ICON DESCRIPTION

6.9 DWELL DISPLAY
When not engaged in menu selection, the first two lines of the display default to the user-defined display,
known as the “dwell display.” The top line indicates the currently selected talk group. The second line
will display the currently selected profile, caller ID/alias
1
, received talk group, and current channel name.
V-TAC mode or V-TAC channel can be displayed as well on V-TAC installations. Press up or down with
the
ramp control to scroll through and view one of these second line options.
6.10 PERSONALITY
As illustrated in Figure 6-3, a personality defines the profiles and talk groups available to the user. It is
the structuring of a collection of profiles and privileges established by the OpenSky network administrator
to provide the user with a comprehensive set of profiles to communicate effectively with the necessary
talk groups or individuals.
Personalities are stored on the network and downloaded over-the-air to the radio. This process is called
“provisioning.” Provisioning occurs at radio power-up and at user log-in. Each personality can contain up
to sixteen (16) profiles and each profile can contain up to sixteen talk groups.
6.10.1 Profiles
As stated above, each profile can contain up to sixteen (16) talk groups. A profile also defines the radio’s
emergency behavior. All transmissions are made on the selected talk group (displayed on the top line of
the dwell display). The user can change the selected talk group to any of the other talk groups within the
profile.
1 Alias is a logical ID name such as “J_Smith.” The name corresponds to a user ID such as 003-542-0001.
