<br style="clear:both;" />
<br>
Please observe - Only call requests (623 + directory number) are registered by the PACOM GMS.<br>
Incoming intercom call requests are registered in the Intercom Manager. The Intercom Manager is shown pushing the Intercom Manager button in the tool box line.<br>
The site map is shown by selecting the Summary Manager (from the View menu in the tool box line) and picking the right site.
Displaying the Transaction Manager from the View-menu may also be of interest.

==PACOM GMS Demo System Configuration==
To configure the PACOM GMS correctly the following components have to be setup:
* PACOM GMS Server
* PACOM GMS Intercom Gateway
* Stentofon Plugin

===Configuration of the PACOM GMS Server===
The files to change are (server installed in "'''C:\GMS'''")
* C:\GMS\Customer\Updatable\GMS32_COMMON.INI
* C:\GMS\Customer\Updatable\GMS32_SERVERS.CONFIG
* C:\GMS\Customer\Intercom\Intercom.ini

====Changes in in GMS32_COMMON.INI====
Probably no changes. Check with documentation.

====Changes in in GMS32_SERVERS.CONFIG====
The section [SA SERVER] configures the Stand Alone Server.<br>
The database name is the default name.<br>
“Name” is the computer name.<br>
"Share" uses default value.<br>
SQL Database is accessed using Windows authentication.<br>
Administrator Operator logs in automatically. 

<nowiki>[SA SERVER]</nowiki><br>
GMS Database name=GMS32DBASE<br>
Name=FGN46Y2<br>
<nowiki>;Share=</nowiki><br>
SQL Connection Trusted=1<br>
AutoLogon=1<br>

====Changes in Intercom.ini====
The sections [Intercom Gateway] and [dispatch] have to be changed. Use your computer name for the “Host”.

[Intercom Gateway]<br>
<nowiki>;host name of a PC running the intercom gateway service</nowiki><br>
Host=FGN46Y2<br>
<br>
[dispatch]<br>
<nowiki>; WS_NO=siteID/IntercomDvcId, siteID/IntercomDvcId...</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>; all values are 1-based. IntercomDvcId can be * for 'all'. WS_NO can be * for all.</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>; example: 5=3/*, 8/1, 9/12 meaning "workstation 5 should receive all intercom requests from site 3,</nowiki> and requests from 8/1 and 9/12</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>; use 65 for ActiveServer, 1 for Standalone.</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>;</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>;*=*/*</nowiki><br>
1=1/3,1/4,1/5<br>
<nowiki>;65=1/*</nowiki><br>

====Creating a Site Map====

====Changes in IntercomGatewayWindowsService.exe.config====
In this file the value for the key “GmsServer1” is set to the name of the computer and the value for the key “Driver1” is set to “PACOM.StentofonDriver.dll”.<br>

<?xml version="1.0"?><br>
<configuration>
    <appSettings>
        <add key="GmsServer1" value="FGN46Y2"/>
        <add key="Driver1" value="PACOM.StentofonDriver.dll"/>
    </appSettings>
    <startup><supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5"/></startup>
</configuration> <br>

====Changes in StentofonDriverConfig.xml====
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<StentofonConfiguration>
  <System>
    <!-- Configure a single master station  -->
    <MasterInterComStation>101</MasterInterComStation>
    <!-- 0 to Disable debug log, 1 to enable debug logging  -->
    <Debug>1</Debug>
    <DisableMasterTimer>30</DisableMasterTimer>
    <!-- A delay (millseconds) to apply between "request wait" and "call connect" commands -->
    <DelayTimeAfterReqWait>1500</DelayTimeAfterReqWait>
  </System>
  <!-- GMS workstation number to the directory number mapping. Also Disable/Enable the master station keypad  -->
  <GMSToDirNoMapping>
    <DirNo GMSWorkStationNo="1" DisableMaster="YES">101</DirNo>
    <DirNo GMSWorkStationNo="2" DisableMaster="YES">102</DirNo>
    <DirNo GMSWorkStationNo="3" DisableMaster="YES">103</DirNo>
    <DirNo GMSWorkStationNo="4" DisableMaster="YES">104</DirNo>
    <DirNo GMSWorkStationNo="5" DisableMaster="YES">105</DirNo>
  </GMSToDirNoMapping>
</StentofonConfiguration>

====IntercomGatewayWindowsService Log On Type====
Change the Log-on type for the IntercomGatewayWindowsService to “Local Service”:<br>
Right Click Start->Run  and enter “services.msc”. Find  “PACOM GMS Intercom Gateway” and set the “Log On As” to “Local Service”. Password is the user password.
