2.2.2.7 Define Groups
The Define Groups button brings up a dialog box that allows the administrator to create and name groups
of Iridium phones. Group member phones will share the airtime that is allotted to them. For example, if
each phone in a group account is allotted 30 minutes, and there are 5 phones in the group, than each phone
in the group can call on a pool of 150 minutes of shared time.
Figure 2.2.2.7-1: Pooled Airtime Group Fields
A group is created by typing in a name, checking the Group Enabled box and exiting the dialog by
clicking on the APPLY button
After a group is created, Iridium Subscriber Units (NOMAD ISUs) may be assigned to it when they are
configured with the Add NOMAD ISU button.
A group is deleted by clearing the Group Enabled box and clicking the APPLY button. All current
member NOMAD ISUs will be removed from the group, and will no longer share air times. Each
NOMAD ISU will show “NONE” as its group in the main display window and its airtime fields will be
zero.
A group is renamed by simply typing a new name and leaving the "Group Enabled" box checked.
To exit the dialog without applying the changes, use the "Cancel" button.
