■ Create and set up channels
When you call a channel, all members joined to the channel hear the call
simultaneously.
Each member in the channel is identified by a nickname, which is shown
as a caller identification. Channel members can choose a nickname for
themselves in each channel.
Channels are registered with a URL address. One user registers the
channel URL in the network by joining the channel session the first time.
There are three types of PTT channels:
• Provisioned channels are closed channels that allow only selected
participants provisioned by the service provider to join.
• Ad hoc channels are channels that the users can create. You can
create your own channel, and invite members to the channel.
• Ad hoc pro channels are channels you can create from members in a
provisioned channel. For example, a business can have a closed
channel and separate channels created for certain business
functions.
