The individual group configuration page consists of three sections: general configuration section, the
operation buttons, and the tab section.
Note: the User access level on this page can only carry out the following operations:
Select a group
Retrieve a group
Load a group
Refresh the active group information
Apply the edited group
Control RF function ON/OFF
Control analog audio volume(s) and audio pair volume lock(s) if available
Select encryption mode and key index
Section 1:
The general configuration section provides the Active Group Index, the selected Group, and the
Group Name for the selected Group Index. The Active Group Index text box is grayed out because
it is not changeable by the user, but rather the status information to reflect the current active group
index. When the current group settings are modified and applied to the unit without saving into the
system database, the Active Group Index box will show the index with a (Modified) label. The
Group Name input box can take up to 31 characters.
Section 2:
On the right side of the general configuration and tab sections, five buttons provide the operations
that the user can carry out in the M2TE:
Retrieve button – retrieves configuration parameters for the selected group index from the system
database without activating them.
Load button – loads the configuration parameters from the system database according to the
selected group index and activate them in the system regardless of the edited parameters in the tab
section.
Refresh button – retrieves the active group parameters, which could have been modified in the tab
section and applied into the system, or could be the original activated group configurations.
NOTE: If unsure of the current active parameters make sure to click on this button. If for some
reason a parameter is changed but the “Apply” button (discussed below) is not activated (clicked
on) or the changed parameter was saved with the “Save” button but not applied, the user may be
mistaken as to which parameter is currently active. Or if the M2TE unexpectedly loses power on
the next power up after full initialization the user should click on the “Refresh” button to make
sure of the current active parameters.
