Group Icons - MP-1000 Administration Tool
The Icons for
Play, Stop, Msg, Msg Off, RSS, Volume, Video and Options
are all Icons which send
commands
to a group of MP-1000 clients
. It is important to highlight the correct group before clicking an Icon.
When activated the same command goes to all clients in the selected group, one by one.
Account Icon
: This allows creation of groups and MP-1000 Client user names for group management.
Group Icons:
Play
: Sends a ‘Playback’ command manually to a group of MP-1000 clients.
Stop
: Sends ‘Stop’ command manually to a group of MP-1000 clients.
Message
: An instant message editor window will pop up. You can select any .txt file or manually type in

given text from right to left at the bottom of the MP-1000 client screen until it is removed by a reboot or
other command.
