Adding Users and Groups to the XRT 9000/9100

After connecting all cables and configuring the system, you must add all users and Talk Groups (Groups in Connect Plus). This includes WAVE users as well as radio users. Take note of the ID and Alias you use for each user. You will need to enter them into the WAVE 3000 Server system later. For instructions on using Groups and Multigroups, consult the Connect Plus documentation.

Connect to the XRT using the MOTOTRBO Connect Plus XRT Configuration Tool as described in Accessing the XRT 9000/9100 Gateway

To Configure Pool IDs

1.	In the Settings menu, click Configuration.

2.

Define which numbers will be used as Pool IDs in the Pool ID field (Settings > Configuration). The total number of IDs in the pool must be at least equal to the number of registered Group and Multigroup talk paths. Do not use IDs that have already been assigned to a Connect Plus radio, that have been assigned as a Private Talk Path ID, that have been assigned as a Data Path ID, or that have been configured as Pool IDs at any other XRT site in the same network. Using numbers in the sixteen million range for Pool IDs (e.g. 16,000,001 – 16,000,100) usually avoids conflicts with Connect Plus radios. To be certain, check the user database prior to defining the Pool ID range or creating user records for Pool IDs.

In the following example the Pool ID range is 16000301-16000325 due to other XRTs using the default range.

3.	In the next procedure, you will create a User for each Pool ID in the range.

To add users to the XRT

1.	In the Settings menu, click Users. The Users list opens.

2.	In the Users menu, click New. A blank User page appears in the right frame.

3.	In the User Detail section, enter the Radio ID and Alias of the new user.

Important:

You will need to know this information for WAVE 3000 Server. Also, be aware that there is no default indicator of which users are WAVE users and which users are Connect Plus. You must know the types of users to configure the WAVE 3000 Server. The typical organization method relies on a documented convention of specific Radio IDs. For example, Radio IDs 1-100 may be WAVE users by convention. WAVE 3000 Server and Connect Plus administrators are responsible for keeping this information documented.

4.	In the Call Privileges tab, select all the call privileges for this user. In general, for WAVE users, select all options except the Packet Data Call Option.

5.	Click the Save User button.

6.	Repeat steps 1 - 5 until all WAVE broadband users are added. Note all radio IDs. You will need to enter them in the WAVE 3000 Server when you create WAVE users.

7.

Repeat steps 1 - 5 until all Pool IDs are added as users. You must create a user record for each ID that was defined in the Pool ID field. User records for Pool IDs are typically configured in the XRT and then automatically propagated network wide. Do not use IDs that have already been assigned to a Connect Plus radio, that have been assigned as a Private Talk Path ID, or that have been configured as Pool IDs at any other XRT site in the same network.

To add Groups to the XRT

1.	On the Group menu, click New. A blank Group page appears in the right frame.

2.

In the Group ID field, enter the ID for this Group. In the WAVE 3000 Server, this number is represented by a Talk Group ID. Group IDs and Talk Group IDs must have identical entries in the WAVE 3000 Server for Connect Plus and WAVE users to communicate over this Group. Connect Plus “Groups” are synonymous with Talk Groups. This is the ‘Channel’ used for communication.

3.	In the Alias field, enter an Alias for this Group. In the WAVE 3000 Server, the Alias is represented by a Talk Group Name.

4.	Click the Save Group button.

5.	Repeat steps 1 - 4 for all required Groups.

Note:

In the WAVE 3000 Server, “Groups” are referred to as “Talk Groups.”
