PTT groups
Channels
A PTT channel consists of a group of people (for example,
friends or a work team) who joined the channel after they
were invited. When you call a channel, all members joined to
the channel hear the call simultaneously.
You can join pre-configured channels. Public channels are
open to anyone who knows the URL for the channel.
When you are connected to a channel and talk, all members
joined to the channel hear you talking. Up to five channels
can be active at the same time.
Select Options > PTT contacts > Netw. grps./ channels.
To connect to a public pre-configured network group or
channel for the first time, you must first create the group or
channel. Select Options > Add existing, and enter the
required information. After the link to the group has been
created, you can attempt to join the group.
Network groups
Network groups consist of pre-configured lists of members
that are stored on the server. You can define participants by
adding them to the member list. When you want to talk to a
network group, you can select the group, and make a call to
it. The server calls each participant in the group, and the call
is ready when the first participant answers.
To make a call, select Options > PTT contacts > Netw.
grps./ channels, open the PTT groups tab, select a group,
and press the PTT key.
Create a channel group
To create a new configured network group or channel, select
Options > Create new, PTT network group, or PTT
channel.
You can create your own public channels, choose your own
channel name, and invite members. Those members can
invite more members to the public channel.
You may also set up private channels. Only users invited by
the host are allowed to join and use private channels.
For each channel, define Network group name,
Nickname, and Thumbnail (optional).
When you have successfully created a channel, you are asked
if you want to send channel invitations. Channel invitations
are text messages.
Talk to a channel or group
To talk to a channel after you log into the PTT service, press
the PTT key. A tone sounds, indicating that access is granted.
Continue to press and hold the PTT key the entire time you
are talking. When you finish talking, release the key.
If you try to respond to a channel by pressing the PTT key
while another member is talking, Wait is displayed. Release
the PTT key, wait for the other person to finish talking, and
press the PTT key again. Alternatively, press and hold the PTT
key, and wait for Talk to be displayed.
When you are talking in a channel, the first person to press
the PTT key when someone stops talking can talk next.
To view the currently active members of a channel during an
active call to the channel, select Options > Active
members.
When you have finished the PTT call, select Disconnect.
To invite new members to an active call, select the channel
when you are connected to it. Select Options > Send
invitation to open the invitation view. You can only invite
new members when you are the host of a private channel, or
when the channel is a public channel. Channel invitations are
text messages.
You can also advertise your channel, so that others may
become aware of it and then join. Select Options > Send
invitation, and enter the required information.
Respond to a channel invitation
To save a received channel invitation, select Options > Save
channel. The channel is added to your PTT contacts, channels
view.
After you save the channel invitation, you are asked if you
want to connect to the channel. Select Yes to open the PTT
sessions view. Your device logs into the service, if you are not
logged in already.
If you reject or clear the invitation, the invitation is stored in
your messaging inbox. To join the channel later, open the
invitation message, and save the invitation. Select Yes from
the dialog to connect to the channel.
