Early versions of the Rangecast software had each sender on a PC operate entirely independently of the others (no configuration page to view settings for all senders in one place) with settings for each sender stored in a separate INI file generated by that sender's "Setup" page. This feature is still used in the rare case of VOX senders, but in all other cases is deprecated. Automatic settings have been developed that eliminate the need for customization in most situations, and when necessary any customization should be done in the "Special Settings" box of the configuration screen, where the settings are more visible (and it's possible to ensure all senders are set as desired.) This process describes how to remove the INI file, and transfer any manual settings that you want to preserve to the "Special Settings" parameter.
Launch Rangecast and press Configuration. The software will search for attached hardware (this takes about 35 seconds), and when finished, the text "Port tests complete" will show in the upper-left.
Note: To start this process, you must either:
(a) have completed the Test process described above to determine which sender(s) require this maintenance, or
(b) know the Rangecast ID of sender(s) which you wish to modify in this manner.
