Before continuing to the next section, make sure you can access or have made a note of the Z2C’s
IP address (found in the
Network
tab), and the JPS RoIP channel’s port number that was assigned
(or that you chose) in the
Expansion Bridge
table on the Z2C. Then continue to the next section.
5.1.5.2
JPS RoIP Channel Configuration on the Remote Resource
Once the JPS RoIP streaming channel has been added and configured on the Z2C, it is necessary
to configure the remote resource – in this case, the NXU‑2B connected to the UHF 451 radio
system – to stream to the Z2C. Use the Z2C’s IP address and the Port assigned (or that you chose)
listed in the
Expansion Bridge
table on the
Bridges
tab.
Note
: If encryption is available on the remote resource you are connecting, it must be enabled,
have the same
Type
of encryption (HC‑128 or AES‑256), and the
Audio Encryption String
must
match what is configured for the channel in the Z2C. Encryption may not be available on all
types of remote units, or it may be limited to one encryption type. Verify that both ends of the
encryption settings for the connection (Z2C and the remote unit) match. If there is a mismatch,
audio will be unintelligible.
Depending on how you are using your units/resources, additional configuration – including
channel configuration on the Z2C – may be required to meet your specific needs. Refer to the
appropriate manuals for help.
5.1.5.3
JPS RoIP Channel Connection
In most cases, no additional action is required by you and your system will connect automatically.
When the link is active, a green light will display on the remote resource’s channel icon on the
Z2C.
Note that regardless of the JPS product you are linking to the Z2C using a JPS RoIP streaming
channel, the basic setup outlined here is the same. Refer to the manual of the device you are
connecting if you are unsure of how to stream audio from it.

Licensed Enhancements
5.2.1
Encryption
Encryption is an optional feature available by license for JPS RoIP and JPS Bridge streaming
channels on select JPS devices, such as this Z2C. Two encryption versions are available for
license.
HC‑128
is a symmetric stream cipher with verified efficiency and security. It is
recommended for applications that require basic data security.
AES‑256
is a symmetric block
cipher that is the current data encryption standard for the U.S. Federal Government. It is
practically unbreakable but requires more processing power than HC‑128. It is recommended for
applications with stringent security requirements.
