either
the Paging Screen or the USRAck screen.
The USRAck has an additional sub-menu item, Set
AutoShow.
If
this is ticked the USRAck screen will appear every time an update
arrives for the USRAck system.
Except if the user is sending a message.
If
Set USRAck is unticked the USRAck is only
displayed when the user choses to view it.
i.e. it is completely manual and the
user must select the display to view it.
Auxiliary Acknowledgement
Auxiliary Acknowledgement is now a separate frame inside MTELPage.
The separate window in 2016 was not user friendly for some Comms
centres so it has been removed.
The new interface provides a larger display of information and history
back at least 7 days.
The rank and distance to the station are now added to each responder. If
the distance is unknown it is displayed with a question mark
[?m]. Distances larger than 9999 metres are
displayed as [>10k].
When a turnout is active the banner changes
colour as shown below.
Open
File Connections
The
"picocell pstn data.mdb" is now closed after
all transactions. This will assist in reducing problems from interrupted
network outages affecting connections to this file.
Turnout
box
In
previous version the Turnout box was not cleared after being selected in a
turnout. This affected the next turnout.
It is
now cleared every time the Enter Client frame is rebuilt.
Upgrade
to mtelmess.mdb
MTELPage Client C99 is now responsible for delivering
all booked messages, backing up and now
the User Acknowledgement summaries are created
as well. The summaries are created at the completion of each turnout period.
The summaries are then available for all MTELPage users through the
mtelmess.mdb history file.
Since
C99 client now performs vital functions, it also sends watchdog information
to the MTEL servers to verify normal operation. MTEL will be advised
automatically if the C99 client is closed or has failed.
