Note: Channels are set to 'Talk and Forced Listen' by default. See 6.3.1 Key
behavior for more information.
10.1.2 Groups
Audio can also be configured into Groups. Groups are programed in a similar
way to Channels; simply assign the audio sources to the Group (Group
Members) and then program a key to talk to the Group. Ports, the Base
headset, and beltpacks can all become Group members. Once a Group
member, you can hear announcements to the Group, and reply using the
Reply key.
Note: You can see all members of a Group at a glance in the Assignments page of
the CCM. Navigate to Assignments and click/touch the Group tab. Beltpacks
will not be visible in the Group until they are online.
10.1.3 Channels or Groups?
Both Channels and Groups are essentially digital containers for digital audio
sources, allowing communication between members.
Channel
A Channel operates as an intercom Partyline or conference. All members can
talk to and listen to all other members, as long as they have keys to do so.
