6 Part A: Introduction MB8100-00-00-806 © TEL 2003ProfilesProfiles are groups of configuration settings. They simplify the task ofconfiguring channels. The base station has a large number of configurationsettings, but most of these will be the same for all channels. Instead ofconfiguring all options many times over for each channel, you configure themonce in a profile. You then assign the profile to the appropriate channels (if youare working with the default profile, this is already done for you).Two profiles group almost all configuration settings: the channel profile (whichdefines the signal path for example) and the signalling profile (which defines thesubaudible signalling and tail timers).The way you work with profiles varies, depending on whether the base stationhas an Advanced Profiles and Task Manager license.Using DefaultProfilesThe standard base station can only use the default profiles. You define mostconfiguration settings globally in the two default profiles, and then you definethe rest individually for each channel in the channel table.Using CustomProfilesIf the base station has the Advanced Profiles and Task Manager license,additional options are available and you can create a set of custom profiles. Toconfigure an individual channel, you assign custom profiles to it. The only itemsyou configure in the channel table are the transmit and receive frequencies.
