Adding WAVE Users

Use the following instructions to add broadband users to the WAVE 3000 Server. WAVE users are considered “broadband” users. This indicates a user on a WAVE Mobile Communicator client.

To add a new broadband user

1.	Click the Users tab. The Users page opens displaying the Users list. At initial setup, this page will be empty.

2.	Click the Add New User button. The Add New User page opens.

3.	Select Broadband user.

4.	In the Alias field, enter the Alias for this user. This Alias appears on all WAVE clients when this user transmits. This alias is also used on WAVE clients to initiate Private Calls.

5.	In the Username field, specify a Username. The Username is used as a sign-in name on WAVE clients and is not used or exposed anywhere else.

Note:

Usernames must be alphanumeric and cannot contain spaces. Usernames must be unique throughout the WAVE 3000 Server.

6.	In the Password field, specify a password. The password is used in conjunction with the sign-in name on WAVE clients.

Note:

Passwords must be alphanumeric and cannot contain spaces. Passwords can be between 1 and 255 characters in length.

7.	In Private Calls to Radios, enable or disable Private Calls to Radios. This does not affect Talk Group communication between broadband and radio users. Turning Private Calls to Radios off does not block broadband to broadband Private Calls.

8.	In the Number of Simultaneous Sign-ins Allowed list, select the number of times this broadband user may sign-in simultaneously using more than one device. Note that multiple sign-ins each consume a license (CAL) on the WAVE 3000 Server when they are signed-in.

9.	Ensure the Active checkbox is selected if you want this WAVE user to be active in the system. Inactive users cannot sign in, but can still be saved and activated later.

Note:

Capacity Plus users are active by default and cannot be deactivated.

10.	In the Comments field, optionally enter comments. This field is for administrative use and text entered here does not appear elsewhere.

11.	In the Radio Interface: Capacity Plus field, optionally enter the ID used to identify this user in the radio system. IDs must be unique across all Talk Groups and Users.

Important:

Broadband users without a Subscriber ID transmit to the radio system using the ID specified in Setup > Radio System Interface > Anonymous User.

12.	Click the Save button when you are done.

Important:

Do not click Commit Changes until you have created all Talk Groups and associated them with users. The next two sections provide instructions for adding radio users and Talk Groups. All broadband users must be associated with at least one Talk Group before committing changes.

To continue setup, follow the instructions in Adding Radio Users.
