KEYS AND MACROS

268 ENVOY™ TRANSCEIVER REFERENCE MANUAL
Macros
If you want to simplify some of the tasks you perform with the transceiver you can
create hot keys on the control point to perform the tasks for you. Each task is stored
in a macro as a series of steps, and the macro is assigned to a hot key. Performing the
tasks is then as simple as pressing or holding the hot key. Each macro may have up to
32 steps.
The transceiver is supplied with a set of standard hot keys. These functions are
labelled on the corresponding hot key in BLUE text. The descriptions of these
standard hot keys are included in Table 9. The hot keys to which these macros are
assigned cannot be moved at user level. The user can create a macro and assign it to a
hot key when in advanced view.
A macro can be assigned to the alphanumeric or keys. When the user interface is in
character-entry mode, macros assigned to an alphanumeric key cannot be used, as the
key is used to enter characters. If you want to be able to use a macro at any time, you
should assign the macro to the key, or a function key on the desk console.
