Example Operations Using the Z2 Controller
This section of this Installation and Operation Manual provides examples of how to perform
various operations using the Z2 Controller and what behavior to expect to see on the Z2C user
interface as a result of moving through these operations.
Reminder:
Before proceeding, it may be helpful to recall the relationships between the devices
and the systems we are discussing. In brief: disparate communications systems (radio, SIP,
PTToC, RTP, etc.) connect to audio streaming devices/gateways (RSP-Z2s, ACU-Z1s, NXU-
2Bs, etc.), which link to the Z2 Controller using virtual JPS Bridge or JPS RoIP channels. The
Z2C GUI consolidates interoperability net, dispatching, monitoring, and recording management,
and the Z2C audio engine handles all audio mixing.
6.2.1
Example System
For simplicity, let’s use the wide area system we have previously referenced in this Manual and
shown in the next image. Namely: The Z2 Controller has been configured with eight channels
that can be put into nets, dispatched to, monitored, and recorded from the Z2C’s Graphical User
Interface. What sort of communications systems those channels originate from – radio, SIP, JPS
VIA, etc. – is not required knowledge for daily operation. However, for the purposes of this
Manual, we will clarify that they are five radio systems, one SIP device, and two JPS VIA PTToC
TalkGroups. These initial audio sources are subsequently being streamed to the Z2C by means
of four RSP-Z2s using JPS Bridge channels and one NXU-2B using a JPS RoIP channel.
