8. Testing One-Net Encoding and Decoding 

A good way to test the One-Net is to have a second sound card installed and run an audio 
cable between the output of the second audio card into the input of the first card.  Make sure 
the origination audio out is set to play over the auxiliary audio output and that one decoder is 
operational on the Main audio input (use 

Setup > Audio > Decoder

).  Turn off forwarding 

audio toggles. Then run the Encoder and send the alert.  The One-Net will both send and 
decode the alert. 

9. Server 

The Server pages present all kinds of system status and helpful information. 

 

There are three choices on the Server tab:
