Workcloud Communication PTT Pro for Android User Guide

PTT Button Configuration

PTT Lite does not provide an on-screen Push To Talk button. Users can use the Bluetooth PTT button or configure a button on the device to function as a Push To Talk.

The Zebra WS50 Android Computer provides two configurations:

The Wrist Mount configuration includes four buttons and the top left button is automatically configured as the PTT button.

The Converged Scanner configuration is worn on the operator's finger and includes a left button. The left button can be programmed to function as a PTT button.

An administrator can use StageNow to create a configuration that maps the left button of the Converged Scanner to a PTT button. For example:

<wap-provisioningdoc>
  <characteristic version="9.2" type="KeyMappingMgr">
    <parm name="Action" value="1" />
    <characteristic type="KeyMapping">
      <parm name="KeyIdentifier" value="LEFT" />
      <characteristic type="BaseTable">
        <parm name="BaseBehavior" value="2" />
        <parm name="BaseKeyCode" value="104" />
      </characteristic>
    </characteristic>
  </characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>

The administrator can also use StageNow to create a barcode that can be scanned by the WS50 Converged Scanner to configure the PTT button.
