Manage¶

Manage is where you change what your WPSD device is doing right now: pause a mode, link to a reflector, add a talkgroup, send a page. Radio settings decide how the WPSD device starts; Manage changes things for now, without touching them.

The managers on the left depend on what you use: each appears once its mode or network is switched on in Radio. They’re grouped as Modes, Links, DMR talkgroups and Paging. Each shows what’s happening Now, the controls to change it, and a Recent list of what was done.

Instant Mode¶

Pause a mode and its network, and resume it, without changing Radio settings.

A paused mode stays paused through restarts and reboots until you resume it here. Its gateway stops, so its network no longer sees your WPSD device. Paused modes show as Paused on the dashboard.

Links¶

The link managers (D-Star, YSF / FCS, P25, NXDN and M17) link to a reflector, room or talkgroup, or unlink, now.

The YSF / FCS manager: Now linked to US-AMERICA-LINK, a reflector or room picker with Link and Unlink, and the recent actions

Choose a reflector from the list (type to search it), then Link; Unlink drops the link. A restart goes back to the startup choice set in Radio.

D-Star: choose the reflector and its module (the letter after it), and Reconnect: whether the WPSD device relinks by itself if the link drops, and after how long.
YSF / FCS: YSF reflectors, and FCS rooms if they’re switched on in Radio. With DG-ID routing on, the DG-IDs decide the links instead.
M17: the reflector and its module.

The D-Star manager: Now linked to REF001 C, reflector and module pickers, the Reconnect choice, and Link and Unlink buttons

DMR networks¶

Switch a DMR network, or XLX, off for now, and back on. Off here drops the network until you switch it back on or its gateway restarts; Radio settings keep it on.

DMR talkgroups: BrandMeister, TGIF and SystemX¶

Each DMR network you use has its own talkgroup manager. It shows your WPSD device’s talkgroups on that network, per timeslot (just one on a simplex hotspot), and lets you change them.

The BrandMeister manager: connected as hotspot 1230042; timeslot 1 with static talkgroup 3100 USA; timeslot 2 with talkgroup 262 Germany linked dynamically and dropping in 8:59, and static talkgroup 91 World-wide; recently heard 262 and 214; recent actions

Linked now: the dynamic talkgroup (linked because someone keyed up on it) and how long until the network drops it. Each time you key up on it, the time starts over. Drop unlinks it now.
Always linked (static): talkgroups that stay linked. Type a number or a name and choose Add; Add several at once… takes a pasted list; Remove and Remove all… take them off. On BrandMeister, a static talkgroup can be switched off without removing it, to keep it for later.
Drop current call ends the call on that timeslot.
Recently heard: talkgroups heard lately, to add with one click.

API keys¶

To change talkgroups, the manager needs your API key for that network. Choose API key and paste it.

BrandMeister: create one in BrandMeister’s SelfCare, under Profile > API Keys.
TGIF and SystemX: from your account on that network’s website.

Keys are checked with the network when you save them, and never shown again in full: only their last four characters. They’re kept on the WPSD device and stay the same for every profile.

Paging¶

With POCSAG on, Paging sends a page over the air from your WPSD device: choose a pager (or another RIC), the kind of page and the message, then Send page. Keep your pagers’ RICs under Saved pagers. With your DAPNET login added, you can also send messages Through DAPNET to pagers anywhere. See POCSAG and DAPNET.
