3.2 – Channel Controls
Figure 3 - SquawkBox Configuration Screen
Each of the 16 possible audio streams has its own Name, Bundle and Submap. Each stream can be from a different
Bundle/submap combination and combinations may be duplicated if required.
Name
Each audio stream that can be monitored can be given a descriptive name. The name can be up to 16 characters long and
include upper or lower case letters, numbers or punctuation marks. It appears on the SquawkBox screen when the user
selects that stream. To update a name, click on the button at the end of the names edit box (with 3 dots in it). This opens
and edit window. Type in the name and click OK or press Enter. Press cancel or simply closing the window will not update
the name and no changes are sent to the device.
Bundle
The bundle setting is the bundle number in which the desired audio stream is contained in. This should be a number from 1
through to 65279. A bundle number of 0 can be used for unused bundles and any channel configured with a bundle
number of 0 will be skipped over by the user interface. Any combination of bundle numbers can be used.
*Note:
Bundles 65280 to 65535 are private and cannot currently be used with a SquawkBox.
Submap
This is the location of the audio stream within the desired bundle. The submap is a number between 1 and 8. If the
submap ever shows no value, then the value read from the SquawkBox is either invalid or zero.
3.3 – Applying Changes
Settings are sent to a SquawkBox as they are made on the form and are acted upon as soon as they are received. However,
the values sent will not be retained by the SquawkBox unless the devices persistence setting is enabled. If persistence is not
enabled, any changes may be lost if the device is reset or powered down.
*Note:
The persistence on a SquawkBox is not instantaneous. Changes to the configuration made in Control Center are
written to the device at the time they are made but the SquawkBox itself only checks for configuration changes once every
15 seconds and consequently stores the new values if something has changed. To ensure that any modifications are stored,
at least 15 seconds must pass before turning off the SquawkBox being configured. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that the
changes will have been saved when the unit powers up.
