The Configuration Setup¶
The Config view has 4 cards that each have a specific purpose;
- Config Settings for global config adjustments
- Config Security for security related settings
- Config Info gives information on non user-changeable properties
- Config Colors for customizing channel status colors appearing on devices & software
Attention: Changing some of the config settings will trigger a new config ID. When the config gets a new ID, the previously adopted devices need to be readopted to become a member of the same config again
Properties that trigger a new ID are:
- Samplerate
- Multi-cast Address
Config Settings¶
- Config Name The name of the config as displayed on the devices or in the network view
- Config Description An optional longer description of the config file can be set here which will be visible in recently loaded items
- Samplerate The sample rate determines the Audio Quality. Default setting is 32 kHz which provides a 15 kHz audio bandwidth
- Multi-cast Address The IPv4 multi-cast address that is used for this config. By default, a random address is created for a new config. For managed IT situations a fixed multi-cast address can be entered in this setting
Config Security¶
- Config Password A config password can be set to block new devices from joining a config on the network. When a password is set, devices can only join the password-protected config when the correct password is entered on the device or through Green-GO Control
- Admin Password An admin password can be set to block users from changing a config file. When creating or joining a config, no changes can be made before the correct admin password is entered
- Tech Pin-code The tech PIN code can be used to give a qualified technician access to blocked menu items, set in User Security. If no PIN code is set, blocked menus are inaccessible on the device
Setting a Config Password
Implement this feature cautiously. Green-GO does not encourage the casual use of this feature. If you set password security in Green-GO control and forget or lose your password, you will lose access to your configuration file. If you implement password protection, please document your password in a secure location.
Config Info¶
The config info card gives information on non user changeable config properties
- Created At The timestamp of the creation of the config file
- Saved At The time when the config file was last saved to disk
- Timestamp The time when the config was last saved to the devices
- Config ID The ID of the config is a randomly generated number that gets assigned when the config is created or when the sample rate or multi-cast address is changed. The Config id is the Unique identifier of a config. All devices with a config with the same Config ID are member of the same config and are able to communicate
- Software version The version of the software the config was created with
Config Colors¶
The appearance of the config on devices and in the Green-GO Control software can be customized by altering the config colors. These colors are used to indicate the channel status on devices and in the channel lists in the Green-GO Control software.
The channel status is dependent on e.g. enabled talks or incoming calls.
each status has 3 properties: Color 1, Color 2 and Blink.
- Color 1 is the base color
- Color 2 defines the blink color
- Blink rate sets the period and duty cycle of the blink
Color 1 is the base color of the channel status and color 2 and blink are used to give the status a dynamic behavior. If the Blink rate is set to No blink, color 2 is ignored.
Colors¶
There is a fixed set of colors available to choose from;
- Black (off)
- White
- Red
- Green
- Blue
- Cyan
- Magenta
- Yellow
- Orange
- Purple
Blink Rate¶
The blink rate sets the duration and duty cycle of the blink, alternating between the two set colors 1 and 2.
Blink | Period | Duty Cycle |
---|---|---|
No blink | always color 1 | 100% |
2 second | 2 second | 50% |
1 second | 1 second | 50% |
½ second | ½ second | 50% |
¼ second | ¼ second | 50% |
½ second pulse | 2 second | 25% |
¼ second pulse | 2 second | 12,5% |
Default Status Colors¶
A new config is by default created with the following colors;
color | state | status | description |
---|---|---|---|
Solid | Free | The channel dis not assigned. | |
Solid | No member | The channel is assigned but no receiving devices are present. | |
Solid | Idle Muted | The channel is assigned but muted. | |
Solid | Idle | The channel is assigned and idle, ready to receive audio. | |
Solid | Active | The channel is active but no _vox_audio is received. | |
Solid | Active Vox | The channel is active and receiving vox audio. | |
Blinking | the Active muted | The channel is active but is muted. | |
Solid | Talk | Channel is open and ready for vox audio transmission. | |
Solid | Autotalk | Channel open by autotalk and ready for transmission. | |
Blinking | Cue Attention | Channel receives a Cue Attention signal. | |
Solid | Cue Go | Channel received a Cue GO signal. | |
Solid | Call | Channel received a short Call signal. | |
Blinking | Alert Call | Channel is receiving an Alert Call. | |
Solid | GPIO control | Channel is acting under GPIO control. |
