This is the classic Rack View. We have
drawn enough rack space to accommodate up to
28 "repeaters". As each channel is used, it
will appear in the rack. You
will see the ID and the Talkgroup (there is
not room for alias
information here due to the small size of
the channel blocks but it does appear in the
other views). The color and the
description at the bottom of the repeater
indicates the type of call. This view shows the three panes within the Channel Status window
on the left. The top pane allows you to see that we have built in the ability to monitor individual sites within a SmartZone system. This would generally be done via the ATIA data input. Under some conditions, you would lose the next feature (DIAG) in that situation. The middle pane shows site diagnostics that come across the monitored site's control channel. These diagnostics stay RED until they are "acknowledged" by the operator. Simply clicking on a DIAG means that you acknowledge the diagnostic. The bottom pane shows you any busies that have occurred since you started GenWatch3®. While radios are in the busy queue, they will be RED. When the busy condition clears, the line will go black. The last 500 busies will show in the scrollable window. |
 |
| This is one of the new views
showing how it could look on a typical
SmartNet system. This shows a 10 channel
system. The background image, the size of
the channel blocks, the font and the colors
are all adjustable by the user. Anything
starting with GW$ is an alias that was
assigned by GenWatch3. It is a simple task
to change these to aliases that are
meaningful to you. |
 |
| This is the Totally
Summarized view of a single site. Each site is represented by
the larger block, and the very small blocks are the
channels. In this view, you do not see radio
or Talkgroup IDs. You simply see the
activity on the channels. Likely in a
SmartNet setting, you would not use this
view much, but as you will see further down
the page, it can be very valuable for
SmartZone installations. |
 |
| This is a typical Channel
view on a SmartZone system with the
Information Panel turned off. This gives you
the most screen real estate on which to view
your channel activity. This CAN be spanned
across many monitors and thus greatly
increased in size. Remember that the
background images can be set by the user. |
 |
| While this is not a normal
view that you would have open on your
desktop, this illustrates the point that the
Channel Module screen, when used on a
SmartZone system, does really track the
channel usage on all sites. Here, all sites
are MINIMIZED allowing the user to easily
choose the site(s) to maximize. |
 |
| This shows that the user can
set the font and the size to anything
desired. |
 |
| This shows that the size of
the channel boxes can be adjusted to suit
the taste of the user. If a large font is
being used, the box should be larger to
accommodate the font. |

 |
| Each call type has its own
color. By default, the colors are set as you
can see in the image to the right. BUT...
the user can easily change the colors to
suit his taste and needs. |
 |
| We caught an emergency call
and captured the screen so you can see how
that looks. |
 |
| Watching Radio Rejects is as
simple as viewing the middle panel on the
Channel Module screen. |
 |
| On the Channel Module screen,
we show the channel and site that are the
source of a call. As an example, looking at
the screen on the right, the source site and
channel for a group call is indicated by the
red box that we have added. You can see that
it is the source by the @ symbol in the
upper right corner of the channel block. The
yellow squares that we have added help you
to see the other channels on other sites
that are involved in the same call. |
 |
| Busies are shown in several
ways. In the lower left panel, the active
busy call appears red. Also, the header bar
on the site, glows orange, and at the bottom
of the Channel Module screen, you can see
the total busy count in bold red font. |
 |
| This shows active Group,
Private and Patch calls so you can see the
variety of colors presented for the various
call types. Private call is in blue so you
can easily see that the PVT call is
occurring on Site 19 channel 2 and site 20
channel 3. You'll also notice that the same
radio ID is showing on both sites. This will
update as the PTT volleys back and forth,
but it will still involve the same two
channels on the same two sites. |
 |
| This is a Zone Summary view.
This is a great way to look at all channels
on all sites and even all, or almost all
Zones! Each 'block' is a site and the small
squares inside each block are the channels.
The channel color shows the type of call
that is happening at that instant. You can
also see that the user can select their own
image as a background to dress up the NOC! |
 |
| If you right click on a Zone,
you get a box with three tabs. This tab
shows the high level hourly statistics for
that Zone. As you might guess, if you right
click on a Site or a Channel, you get the
same instant information about that item.
Below you can see the other tabs. |
