communications devices. Include ACU-1000/2000/M/T/5000/Z1.

ARA-1TM

JPS device that provides a SIP interface to an individual radio or other four-wire device.

BSI

Bridging Systems Interface. A specification jointly developed by government and industry to

provide a standard interface for radio interoperability systems. The BSI is based on SIP and RTP

and allows bridging of radio nets between disparate interoperability systems.

COR

Carrier Operated Relay. A receiver signal that gives a positive indication a carrier or signal isbeing

received and the receiver is unsquelched. Same as COS.

COS

Carrier Operated Squelch. See COR.

Cross-

Connection

A link made between two communications systems (e.g.: radio, SIP, etc.) interfaced by an

interoperability gateway. This could include only systems local to the gateway, or be a “wide-area”

system that brings in remote systems via a network.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Control. IP network protocol that assigns IP addresses and network configuration

parameters a needed in order to avoid assigning static (unchanging) IP addresses.

Dispatch

Capability for a designated dispatcher to have one-way monitoring of and two-way private

conversations with audio source systems (channels) outside of interoperability net activity.

DNS

Domain Name System. Essential component of internet functionality; DNS is a system for naming

system computers, services, or other resources connected to the internet or a private network.

DTMF

Dual Tone Multi Frequency. The standard touch-tone telephone dialing method sends DTMF audio

characters over a PSTN line for control purposes. Can also be used with FM radio.

DSP

Digital Signal Processing (or Processor).

Hangtime

Sometimes called VOX Hangtime, Receive Hangtime, or Transmit Hangtime, a hangtime causes a

device to maintain the effect of audio presence for a brief period even without the actual presence

of audio. Hangtime is often used to prevent brief pauses in input audio from unkeying an attached

transmitter during the pauses. It may be applied to input audio to provide consistent audio to

multiple outputs (VOX Hangtime or Receive Hangtime) or, theoretically, applied to an output

audio to solely effect a single output (Transmit Hangtime).

Key

To key a transmitter means to cause it to transmit.

LAN

Local Area Network. Connects local devices in the same geographic location, such as a building.

LMR

Land Mobile Radio.

Monitor

Capability on ACU-Z1 and Z2 Controllers (and classic JPS interoperability products) for a channel

to monitor/listen to one or more other channels, independently of dispatch.

NAT

Network Address Translation. A mechanism that translates and hides internal LAN IP addresses

from the outside world, which only sees a WAN IP address.

NXU-2BTM

Network Extension Unit. A JPS device that interfaces a radio or other 4-wire device to other

communications devices over an IP network. An NXU-2B uses RoIP. (Previous version NXU-2A).

PAT

Port Address Translation. (Sometimes referred to as ‘NAT Overlord’.) A mechanism employed

by a NAT router that allows internal hosts to use the same port numbers but expose different ports

to the WAN.

PBX

Private Branch Exchange. A telephone system owned and operated by a private company (such as

a manufacturing business) rather than by a telephone company such as ATT.

PCB

Printed Circuit Board.

PSTN

Public Switched Telephone Network. The world's public circuit-switched telephone network

which provides connectivity to fixed-line and mobile telephones.

PTT

Push-to-Talk. An active PTT signal causes a transmitter to key.

RoIP

Radio over Internet Protocol. JPS proprietary protocol which sends voice plus radio control signals

over an IP network.

RSP-Z2

JPS interoperability device interfaces radio, SIP, or RTP communications in a dual-channel

interoperability gateway.

RTP

Real-time Transport Protocol. Network protocol for delivering streaming audio over IP networks.

Z2 Controller Operations Manual

Z2C Installation and Operation Manual 6 Interoperability Now

Glossary

Receiver or Receiving.

SIP

Session Initiation Protocol. A flexible, standards-based, open protocol that initiates and manages

communications between devices over an IP network. Often used to make VoIP calls.

Soft Phone

A computer with software allowing it to be used as a VoIP phone.

Squelch

A circuit or software that mutes the audio output of a radio receiver if the carrier signal strength

falls below a certain level.

STUN

Session Traversal Utilities for NAT. Standardized set of methods for detecting and traversing

network address translators (such as a router) between two endpoints of communication.

Transmit or Transmitter.

URI

Uniform Resource Identifier. Unambiguous string of characters that identify a resource on a

network. (E.g. URL (Uniform Resource Locator) or web address.)

VMR

Voice Modulation Recognition. A form of audio presence detection based on the presence of

human speech and notably not by tones, noise, or other non-speech audio. It is typically used as a

gating mechanism for audio –when speech is detected by VMR, this allows the speech audio to

flow into or out of a device. VMR is particularly useful with noisy audio signals such as HF because

VMR will ignore most static and white noise.

