5.2.4 System Rules
CAUTION
Do not make any configuration changes to
your PTX-PRO while the PTX-PRO is
connected to a radio system that is actively
transmitting.
Attempts to program configuration changes
into a PTX-PRO when the radio system is
actively transmitting will interrupt broadcast
operations.
When configuring your PTX-PRO on-line (connected to a PC), the
following system rules must be followed.
• When the PTX-PRO is properly connected to your PC and
the system is powered up, the Configurator software will
automatically detect your PTX-PRO, your hardware
configuration, and the licensed options contained in your
PTX-PRO.
• The PTX-PRO must be powered up prior to initializing the
Configurator software.
• The configuration settings can be saved to the PTX-PRO or
can be saved to a file and can be recalled at a later date.
• Configuration settings may be loaded into the Configurator
from your PTX-PRO, may be modified, and may be loaded
into your PTX-PRO and/or saved to a file in the on-line
mode.
• The PTX-PRO must not be placed in the transmit mode
when utilizing the Configurator software.
• Channel plans may be created in the on-line mode or in the
offline mode. Channel plans created in the offline mode
can be saved to a file on your PC and can be recalled at a
later date.
• Channel plans may be loaded into the Configurator from
your PTX-PRO, may be modified, and may be loaded into
your PTX-PRO and/or saved to a file in the on-line mode.
• PTX-PRO configurations and channel plans may be
created or modified from a file on your PC in the on-line
mode.
• When selecting options in the on-line mode, if the option
is a licensed option that is not contained in your radio, the
option may not be displayed, e.g., if you do not have the
LMS-T licensed option in your radio, the LMS-T tab will
not be present on the Configurator.
• In certain instances, licensed options may be displayed
on a Configurator page, but if your radio does not contain
the licensed option, the option will be inactive, you cannot
select the option, and you cannot load the option into your
radio.
The procedures required to create or update configurations and/
or channel plans are provided in the following sections.
5.2.5 Configurations
New configurations can created from scratch, updated from
existing files on your PC, or may be loaded in from a PTX-PRO
and modified. Once a configuration is created or modified and
saved, you can load the configuration into your PTX-PRO. The
steps required to load configuration changes are provided in the
applicable procedures.
Once a configuration is created or modified, it should be saved to
a file on your PC. The steps required to save configuration
settings are provided in the applicable procedures provided in
this Chapter.
