7.5.2. COMMUNICATE WITH GROUP MEMBERS
Push to Talk functions through group communication, meaning that when an audio
transmission is initiated on one device, all other devices in that group will receive the audio
message. Groups are established by Wi-Fi connection under a specific subnetwork (subnet).
All devices that are currently running Push to Talk and are connected within a certain
wireless subnet will be automatically incorporated as a group member.
A mobile computer can communicate with group members either by sending out audio
content, or by receiving it. When a member in the group initiates an audio content, all other
members turn into recipients and will automatically receive the audio content on their
mobile computer.
Note: For optimized performance, the Wi-Fi signal strength should be stronger than -60 dB.
SENDING AUDIO CONTENT
To send audio content to other devices:
1)
Have all devices you would like to communicate with connect to a specific (or several
specific) access point(s) as described in Use Wi-Fi . Make sure these access points belong
to the same subnet.
2) On all of the devices, launch Push to Talk as described in Launch Push to Talk .
Push to Talk opens in voice reception mode.
3) Tap and hold the PUSH button. The button will turn red to indicate the device is ready
for transmission. You can start talking into the receiver to transmit your message to all
other devices in the group.
“Ready” status indicates the device is in
voice reception mode
Status bars indicate Wi-Fi signal strength
