Initial Setup and Configuration : Adding Talk Groups
Adding Talk Groups
Identify the Talk Groups (Channels) in Capacity Plus that you want to make accessible to WAVE users. From each Capacity Plus Talk Group, copy the Subscriber IDs (required) and Aliases (optional). Recreate the Capacity Plus Groups as Talk Groups in the WAVE 3000 Server interface and then add WAVE users to those Talk Groups.
To add a new Talk Group
1.
Sign in to the WAVE 3000 Server, and then click the Talk Group tab.

The Talk Groups page opens displaying a list of existing Talk Groups. At initial setup, this page will be empty.
2.
Click the Add New Talk Group button.

The Talk Groups: Add Talk Group page opens.
3.
In the Talk Group section, make the following modifications:
A.
In the Name field, enter the name of the Talk Group as it will appear to broadband users.
B.
In the Description field, optionally enter a description. The description is for administrative purposes only and does not appear outside the WAVE 3000 Server.
C.
Select Supports Radios if this Talk Group will also include Capacity Plus radio users. This selection unlocks the Radio Interface fields (below).
4.
In the Radio Interface: Capacity Plus section, make the following modifications:
A.
In Talk Group ID, enter the ID of a Group existing in the Capacity Plus System. You cannot create Talk Groups outside the range you specified in Setup > Radio System Interface > Capacity Plus: Ranges > Talk Group ID Range.
B.
In Privacy, optionally select a privacy mode. If a Privacy mode is selected, then you must enter a value in Basic Privacy Key.
C.
In Privacy Key, enter the privacy key string for this Group ID in the Capacity Plus System.
5.
Click the Save button when you are done.
6.
Repeat all steps to create additional Talk Groups.

Do not click Commit Changes until you have created all Talk Groups and associated them with WAVE users. The next two sections provide instructions for associating WAVE users with Talk Groups and Contacts.
To continue setup, follow the instructions in Associating WAVE Broadband Users and Talk Groups.
