Getting started with the Bell Corporate Administrator Tool

The Push to Talk (PTT) service provides instant communication to individuals and talkgroups at the push of a button. The Corporate Administration Tool (CAT) helps in managing a corporate user’s contacts and talkgroups.

The tool allows you to:

• View and edit PTT user profiles.
• Manage Talkgroups, including scanning, supervisory override and permissions.
• Manage users external to the corporation, as well as those using the Radio/PTT Interoperability service.

1. Log into Bell Corporate Self Serve.
2. Click Manage.
3. From the flyout menu, under Plan & features, click PTT (Corp. Admin Tool).
