Set up mass device endpoint (targets)

To create a speaker pole, zone, or an all-poles user, an operator should perform the normal Mass Device Endpoint creation flow. User should give the endpoint a functionally descriptive name, so that it is recognizable in End User Manager and Report windows as a mass-communication device target entity.
The list of RTUs in the Giant Voice system in the PC run the CompuLert™ software. The file that contains the list of RTUs in the
C:\WINAPPS\ASC2\Data
folder is a .sir file, which can be opened using Notepad.
The American Signal Giant Voice poles are targeted using a three hexadecimal character string. One or more of the characters can be replaced with a * to represent a wild card in that position which selects all addresses which share the same remaining characters. This method of grouping poles into zones is performed by addressing the poles so that wild cards can be used in a group or zone address.
Examples
  • The address A01 targets only the pole with the address A01.
  • The address *01 targets all addresses that end in 01. For example, A01 and B01.
  • The address A** targets all addresses that start with A. For example, A01, A02, and A10.
  • The address *** targets all poles.
