MOS CONFIGURATION GUIDE FOR QMASTER
1.Prerequisite: Install QMaster and QBox. The QMaster and QBox installation guide is here: http://support.autocue.com/public/Documents/QMaster 1.3/QMaster-QBox Install Guide.pdf
2.Confirm that you have been licensed for the MOS interface. In QMaster, go to Help->About and then click on the License tab.
If you don’t have the MOS Data DLL option, contact Autocue sales.
3. A note about MOS IDs
The newsroom system will have a MOS ID (also known as NCS ID) assigned to it. This MOS ID needs to be entered into QMaster MOS setup. Conversely, the prompter MOS ID will need to be entered into the newsroom system MOS setup as a target (or client) for the MOS communications. The actual MOS names you choose for the newsroom system and prompter system is not important. What is important is that you are consistent with the names across the two systems. For example: If the prompter MOS ID is set to be AUTOCUE and newsroom MOS ID is set to be ENPS, then AUTOCUE must be the name used in both the QMaster MOS setup and the newsroom system MOS setup as the prompter MOS ID. ENPS must be the name used in both the QMaster MOS setup and the newsroom system MOS setup as the newsroom system MOS ID. Note that MOS IDs are usually case sensitive.
4. As per the QMaster – QBox install guide instructions, you will have determined the version of QBox you have.
-For setting up MOS with version 1 QBox, proceed to Step 5.
-For setting up MOS with version 2 QBox, proceed to Step 6.
5. MOS Setup if using version 1 QBox:
In QMaster, go to Tools->Options->News Interfaces->MOS (r1)
In the Host tab, in the Local Host MOS ID field, enter the MOS ID of the prompter.
In the Local Storage Path, enter a path which will be used to store data received via MOS. Make sure the path is a folder that exists. If it doesn’t exist you must create it manually.
The “Set To Defaults” button will set the MOS ID to be the computer’s host name and set the Local Storage Path to be “C:\QMaster\Documents”.
In the Servers tab, click Add to add a server entry for the newsroom system.
NOTE: If using ENPS with two redundant servers, enter each server as a separate server entry, then check the “Enable Auto Buddy Server Mode” option.
Server Name is just an arbitrary name you choose to give the server entry a name in QMaster.
