WinCTX Offline Programming CTX R2.21 MH108
3-22 Strata CTX Programming - Part 2: CTX WinAdmin Programming 6/04
WinCTX Offline Programming CTX R2.21 MH108
The WinCTX software in conjunction with CTX WinAdmin 2.21A11 and higher, enables you to perform
offline programming for a Strata CTX100 or CTX670 system with Release R2.21 software MH109 or
MH110 only. With WinCTX and WinAdmin loaded on your PC, you can make programming changes
without being connected to the Strata CTX. WinCTX emulates the existence an operating CTX system so
WinAdmin can backup and save the edited programming data into a “default.dat” file on your PC. The
edited default.dat file can then be copied to a SmartMedia card and restored to a Strata CTX system.
CAUTION! Only use version MH108 of WinCTX on CTX Release 2.21 MH109 or MH110. Do not
use this version of WinCTX on other versions or releases of CTX software– data errors
will occur.
Tips and Limitations
1. The Download function of WinAdmin is not supported with WinCTX Off-line programming. You will
get error messages if you attempt to download programs.
2. Real time functions that only apply to an actual CTX (Date, Time of Day, etc.) do not apply to
WinAdmin Off-line programming.
3. When WinAdmin connects to WinCTX Off-line programming, the CTX Release will always show the
WinCTX release number in the System Setup screen and top information bar.
4. Licenses - always show fully licensed processors when viewing the License screen.
WinCTX Minimum PC Requirements
WinCTX must run on the WinAdmin PC so the requirements of the PC are the same as those for
WinAdmin. There are currently four WinCTX executable files. Each WinCTX executable file requires
about 15MB of hard drive space; or they can run from a CD-ROM to save hard drive space. A separate
WinCTX executable file is required for each CTX system (100 and 670) and each CTX release (R2.21) for
a total of four WinCTX files.
CTX WinAdmin Requirements for WinCTX
CTX WinAdmin, Version 2.21A11 or higher, is required to use WinCTX to edit CTX release 2.21 MH109
or MH110 system data.
Installing and Running WinCTX
WinCTX is a self-executable file and does not need to be installed. The executable file can be opened from
a CD-ROM, a folder on the hard drive or desktop icon. Click on the WinCTX.exe file or icon to run the
program. The “StopSNMPAgent.exe” file must be installed in the same directory as the WinCTX.exe file
(see “Run WinCTX” on page 3-23).
