General Settings

The "General" tab contains controls for configuring several simple system-wide settings:

Figure 5-8. BreadCrumb Properties - General Tab

The available settings are:

1.Name

This is a descriptive name used only for identification of the BreadCrumb device within BCAdmin. Any changes to this name are immediately reflected on the screens of other BCAdmin users.

2.Type

This allows the administrator to note the type (model) of BreadCrumb. This is for administrator convenience only and is ignored by BCAdmin.

3.Location

The Location field, if set, is displayed in the BreadCrumb box. It is not automatically updated by GPS or other means; it is rather a place for administrators to put a short description of the BreadCrumb device’s location for administrative convenience. For example, "rooftop," "commander’s vehicle," etc.
