WAITING ROOM

People asking to join. Admit puts them straight into comms; deny sends them back to the join screen.

No one is waiting.

OPERATOR NOTICE

One line that sits at the top of every crew screen (full and Simple Mode) until you clear it. Crew can dismiss it on their own phone; a new notice shows again.

COMMS PANEL

Select channels — PTT talks to all selected at once

Channel names: Click to cycle: letters → numbers → names.

Active channels:

SELECT CHANNEL

COMMS CHAT

ALL shows every incoming message. Switch to CHANNEL or DIRECT to filter.

NETWORK READINESS

Can crew devices reach this box on the current network? Checks for guest-Wi-Fi isolation, captive portals, internet, and a stale named URL.

NOISE REDUCTION

Global noise gate + suppression on all comms — silences background/dead-air noise

NOISE REDUCTION ON

VOICE-OPTIMIZED ENCODING OFF

GLITCH GUARD ON OUTPUT CEILING

Audio safety (v1.44.0): the ceiling is a hard clip on every crew device's receive mix — nothing above it reaches an ear. The glitch guard detects a stuck or looping signal, mutes it within half a second, rebuilds the audio path and logs rx_glitch in Diagnostics (media).

Voice-optimized encoding halves audio bandwidth (~28 vs ~58 kbps per stream) — tuned for radio-style voice. Applies to each user's next transmission.

CHANNELS

APPEARANCE

The look every crew phone, desktop and this console wear. Switching is live: screens restyle in about a second and nobody re-joins. The original A-Comm look is always one click away and never needs a licence.

CREW ACCOUNTS

Named users who sign in with a username and password and land in the role and channels you set — on any device, every time. Walk-up crew with the access code are unaffected.

ACCOUNTS MAY SKIP THE ACCESS CODE

IMPORT FROM CSV

Columns: username, callsign, role, channels, password, simple_lock. Blank role = crew · blank channels = the role's default · blank password = a temporary one, shown once after import. Admin accounts are added one at a time above. Nothing is written until you press IMPORT.

CHOOSE CSV

WHAT'S NEW

The same notes testers get in their Settings → What's new, plus the admin lines. Full list: /release-notes.

USER ROLES

Define what each role can do — the live version of the role matrix. Assign a user to a role in the user list. Switch view = the user gets a Simple Mode switch in their own Settings (big talk + latch, one channel). To force Simple Mode on someone, use SIMPLE LOCK in Connected Users or the Simple column in Crew Accounts — a lock always wins.

NEW USERS JOIN AS Walk-ups (QR, link, access code) join as this role. Give regulars a Crew Account for anything higher.

DIAGNOSTICS

Alerts view — warnings, errors, security, and known-issue hits. Expand for the full stream.
