receiver command.
The modify receiver command is used to maintain the receiver configuration list on
ApexPro towers. See "ApexPro Receiver Configuration"
description of ApexPro receiver configuration concepts.
The configuration list indicates how many receivers are reserved for specific units.
The list also indicates whether specific units can admit to unassigned receivers (this
is a yes-no switch-type item entered for each unit name in the list). Units can have
both reserved receivers and access to unassigned receivers
If a unit's use-unassigned-receivers flag is yes, admits to the unit can use all
explicitly assigned receivers, as well as any discharged, unassigned receivers. If a
unit's use-unassigned-receivers flag is no, the unit can only use the number of
receivers allocated for it, and no more.
It is possible for a unit to have reserved receiver count of zero. A unit with a
reserved receiver count of zero would have no receivers explicitly assigned to it. In
this case, the unit's use-unassigned-receivers flag must be yes or the unit would not
be able to admit to the tower. With this in mind, if no receivers need to be allocated
to specific units, all units entered in the list can have their reserved-receiver counts
set to zero, and their use-unassigned-receivers flag set to yes.
If the list of unit names and their count of reserved receivers is empty (i.e., no unit
names are entered), the ApexPro tower accepts admits from any unit. However, if
even one unit name is entered, then ALL unit names needing access to the tower
must be entered.
For example, a receiver rack containing 16 receivers is configured with 4 In some
instances, it is necessary to assign receivers to particular care units. For example, a
receiver system (rack) connected to a separate antenna system is installed, and only
one Unity Network MC network ties all the CIC Pro/ApexPro systems together. The
ptsconfig command modify receiver is used to associate specific care units to
specific racks.
