If you connect the rotary encoder to DVPi, you will see a screen like the one below after 1 second of moving.

The time displayed in'Last' is the last time the PTT was pressed in the corresponding Talk group.

4 Update of Talk group status

4.1 Automatic update of Talk group status

Talk groups are automatically updated on the Internet. By default, it is set to be updated every 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Connect to DVPi Manager as shown below and click the'Userful features' button.

The Update Interval value in the red box is the cycle to update the Talk group status.

Set it to '0' if you don't want to automatically update the Talkgroup status automatically. It may be better to set it to '0' if you have a bad internet environment.

The number '1' means 30 seconds. 

Set it to 4 if you want to refresh it every 3 minutes

Set it to 10 if you want to refresh it every 5 minutes

4.2 Manually updating the Talk group status

If it is set not to be automatically updated or you want to know the Talkgroup status immediately, click the'TG Info Get' button below.

 

5.Updating user information

If there are many users who are not displayed as a call sign as shown below, please update the'User DB'.

It is recommended to update the'User DB' at least once a month.

Click the Menu Button

Click the 'Update UserDB' Button

Check 'Update Complete' Message

Click the Reboot Button
