Adding Talk Groups

Identify the Talk Groups (Channels) in Linked Capacity Plus that you want to make accessible to WAVE users. From each Talk Group, copy the Subscriber IDs (required) and Aliases (optional). Recreate the 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, the Talk Groups table 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 Linked Capacity Plus radio users. If you do not select this button, then the Talk Group can only be used by WAVE clients. This selection unlocks the Radio Interface fields (below).

4.	In the Radio Interface : Linked Capacity Plus section, make the following modifications:

A.	In Subscriber ID, enter the ID of a Group existing in the Linked Capacity Plus System.

B.	In Privacy, optionally select a privacy mode.

C.	In Privacy Key, enter the privacy key string for this Group ID in the Linked Capacity Plus System.

D.	In Site, select Wide or one of the sites you created in Setup > Sites.

5.	Click the Save button when you are done.

6.	Repeat all steps to create additional Talk Groups.

Important:

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.
