Configure you lobby

Train pulling times are different for different lobbies. CMS allows the train pulling time to suite a Lobby requirement. A typical example of the data entry screen for Train pulling is shall be

Location Name	Pulling time for Guards	Pulling time for Loco Staff
RTM main line	30 min	15 min
RTM UP Yard	45 min	30 min
RTM DN Yard	35 min	25 min

A station code has been added before the Train pulling location essentially from CMS 1.6.0 onwards. This shall facilitate the crew to sign on at the station code appearing prior to the train pulling location. For example A lobby like Ghorpuri GPR can make a Train pulling location GPR – Mainline or PUNE – Mainline. When a TA is made for GPR-Mainine the crew can sign on at GPR with a call server from GPR while if the train pulling location is PUNE-Mainline then the crew can sign ON at PUNE for a call server from GPR lobby.

All such lobbies like GPR-PUNE, BSLX-BSL, BRCY-BRC are termed as sister lobbies by the CMS software.

The minimum pulling time is 15 min and the max pulling time is upto 1 Hr is the limit provided.
