3.2 Starting up other software modules
Before selecting applications to be started, it is
important to first open an installation file and a
names file, as certain modules will not run unless an
installation and/or names file has been specified.
Even if you do not intend to immediately use
modules that use information from these files, it is
advisable to open them anyway, as this information
may be required later. You cannot create these files
in Startup, only specify them.
3.2.1 Selecting an installation- and a names file
The software uses two user-created files that contain
important information about the installed hardware
configuration and about delegates’ names. These files
are:
• Installation file - containing information about
channel assignments and the seat numbers that
have been assigned to all active contribution
units connected to the system. These seat
numbers and channels are assigned using the
System Installation module (LBB 4185).
• Names file - containing information about the
names of and details of participating delegates,
and which seat number they occupy. These
names are assigned using the Delegate Database
module (LBB 4180).
Applications may be started without specifying
either an installation or names files. However, some
applications will not open without the appropriate
installation or names file.
