Profiles
Profiles are groups of configuration settings. They simplify the task of
configuring channels. The base station has a large number of configuration
settings, but most of these will be the same for all channels. Instead of
configuring all options many times over for each channel, you configure them
once in a profile. You then assign the profile to the appropriate channels (if you
are working with the default profile, this is already done for you).
Two profiles group almost all configuration settings: the channel profile (which
defines the signal path for example) and the signalling profile (which defines the
subaudible signalling and tail timers).
The way you work with profiles varies, depending on whether the base station
has an Advanced Profiles and Task Manager license.
Using Default
Profiles
The standard base station can only use the default profiles. You define most
configuration settings globally in the two default profiles, and then you define
the rest individually for each channel in the
channel table .
Using Custom
Profiles
If the base station has the Advanced Profiles and Task Manager license,
additional options are available and you can create a set of custom profiles. To
configure an individual channel, you assign custom profiles to it. The only items
you configure in the channel table are the transmit and receive frequencies.
