9 Profiles

9.1 Introduction to Profiles

Profiles are a means to change a large number of configuration parameters for

the device in a single step. Most of the user visible configuration parameters are

set on a per-profile basis; when one switches profiles, one can change many

configuration parameters at once. The rationale for profiles is there could be

differences in configuration for various departments, jobs, or roles (lumber,

cashier, plumbing, manager, etc) and so when a particular user selects a device,

they select the proper profile for their job, role, or department.

Profiles can be used to implement something as simple as a WTT channel

switching mechanism similar to the “channel” knob on a conventional walkie

talkie.

Alternatively profiles can be used to replace the English language prompts with

those in other languages. A given device could support prompts in up to 8

different languages.

There are 8 possible profiles with profile 0 being the default one. Users may

switch between profiles (if the profile switching is enabled). One of the profiles is

the default profile (normally profile 0 but any profile can be the default) and it will

be loaded upon startup. If profile switching is not enabled, then the default profile

will always be used. The default profile is set via a configuration parameter. The

device will switch to the default profile at startup time and whenever it is placed

into the charging cradle.

If profile switching is enabled, there are several ways of rotating through profiles.

The first approach involves pressing a button to enter profile switching mode and

then pressing the button repeatedly to rotate through enabled profiles. The

device will say the audio prompt associated with the profile. The desired profile is

then selected via a second button sequence. If the user does not select a profile

after a period of time, the device will timeout and continue using the current

profile. Typically in this mode, profile switching is entered by a single click of the

SAPP with additional clicks of the SAPP used to move among the various

profiles. A single click of the FAPP is typically used to “select” the current profile,

if such a mode is enabled.

The second approach also involves pressing the SAPP button to enter the profile

selection process and then repeatedly pressing that button to rotate through

profiles, hearing the name of each profile in the process. In this approach, the

device will adopt whatever the profile that was last “heard” by the user. For this

mode “timeout” equals profile selection.

Which mode is used to select new profiles is defined on a per profile basis.
