Clicking on the Summary button of this view simplifies the view into a summary of the Radio Packs' settings. To view more details, you'll need to view the individual Device View (outlined in the next section).
Radio Pack List View "Summary"
Device View
Double-click on a Radio Pack in the Device Management list view to access its device view and view/edit its settings. You must be in “live” mode to edit RP settings. In this view, clicking each sub-heading expands or collapses the panels containing more information and configurable settings. The top section of the detail view provides an overview of the selected Radio Pack, including buttons to interact with other CrewWare functions.

User Level Device Settings
Select the Radio Pack device settings and view a read-only list of device information (Mode, Firmware Version, Current RT, Model, Serial Number, and Device ID).This panel also includes a graphical representation of the real-time RP LCD. (When in “live” mode, you can click the RP’s triangle menu button and view the secondary screen, just like with a real RP.)
Tip: Changing user-level settings here does not make an identical change to the Profile. When user-level settings on the device do not match those on its assigned Profile, CrewWare displays a yellow circle indicator in this view beside that setting to alert the user that it differs from the RP’s profile. The user may restore the Profile’s default for that setting by clicking on the green indicator.
When changing a setting while using High Density Mode, at least one return data path must be open (one of the four talk slots on a HiDen RT) for CrewWare to confirm that the change has been made on a Radio Pack. CrewWare displays a yellow indicator box around the changed setting and an exclamation point to the right of the setting to alert the user that the confirmation of change is pending. Once a talk slot is open, CrewWare will confirm that the setting has been changed on the Radio Pack and the indicator will go away.
