backIntroduction
RadioTraffic.com converts to an SS32 log format.
Station Configuration
To configure RadioTraffic.com to work with Scott Studios SS32/DSS, you will first need modify the station configuration to utilize Scott Studios SS32/DSS as the automation system. In the administration module, open 'Stations'. Select the station you want to configure and double click. Once the station configuration is visible, select the 'Files' tab. Select the 'Product' Scott Studios SS32/DSS using the drop down selection tool. The 'Automation Log Path' is where RadioTraffic.com will export the log to, so set this to the file system folder that Merge32/Playlist Editor will pull the file from.
Cart Numbers
Scott Studios SS32/DSS systems use 5 digit numeric cart numbers.
Automation Commands
Though this is usually handled through the Merge32/Playlist editor it can be done in the Radio Traffic system. To configure an automation command open the Administration module and double click the Templates. Select the station you want to add the command. At the top of the Template window select Log Elements - Automation Commands. You will get a list of existing commands or a blank window. Clicking "New" at the bottom will bring up the Automation Command window. For description put in something that you will recognize such as "Antenna Lights". Command will be what is actually happening, to continue with the example you can put in "Switcher 1 Output Closure 2". The final field is the Cart #. This is where you would put what the SS32/DSS system needs to see to send the command, to complete the example "APCLSR2". These are generic examples and depend on the configuration of the individual SS32/DSS system.
Note: If necessary, you may need to enter the cart # field formatted as CAT|DA#### which will export the CAT portion as the category and the DA#### as the cart number.

Breaks
Break markers do not automatically export to the Scott Studios SS32/DSS export and are used strictly inside of RadioTraffic.com as a means of scheduling.c
Automatic Log Reconciliation
We fully support automatic log reconciliation for the Scott Studios SS32/DSS aired logs. To configure this feature, you need to determine where these files are located on your network and use that path to configure the "Aired Log Path". This is generally "\\MACHINE NAME\C\SS32\Air for an SS32 system using Merge32 and \\MACHINE NAME\D\RADIO AUTOMATION\RAS CORE\AIRLOG. Again these are generic setting and may not apply to your configuration.
