3.1 Before you begin
3.1.1 About GoBox Configuration Files
The GoBox Configuration file is stored within the GoBox but you should develop a process to centrally backup and manage
this configuration file.
For users that maintain several GoBox’s, the configuration file can be shared and it is recommended that a single file be
used to simplify GoBox administration.
3.1.2 About Operational Profiles
To use your GoBox you need to program at least one operational profile which can then be assigned to a duplexer for auto
selection on power-up.
Up to 50 operational profiles can be pre-loaded into the GoBox. Each operational profile contains all information
necessary to configure the GoBox.
Profiles can then be selected and activated by pressing and turning the rotary dial on the GoBox control interface to select
and activate that profile.
3.1.3 About Duplexer Group Tags
A unique duplexer tag can be programmed into a duplexer and then tagged to an operational profile to essentially link the
operational profile with the duplexer.
The GoBox will only display operational profiles whose duplexer group tag field has been set to the same tag group as what
is programmed in the duplexer.
Additionally, an operational profile can be assigned as the default operational profile for when a Duplexer is installed and
therefore when the GoBox powers up. This feature allows Duplexers to be easily moved around GoBox’s in the same band
and providing the configuration files are identical, the GoBox will automatically select the correct operational profile
without requiring any user intervention.
If your GoBox is ever damaged or you purchase additional units, your configuration file can be easily used to
reprogram a new GoBox within minutes.
!
Make sure you press and hold the rotary dial down when turning to select a new profile.
!
Operational profiles can also be backed up and restored over the network allowing easy transfer of profiles from
one GoBox to another
!
To setup multiple GoBox’s, we recommend using the following process on a single GoBox:
1.
Write a Duplexer tag to each Duplexer
2.
Add Duplexer Group Tags
3.
Add Operational Profiles
4.
Set the start-up profile for each Duplexer
5.
Backup the configuration
6.
Restore the configuration to the other GoBox’s
!
If an operational profile uses the
All
tag, the profile will always be visible in the GoBox control panel via the rotary
dial however its frequency may not be supported by the currently installed Duplexer
!
