The Select Template Window

(Radio Management - Radio View)

The Select Template window allows you to select a template for the selected radio(s). See also: Manage Templates.

The majority of a radio’s codeplug feature-values are contained within a Radio Management template; templates can be applicable to multiple radios, which is why template-based programming is very efficient. The more generic codeplug feature-values (less radio-specific) are contained within Radio Management templates. Template codeplug values are modified from the main CPS user-interface (see Manage Templates). Template codeplug values have a view-only status in the Radio Management Client's (RMC) many views. Non-template radio-specific codeplug values such as Radio IDs and IP Addresses are maintained on a per codeplug basis in the RMC's three edit-capable views.

From the Radio Management Client's Radio View, highlight the appropriate radio-codeplug record / row (multiple radio record / rows may be selected by holding down the CTRL key); then from the Actions Button choose "Select Template".

Alternately, you can right-click directly on the highlighted record / row(s), and from the popup menu choose "Select Template".

In this window, select the appropriate template, then click the OK button. Only templates with compatible FLASHcodes and Model Numbers are shown as available selections (see also CPS FLASHcode); "compatible FLASHcodes" refers to the target radio(s) that is selecting the new (source) template having a FLASHcode that is equal-to or greater-than the FLASHcode of the source template. “Greater-than” refers to the source template’s "In Use“” FLASHcode Feature Set being a sub-set of the target radio’s “Purchased” FLASHcode Feature Set.

The selected template is then applied to the selected radio(s).

INCLUDED FIELDS:	DEFINITIONS:
Template	Allows you to view-only the name of each template. Templates can be Renamed, see Manage Templates.
Model Number	Allows you to view-only the radio model number of each template. Templates can only be shared by radios with the same model number.
Template Firmware Version	Allows you to view-only the firmware version for each template. Because firmware information is stored in the radio, when the CPS reads a codeplug file (not from a radio), "N/A" (not applicable) appears in this field. Because a Radio Management template can apply to multiple radios (see Manage Templates), the template used for a "Write" job may not have been originally read from the current radio, therefore this Template Firmware Version may vary from this radio's actual Firmware Version at the time of the job.
Template Codeplug Version	Allows you to view-only the version number of each template / codeplug. Because a Radio Management template can apply to multiple radios (see Manage Templates), the template used for a "Write" job may not have been originally read from the current radio, therefore this Template Codeplug Version may vary from this radio's actual Codeplug Version at the time of the job.
Creation Date	Allows you to view-only the date and time that each template is created. Whenever a template is edited and saved in the main CPS interface, a new version of the template is created.
In Use (Radios)	Allows you to view-only how many managed radios are using each template.
