Telecomms - That mess of computers and you!

[HalfdeadKiller]

Hi. This guide is going to be my notes in my ongoing documentation of how Telecomms works and is set up. First. A picture illustrating how everything is linked together in the main Telecomms room. This is going to be important if Telecomms somehow breaks.




And now, a full copy of every machines default configuration.
The machines are organized on a left to right basis. For example, the broadcasters and receivers. Going down the text list, and looking at the image, you'll see that Broadcaster A is at the far left, B is to the middle left, Receiver A is to the middle right, and Receiver B is to the far Right. Servers are done in a top down fashion, since they are in top down in the image.

Upon examination of the Telecomms Hub, you'll notice that Telecomms Relay [0x200900c] and Telecomms Relay [0x200900e] -should- be the relays near the Hub. I forgot to put their info in my multi-tool buffer to find out for sure. You'll also notice there are three other telecomms relays, that are not equal to those Hex strings of the other relays. This means they are other relays. I assume they are the prison map telecomms relay, the planet telecomms relay, and the bridge telecomms relay.

There is one problem with linking the planet and prison map relays to the hub. We do not have physical access to the Planet's relay. I don't know where the prison map's relay is unfortunately, and therefore do not know if physical access is possible. In the event that the hub is completely wiped of links, the engineering team is going to have to go to the planet, and set up a new telecomms station, complete with a Broadcaster, a Receiver, a Processor, and a Bus Mainframe, and perhaps a Telecomms Relay due to the lack of physical access to the planet's telecomms relay. Testing is necessary to further my understanding of inter-zlevel communication. I think building a separate Telecomms relay on the planet, and linking it to the hub in the main telecomms room, should re-enable communications with the planet, if main telecomms loses its linkages.

On the topic of machines, I am unsure what the filtering part of telecomms is for. I assume that by filter, it means the machine does not pay attention to those frequencies. Testing will be necessary.

The other relays are always locked off in super secret rooms. With 0 access

[Ms.Degrasse]

Great work, Minijar.

Just out of my curiosity: You was the maintenance technician who asked Erin 'Tin Can' Cyric (as engineer) to inspect the telecomm servers, and then watched his boss eventually be snatched by an alien? (That scene was amazing.)

[HalfdeadKiller]

The problem with locking them in super secret rooms, is that they are unable to be relinked without admin intervention. And yes, I was. That scene was quite intense.
