Z2C Installation and Operation Manual
•
Use the versatile Dispatch feature for one- and two-way communications.
o
A Dispatcher can place any number of the resources interfaced to the Z2
Controller into an easy-to-use
Dispatch Area
for one-way listening (monitoring)
or two-way communications (dispatch).
o
It does not matter whether these resources are concurrently engaged in an
interoperability net.
•
Monitor one or more channels independent of net/Dispatch activity.
o
Multiple resources can be set up to monitor other channels.
o
Channels may be monitored by more than one Monitoring resource.
•
Record all channels within a net, or within the Dispatch area. This provides system
operators the ability to stream conversations directly to an IP recorder for non-evidentiary
recordkeeping and playback.
•
Manage users/permission, set up and verify Z2 Controller network configuration, and
configure channels easily using the browser-based GUI and its built-in help text.
1.2.1
Interoperability and Dispatch
The main purposes of the Z2C are to create interoperability nets that link multiple voice
communications systems together, and/or to Dispatch to those systems.
The following block diagram shows a small sample interoperability system that will be used to
illustrate various Z2C system functions.
