Independent Passthrough
This configuration provides two separate IP-to-IP or Analog-to-IP converters. For each, active
COR on the local side will send incoming audio out the IP backhaul interface, and vice-versa.
Active COR occurs when the channel determines that “Valid” audio input has been detected.
Available COR types (methods of determining valid audio) vary by channel type.
Note that four separate channels are depicted for this configuration – two local audio channels
each tied to its own IP backhaul channel. A USB Headset can also be included and connected to
any communications channel.
Cross-Connected
This configuration patches the two local interfaces together, with no IP backhaul. When one of
the two channels detects a valid audio input, the other will transmit this audio.
Whenever any user from either system transmits on the designated channel/talkgroup, all other
users on both channels can hear. Because donor radios are used to interface the system,
identically to all other radios in each system, the RSP-Z2 installation has minimal impact.
Cross-Connected with Backhaul
This is a combination of the Independent Passthrough and the Cross-Connected configurations.
Only a single backhaul interface is needed, because it is interfaced to the combined (cross-
connected) audio of the two local channels.

Channel Types and Channel Profiles
The RSP-Z2 provides significant assistance in configuring any of the variety of channel types
available to interface audio devices. Each channel type has a default profile and context-sensitive
help in the GUI provides additional assistance in tuning channels to meet your needs. Once a
channel has been tuned to your preferences, save the settings as a new, custom profile to make it
easy to apply to another channel.
Local Channel Type options include:
•
Radio (also appropriate for other types of four-wire devices).
•
RoIP (JPS-proprietary Radio over IP), RTP, and SIP (BSI compliant).
•
USB Headset.
•
Various Push-to-Talk over Cellular channels.
Backhaul Channel Type options include:
•
Bridge (used to interface to other JPS Z-Series devices, e.g. ACU-Z1, Z2 Controller).
•
RoIP, RTP, and SIP.
•
Various Push-to-Talk over Cellular channels.
