(the "CRT"), a standard PC keyboard and a pointing device

such as a mouse. A diagram illustrating equipment

interconnections is shown in the Installation And Set-Up

Manual included within this manual set.

CPU Enclosure

Like all standard PC systems, the PC’s CPU enclosure

utilized within a C3 Maestro console system houses all

microprocessor and logic-related components. Currently,

Intel Pentium-class systems are employed:

•

Main/System (“Mother”) Board

—The main/

system board contains all primary PC logic circuits

including the Pentium

microprocessor chip, sys-

tem read-write random-access memory (RAM),

basic input/output system (BIOS) memory, cache

memory, video drive circuits, video memory cir-

cuits, control logic, PC keyboard interface circuits,

serial and parallel port interface circuits, expansion

connectors, etc.

•

Hard Disk Drive

—The hard disk drive within the

CPU enclosure stores all Windows NT operating

system software files, all C3 Maestro console ap-

plication and configuration software files, and other

factory- or customer-installed PC-compatible soft-

ware files.

•

Floppy Disk Drive

—Typically, each CPU

enclosure is equipped with a 3½-inch floppy disk

drive to provide file transfer capability between

other PC-compatible systems via 3½-inch floppy

disk media. This drive may also be utilized at the

factory during software installations.

•

Disk Drive Interface Logic Circuits

—Disk drive

interface logic circuits may be an integral part of

the main/system board or they may be located on a

separate expansion card/board installed in one of

the PC expansion slots.

•

Power Supply

—The CPU enclosure’s internal

power supply delivers direct current (dc) operating

power to all circuits within the enclosure. It

converts externally-supplied 115/230-Volt

(nominal) ac power into several different dc power

sources required by the CPU enclosure’s internal

electronic logic circuits.

•

RS-422-Compatible Serial Communications

Interface Board

—Normally, an RS-422-

compatible serial communications interface board

is installed in a PC expansion slot. It provides a

highly-reliable RS-422 serial port for the console-

to-CEC/IMC serial control data link.

NOTE

For detailed PC hardware-related system

specifications, refer to the C3 Maestro console for

Windows NT Administrator’s Manual,

AE/LZB 119 1897.

Optional hardware devices may also be installed within

the PC’s CPU Enclosure. This hardware includes:

•

Touch-Screen Monitor Controller Board

—If the

console is equipped with a touch-screen monitor, a

special controller board may be installed in one of

the PC expansion slots. This board receives screen

touch data from the connected touch-screen

monitor and passes the data to the Windows NT

operating system via the PC’s expansion bus

interface. Windows NT interprets the data as mouse

point-and-click user input actions. The interpreted

data is then passed to the currently active

Windows-based application, typically the console

application. In some cases, the touch-screen

monitor is serially interfaced to the PC; therefore,

this controller board is not required and it is not

installed to support the touch-screen monitor.

•

Network Interface Board

—If the PC system

requires access to a computer network, a network

interface board will be installed in one of the PC

expansion slots. Network interface boards are

available from the factory as optional equipment.

Video Display Monitor ("CRT")

The PC's video display monitor provides all visual

dispatch control indications to the console user/dispatcher. It

is the output device for the console’s Graphical User

Interface (GUI). See page 14 for additional information on

the GUI, including a sample screen display.

Many different video display monitor types may be

used with the console, including touch-screen units. All

monitors available from the factory are CRT-type (cathode-

ray tube) monitors; hence, the C3 Maestro console is

sometimes referred to as a “CRT console.”

Standard Monitor

A C3 Maestro console for Windows NT standard

equipment package includes a standard PC-AT compatible

14-inch monitor. Optionally, a 17-inch monitor may be

substituted for the smaller monitor when the console

equipment package is ordered from the factory. Resolution

on a factory-supplied 14-inch monitor is typically VGA or

super-VGA and all 17-inch monitors are super-VGA units.

As of the writing of this manual, monitors larger than 17

inches are not available from the factory. A standard
