Application Tools¶

Save to devices¶

The Save to Devices button stores the current running configuration of all adopted devices into permanent startup configuration. This is necessary to allow devices to function completely without the Green-GO control software.

An orange badge will indicate a difference between the current running configuration and the startup configuration. Indicating the need to store this changes on the devices.

Start a setup assistant¶

Setup assistants will help you create new configuration items, simplifying basic tasks like creating a group to more complex tasks like setting up an IFB. These assistants will guide step by step through all the necessary steps to setup these new items.

• Create User(s) assistant - create one or multiple users including device profiles
• Create Group(s) assistant - create one or multiple empty groups
• Create Room(s) assistant - create one or multiple rooms, optional assign the room to users
• Create Template assistant - create an empty template
• Create Script assistant - create a script and optionally upload an existing script
• Create IFB assistant - create all the necessary components for an IFB
• Create Party-line assistant - create a party-line group including members
• Create One to Many assistant - create a one to many group where one user can talk to multiple other users - these many will reply to the one without others hearing.

Getting support¶

The support function enables remote secure SSL access over the internet, allowing a known person to access the application. This person can see the entire config and statuses of connected devices. And can be granted acces to also change all properties of the config. The connection is ad-hoc - meaning the ID and password combination is only valid for one session - and is not supposed to be an unattended access connection.

To set up a remote support session, click the 'enabled' button. A cloud generated ID an password will be provided to ensure privacy. The ID and password can be given to the person intended to provide the support. As soon as the connection is established, the status will change to 'connected' and the icon will change to: . The remote user can now see the application. To allow editing of by the remote party make sure to thick the edit checkbox. By changing the button back to 'disabled', the connection is immediately broken.

Remote support does NOT mirror the screen. The person providing support can only see and change all config settings. The support connection does not change the view of the local application either. For training purposes where mouse pointer movement and screen views are necessary, a third party application like Team viewer can be used.

To enable providing support, the application needs to be started in support mode.

Providing support¶

To provide support, the application needs to be started in support mode by pressing the SUPPORT button from the opening splash screen. You will be prompted with a screen to enter the Connection ID and password.

When entered correctly you will connect to the remote site and are able to navigate through the application and view all properties. with edit enabled on the remote side it is also possible to control and change the remote application and devices.

• All Changes, settings and statuses are shared live between the receiving and providing support sides.
• All levels are NOT shared between the two sides, the providing side will not see the active levels on the receiving side

File menu¶

The file tool enables the current config to be saved to disk, a new config to be started or a previous config file to be loaded.

CREATE NEW

Loads a new, empty config file. The name and sample rate need to be determined

QUICK START

Loads a new config and starts the Quick start wizard with the default settings

OPEN

Enables accessing and loading previously saved *.gg5 config files

SAVE

Saves the current config and all settings to a *.gg5 file

SAVE AS

After entering a (new) file name and location, saves the current config and all settings to a *.gg5 file

MERGE

A previously saved (partial) *.gg5 file can be merged into the current file. Previously created sections like users or templates can be easily imported into the current config in this way

When Merging Config Files

Parts of the current config can be overwritten when merging config files. For example; if a user with ID 1 exists in both config files, the user in the current config file will be overwritten by the one in the previously created config file upon merging. A merge action cannot be undone, therefore be sure to back up your config file before executing a merge.

Importing V4 legacy files¶

Green-GO 5 offers the option to import legacy config *.ggc files. This is done by simply opening a *.ggc file.

The following items will be crated and assigned

• create groups (Id and Name) for each V4 GreenGO Group
• create users (Id and Name)for each V4 GreenGO User
• Set special channel properties for each user (Assign announcement, Emergency, Program audio; program level and dim)
• Assign channels for each user (Assignment id, Talk mode, Call mode, Priority and Listen)

Other properties and Config settings are NOT imported as there is no unambiguous way to convert these. The original file will not be altered, the file needs to be saved as a new *.gg5 config file. there is no option to convert changes back to V4.
