TB8100 Service Kit User’s Manual Using Advanced Profile Features 103Using Advanced Profile FeaturesThere are two different ways to configure channels. The basic way uses defaultprofiles and the advanced way uses custom profiles. The advanced way requiresan Advanced Profiles and Task Manager license.The basic way defines most settings in the profiles. The rest are defined in thechannel table. You select values for each channel.The advanced way defines nearly all the settings in custom profiles. The channeltable only defines the transmit and receive frequencies for each channel. Thechannel table still displays the same items, but their settings are determined bythe profiles assigned to the channels. The advanced way is more flexible andpowerful. In the following situations, you must use custom profiles:Q The base station needs to respond to more than one subtone. In otherwords, one channel must be able to decode/encode several differentsubtones.Q Different parts of the audio path need to use different filters.Q Channel or signalling profile settings need to be different for differentchannels. In other words, the settings that you specify for the default profilescannot be used for all channels.Q The receive and the transmit frequencies need to have a different channelspacing.Q You want to use Task Manager to change a profile setting. This is done bygetting Task Manager to switch the base station to a channel with a differentcustom profile.Many users combine both ways to configure channels. They use default profilesfor most channels but create a set of their own profiles for channels withadvanced configuration requirements.
