Group Devices to Form Audio Channels

Use the group configuration to form the audio channel between the microphone, the access point (APT), charger and audio
output device. The audio channel establishes the audio routing, RF coordination, and data control for a set of devices. Groups
are comprised of networked devices (set to the same subnet). A component can belong to one group at a time.
