Group Call (TMO)
2.1

Terminal Ergonomic Features

2.1.1

Group Mode

Before a terminal is able to send and receive Group Calls it will automatically switch to the group
mode of operation when dialing for call setup and alert the user to the incoming group call.
Group Calls are only cleared down by the call originator or if the call timer expires.
Benefits:
Instant access – push PTT and talk, release to listen
"No fuss" easy & fast to use
2.1.2

Programmable Talkgroups

The terminal is capable of storing 2048 Talkgroup numbers (GSSI - Group Short Subscriber Identity)
in 128 ranges or lists. In Group Mode a single range is always active, offering the user up to 16
Talkgroups. Talkgroups may be repeated in different ranges. Both the Ranges and Talkgroups can
have names/aliases to ease recognition for selection when being scrolled by the user.
Benefits:
Whatever the application and size of the system enough talk groups are available
2.1.3

Talkgroup Ranges

It is possible to provision the terminal to organize the talkgroups into '"ranges". A talkgroup can then
be chosen by first choosing a range and then a talkgroup within the range. Up to 128 ranges can be
provisioned, with up to 16 talkgroups in each range.
Benefits:
Allows ease of use -arrangement of important talk groups - otherwise up to 2048 Talkgroups
must be scrolled through.
Logical arrangement for splitting up into departments or functional teams provides an easier
overview
Note: Via a CPS, a flag can be set to automatically scroll range1 to range2 ... or cycle existing range
only. The range definitions cannot be altered by the terminal user via the MMI.
Note: A new feature enables talkgroup search via keypad digit entry.
2.1.4

My Favourite Groups

This user friendly feature enables a user to create a 'Personal Range' of own talkgroups from pre-
programmed talk groups within the terminal and is saved in the terminal during power down.
It is a shared feature for both TMO & DMO operating modes and has a capacity of 128 talkgroups
for the MTM800.
2.1.5

Talkgroup Selection

Selection of a Talkgroup is done via up/down navigation buttons
2.1.6

Receive-only Talkgroups

It is possible to provision a group to be receive-only. The group can be selected, but the terminal will
not allow the user to initiate a call to this group.
