Remote User Capability

Via any LAN or WAN TCP/IP connection. Client locations are licensed for selectable modules, Client locations can have all information or filtered information sent to them. Filtering is controlled and done at the highest level.

Remote RF-modem Capability

This can be done several different ways. The most popular is to use an RS232 to TCP/IP converter to send the remote RIMII data over any TCP/IP network to GenWatch3. The RIMII input can be via RS232 (local RIMII) or TCP/IP (remote RIMII).

Maximum Number of Printers

Set by Windows

Note: Adding this single module to GenWatch3 Commander Host will then give all capability of SIMSII and SystemWatchII in one place

Disk Logging

Commander: GenWatch3 Commander Host is packaged with MS SQL for Workgroups. Searching, filtering and subset generation can be performed on saved data. Very powerful feature. Storage length is limited to call volume and disk space available (generally 1-3 years). Choose the type of data that you want to store and how long it is stored. Use any SQL reporting software such as the reporting tools built into SQL, Crystal Reports from Business Objects and Excel from Microsoft.

Non-Commander: GenWatch3 can also write raw Control Channel data to a new file every hour.

Statistical Reports

Built-in, "canned" reports in general are: PTT trending, System Airtime Activity by call type, 3D Usage for selected TGs over time, Avg. Call Length by call type, Top 40 Usage IDs, Top 40 Usage TGs, Affiliations per site, Affiliations by hour of day, Busy seconds by hour of day, Busy seconds by TG, Emergency Call counts by TG & ID, Channel Usage, Site Usage. All history can be kept up to the hard disk limits (usually 1-2 years) and trending can be viewed over the same period. Since the GenWatch3 core reports are created in Excel, All reports can be created, printed, saved, emailed, sent to web pages, etc.

Filtering

Password protected top level filtering can be used to limit all Features, Systems, Talkgroups, and/or IDs. All remote users receive all RIMII data which can then be filtered locally by talkgroup and/or ID.

Trigger

Operator selects type of activity and/or IDs involved. When activity occurs, program pops open a window and beeps. Operator must acknowledge activity.

Set up triggers similar to Outlook Filters. You can alert the desktop, play a selectable sound file and/or close a relay that can set off lights, sirens, and other devices. Can look for DIAGs, presence of PTTs or lack of PTTs in a given time period, emergencies, and much more.

Specific Radio Sentry

Special window which shows system activity for a specified radio

Available via the Unit History option in the Alias screen

Control Channel Check

Periodically polls the inbound Control Channel to insure that it is functioning correctly

Motorola note: Historically this feature has had implementation problems inherent to the feature objectives

Monitors for the presence of the Control Channel and alerts the desktop on its absence within 5 sec. Message is sent to the event log and to any Syslog application that may be connected via the Syslog module. Advanced Alarming

Emergency Alarm Special Display

Display special text when an Emergency alarm is detected. Audible alarm. Requires operator acknowledgement to clear special display

Commander: This can be viewed from the All Activity window that is in the Core. Much more detail can be watched and acknowledged via the GW3-RCM-EA.

Graphical Advanced. Visual and audible alarms. This is a basic Emergency interface. Like other GenWatch3 modules, it is filterable.

Emergency alarm ACK

Automatic acknowledgement sent to radio which indicates to radio operator that the alarm has been processed

This is available from the RCM interface. Emergency Alarm screen has the ability to acknowledge EAs, make notes about an emergency, and easily do history reports.

Radio Check

Operator enters a single radio ID/alias. Program sends message to radio asking it to affiliate. Program displays the radio power on state and affiliation information.

AKA Request to Affiliate, Ping. This will show the currently affiliated talkgroup for a single ID or for a group of IDs (multiple radios can be checked at one time).

Print Logging

Trunking activity is printed as it occurs

This is an old way to print all activity that does not make sense in current technology. Functionality is provided by the GenWatch3 advanced disk logging feature to print anything that is desired, after the fact.

Supports voice on control, VOC (SmartSite DCC)

A site may use "voice on control" where the Control Channel is temporarily assigned for voice usage. During this time, the site has no Control Channel. Special signaling from the controller must be utilized to properly track this situation.

Commander:

Non-Commander: In conjunction with the Control Channel Check, we will indicate if the loss of Control Channel is due to VOC. We rely on the Control Channel's last word to be that it is now doing VOC. If that is missed due to interference, this may not fully function correctly. VOC should be avoided if at sll possible.

Remote network connection software is bundled in the Commander Series products

Multiple windows within a program frame, MDI (Multi Document Interface)

Full range of MS fonts, sizes and colors. Each TG window can be different to enable highlighting one TG more than another. All Control Channel data can be colorized, both foreground and background.
