Adding a Meter to a Four-Wire on the Canvas (Pre-Populated Port Viewer)

You can add a meter to a four-wire that has been dragged to the canvas, to form a pre-populated Port Viewer.

You can find a list of the available four-wires under the four-wire tab of the palette in Configure Canvas. All the four-wire ports present in the system configuration are displayed under the four-wires tab, except four-wire ports configured as either monitors or idents.

You cannot add a meter to an unpopulated (empty) Port Viewer, even after you have assigned a four-wire to that viewer. You can meter activity on this kind of viewer, however, by using the dynamic (cursor) meter (see Cursor Meter).

For more information about pre-populated and unpopulated (empty) Port Viewers, see Idents and Monitors (Split Label Ports).

To add an audio meter to a four-wire on the canvas (pre-populated Port Viewer):

  1. In Configure Canvas > four-wire tab, add the four-wire to the canvas.

  2. Select the Other tab. The meter control is displayed in the list of available items.

  3. To add an input meter, drag the meter control to the left-hand side of the pre-populated Port Viewer.

The meter is displayed on the left-hand side of the viewer:

  1. To add an output meter, drag the meter control to the right-hand side of the pre-populated Port Viewer.

The meter is displayed on the right-hand side of the viewer:

You cannot perform output level metering on ports that are not on the same system as the LMC-64 card.

If you are performing cross-system metering in a fiber-linked Eclipse system (the port being metered and the LMC-64 card are in different matrices), Clear-Com recommends placing the LMC-64 card in the matrix where most metering is likely to occur.
