Q/Tco brings point and click simplicity and expanded functions to NonStop DSM/TC (Mediacom). Q/Tco eliminates the cumbersome and wordy Mediacom commands and replaces them with clickable objects and menus. The displays have been designed for ease of movement throughout the DSM/TC database.
Q/TCO Datasheet
Q/TCO Flowchart
Q/Tco is a PC application that uses a server on the NonStop to retrieve and modify records and attributes of Mediacom (DSM/TC). Since Q/Tco is controlling DSM/TC it is not constrained by the limitations of Mediacom. So we have been able to expand upon the functions of DSM/TC and the way the data is displayed.
