Introduction

This manual provides all the basic information you need to know to get your control
system installed, configured and on the air quickly. The control system is designed to
work "out of the box" in a standard configuration.
In most installations, all that is required is making the physical connections to power
and the radio equipment and setting a few basic configuration parameters such as call
sign and unlock code (password) and you are on the air.
The control system can be tailored to your particular needs in many ways. This manual
will give you a good overview of many of the parameters that can be changed to tailor
your system to meet your specific needs. Each port can be customized for a particular
behavior including repeaters, RF links, VOIP links, etc. Telemetry, command names,
and many other behaviors can also be customized.
Additional application notes are available on the SRS support web site that provides
detailed information on a variety of special topics.
