Setting Up the Control Stream

Before you can load the catalog data CD or tape, and receive catalog updates, you must modify the catalog control stream in Maintain Transmission Control Stream (MTC).

Note to Ace and True Value members only: If you are already running EFM ("Hotsheet") transmissions, you can skip this section, because the EFM control stream updates the catalog.   

Setting Up the Control Stream

  1. From the Eagle Browser, type MTC in the Launch field, and press ENTER.

  1. In the Maintain Transmission Control Stream window, click the arrow in the Control Stream Name box and select the control stream you want to modify from the drop-down list.  For True Value, select COTEFM. For Ace, select ACEEFM.  For Do it Best, select HWIEFMTC.

  2. Click one of the following for specific setup instructions.

True Value

Ace

  1. To modify a line of the control stream, click in the column you need to modify, click the arrow that displays, and enter the new information.

  2. Check the phone number on the line that begins with DPA.  If you need to add a dialing prefix (for example, you have to dial 9 to get an outside line), enter the dialing prefix, a comma, and then the phone number.

Example:  if your dialing prefix is 9, and the phone number is 1-800-555-1212, the line should like this:

DPA9,18005551212

  1. Click Change.
