Inserting two subscribers with the same number into database

From x.14 firmware/software version it is possible to insert two the same numbers but different mode into database. One subscriber exists in database in auto mode but second in simplex only mode. It makes possible to execute broadcasting service on the KKO. In the other words: you are able to call the group with subscribers for listenning only and with the dispatcher or with the announcement as a leader. As well the same subscriber can be participant of another group with another mode. There are the rules as follow concerning such situation:

• It is possible to insert into database two subscribers with the same number but with different modes.
• The same description (identifier) for both records is required.
• Only one such subscriber can be selected (checked) on the left list.
• If you select all records in database, it is possible not everybody subscribers will be checked (common part of database with the same numbers).
• You are able to insert one subscriber with the same number into a group only.

Inserting of an announcement into database

From x.14 firmware/software version it is possible to insert an announcement into database. The announcement exists in database always in auto mode. Next, it is possible to load such announcement into the group and next call the group with the announcement automatically. There is special selection box in order to load an announcement into database. Next, the announcement exists in databse as "normal" record. The rules in such situation are as follow:

• It is not possible to insert the same announcement twice into database.
• The annnouncement exists in database in "auto" mode always.
• Only one announcement can be participant of the group.
• The name of announcement in database is created automatically. So, if you change language version of the kClient software, all records in wrong language will be rejected. There is special message box with warning in such situation.
• If you insert empty (non recorded) announcement, it will not be emmited in conference.

Now, you can edit this list (you can make use of left hand side list or a local group) and press the "Export" button. After the acknowledging procedure, the new predefined group will be sent (phisycally transmitted) to the KKO card.

From 2.05 software/firmware version it is possible to edit groups' names (for both local and predefined groups). To change the name of group you should select the group from the list, write a new name and press the Enter key at the end of inserting. At that moment the "Save" button will be active. Press it - the new group's name will be saved in the file. Local groups names are saved in the "/data/kClient.g15" file, whereas predefined groups' names are saved in the "/data/kClient.p9" file.
