Setup:
This is a single starfall screen. Unlike EGP, it runs on its own without another chip controlling it.
Place near to a Stargate you own. That's it. It'll automatically find your gate, and it's iris if it has one. There is no wiring needed.
If you want to wire it to a Stargate, you can, and that will override the automatic search.

Functionality:
This dialling computer has 3 different screens.

STATUS: Shows the gate display, status log and dialling controls.

• DIAL - Dials the current address
  
• CLOSE - Closes the gate / Aborts dialling
  
• NEXT - Proceeds to next address in list
  
• PREV - Returns to previous address in list
  

ADDRESSES: Shows a list of all non-private gates that can be dialled, including those with no name/address.

• Non-addressed gates will show, but cannot be dialled.

OPTIONS: Displays the current gate options, and allows you to toggle them.

• PRIVATE - Toggle private mode of gate
  
• MODE - Switch between Slow, Fast and Nox (Instant)
  
• LOCAL - Toggle local mode of gate
  
• BLOCKING - Toggle blocking mode of gate
  
• SOUNDS - Toggle inbound alarm

• - (Only with iris)
  
• AUTO IRIS - Toggles automatic iris close on inbound
  
• SAFE MODE - Toggles automatic iris during unstable vortex

• - (Only on specific gate classes)
  
• RING LIGHT (Pegasus only) - Toggles the ring light
  
• LIGHTS (Movie only) - Toggles chevron lamps (SG1 style)
  

There is also the utility bar at the bottom of the screen, which allows switching between screens and toggling of the iris. It also displays the current gate status.

IDC codes are handled internally (No reciever required), and are allocated by chat command. Type /help in chat for a list of chat commands.

This Dialling Computer will also override all other forms of dialling for players that aren't you or an admin. Eg DHDs and Nox hands won't work.

Some useful information is printed straight to the console, rather than chat. This includes what objects come through the gate, and scan results looking for players on the other end.
