Testing Radio and WAVE Communication

This section describes how to test radio and WAVE Mobile Communicator communication to ensure the system is working correctly.

Important:

All WAVE 3000 Server units ship with zero (0) licenses. In order to test a WAVE 3000 Server, you must first add licenses and distribute CALs. WAVE Mobile Communicator connection, and radio communication, require valid WAVE 3000 Server licenses.

Initial WAVE Mobile Communicator Sign-In

When WAVE users initially sign-in, they must enter their Username, Password, and the IP address specified in Setup > WAVE Mobile Communicator > WAVE Client Connects > Connection Address. After the WAVE client successfully connects, check the following attributes of the client:

All Talk Groups assigned to the user should appear in the Channels tab.

All Contacts assigned to the user should appear in the Directory tab.

Radio to WAVE Mobile Communicator Testing

Set a Capacity Plus radio dial to a Talk Group that exists in the WAVE 3000 Server and on the Linked Capacity Plus Radio System. Sign into the WAVE Mobile Communicator with a broadband user who is part of the same Talk Group. Transmit over the radio. The WAVE client should indicate the transmission on the Channels tab, and the audio from the radio should be heard from the WAVE client.

WAVE Mobile Communicator to Radio User Testing

After following the steps for testing radio to broadband and while still on the selected Talk Group, press the Mobile Push to Talk button at the bottom of the screen and make a transmission. Audio from the WAVE Mobile Communicator client should come over the radio clearly.

To continue setup, follow the instructions in Testing Private Calls.
