2.2.2.8 Selecting a Group to Display
The scroll box below the NOMAD ISU Display Window (figure 9) selects a group to be displayed in the
window. The user can select a group, or select "NONE" to show phones which are not assigned to any
group, or select "ALL" to show all phones at the NOMAD MXU site, whether they are group members or
not.
Figure 2.2.2.8-1: Group Selection for Display
The group selection also applies to the text file report that is created by clicking on the "File" menu and
selecting Create Text File. In other words, the NOMAD ISU entries currently shown in the NOMAD ISU
Display window are the same ones that will be included in the text file when the Create Text File menu
command is used.
2.2.2.9 Add NOMAD ISU Button
Clicking the button creates the following dialog:
Figure 2.2.2.9-1: New NOMAD ISU Data Fields
This dialog accepts the Iridium phone numbers (MSISDN) and allows the creator to assign the phone to a
group for pooled time-sharing. If the phone is not a group member, select NONE. When OK is clicked,
the new entry is added to the scroll box display and assigned a unique ID Number that will be used by the
phone to access the NOMAD MXU. This ID number can be programmed into the SIMS used in the
Iridium Phones (called NOMAD ISUs, or Iridium Subscriber Units), or the ID number may be given to the
Iridium phone end-user to enter after connecting to the NOMAD MXU. The number is used by the Nomad
program to charge airtime.
