Chapter 1 Introduction

This manual describes the Inbound Event Display (IED) operator organizational feature, available as a software add-on for CENTRACOM Gold Series
IED software enhances an Elite console to perform similar to a call-based console, as opposed to channel based console. On the Elite Dispatch operator interface, IED is displayed as a movable call queue window for radio messages and radio statuses.
This interface is available to operator positions that have the capability assigned in the Console Database Manager (CDM) application.
The display itself has initial similarity to the Dispatch application's Activity Log but allows a variety of configurations for how events are displayed and handled by operators.
This manual covers network and message router installation and configuration, capability assignment in the Elite Console Database Manager (CDM), configuring the display using Elite Admin and the operation of Inbound Event Display in Elite Dispatch.
Elite console operator positions.
