• If you use the Motorola peripherals, see USB Audio Interface Module on page 93 and MCC 7100 Peripheral Configuration Tool on page 116.
• If you use non-Motorola peripherals only, see MCC 7100 Peripheral Configuration Tool on page 116. 9 Optional: Setup other MCC 7100 IP Dispatch Console-related components:
• If you use the Instant Recall Recorder software, see Instant Recall Recorder on page 127.
• If you use the Console Alias Manager client, see Configuring Console Alias Manager for MCC 7100 Software in an ASTRO 7.11 System on page 150.