VoIP

Voice Over Internet Protocol. Protocol for delivering voice communications over IP networks.

Most network-phone providers (such as Vonage), use VoIP.

VOX

Voice Operated Xmit (Transmit), or Voice Operated Switch. A form of audio presence detection

based on sound presence and volume. It is typically used as a gating mechanism for audio –when

sound exceeds a VOX threshold, this allows the audio to flow into or out of a device. The sound is

not restricted to voice only.

WAN

Wide Area Network. Connects local devices and LANs from multiple locations. A WAN may be

limited to a multi-site enterprise, for example, or accessible to the public (e.g. the internet).

Z2 Controller Operations Manual

Interoperability Now 1-1 Z2C Installation and Operation Manual

1Overview

The Z2 Controller creates a scalable interoperability system that is easily managed via its

straightforward, browser-based Graphical User Interface (GUI). Tying together the wide range

of audio communications devices remotely interfaced to it, the Z2 Controller enables audio

sharing with all JPS RoIP (Radio over IP) products, such as the NXU‑2B, the ACU-2000, the

ACU-M, etc., as well as with JPS’ new Z series of products, including the RSP-Z2 and the

ACU‑Z1. Features like simplified dispatch capability, monitoring by non-dispatch channels, and

IP recorder integration provide enhanced functionality, making the Z2 Controller an adaptable

solution to a diverse array of interoperability and communications uses.

1.1 Scope

This Installation and Operations Manual provides a description, specifications, and configuration

and operating instructions for the JPS Interoperability Solutions' Z2 Controller.

This section provides some essential background information that will assist in understanding

the capabilities of the Z2 Controller unit and the basic elements that make up an interoperability

system that it controls. The Z2 Controller will also be referred to as the Z2CTM.

Z2 Controller Operations Manual

Z2C Installation and Operation Manual 1-2 Interoperability Now

1.1.1 Important Definitions:

COR: A signal that indicates when a radio (or other type of communications

device, such as an ACU

‑

Z1 or an RSP-Z2) is receiving a valid audio signal.

PTT: A signal that tells a radio (or other communications device) to transmit the

audio signal being sent to it.

Full-Duplex Communication System: Users can simultaneously talk to and

listen (for example, a standard telephone call).

Simplex or Half-Duplex Communication System: Only one system user can

be heard at a time.

Interoperability Net: Communications link consisting of disparate devices (such

as radios of different frequencies, telephones, VoIP phones, etc.) connected

together, similar to a conference call.

The following paradigms are essential in understanding the basic operation of an interoperability

system.

•If multiple communications devices are engaged in an interoperability net, whenever one

device detects active COR (valid audio input), that audio, along with a PTT signal, is sent

to all other devices in the net to be transmitted.

•If any device in an interoperability net is half duplex (such as are almost all radio

systems), then all communications must be half duplex.

1.2 Z2 Controller Basic Overview

Using the Z2 Controller, Operators easily configure and manage up to 80 remote virtual

streaming channels and an optional USB headset using the intuitive GUI, which provides the

following functions:

•Easily create and manage interoperability nets that cross-connect various voice

communications systems that are interfaced to the Z2 Controller. Once they are

connected, an Operator simply manages all resources using the Z2 Controller GUI.

oVirtual JPS Bridge channels offer a means for remote devices, such as RSP‑Z2

Dual-Channel Interoperability Gateways and MCC Desktop Consoles, to

connect/stream audio to the Z2 Controller to expand interoperability coverage and

functionality. Optional encryption licenses are available for added security.

oVirtual JPS RoIP channels provide a mechanism for streaming audio from a

remote source –such as a radio connected to an NXU‑2B or a DSP‑2 card on an

ACU 2000 –to the Z2 Controller using JPS RoIP. They may also be used to

interface to a Push-to-Talk application such as JPS VIA. Optional encryption

licenses are available for added security.

Z2 Controller Operations Manual

Interoperability Now 1-3 Z2C Installation and Operation Manual

•Use the versatile Dispatch feature for one- and two-way communications.

oA 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).

oIt does not matter whether these resources are concurrently engaged in an

interoperability net.

•Monitor one or more channels independent of net/Dispatch activity.

oMultiple resources can be set up to monitor other channels.

oChannels 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.

Z2 Controller Operations Manual

Z2C Installation and Operation Manual 1-4 Interoperability Now

The example system has eight different voice communications channels: Five are different radio

bands/frequencies, another is a SIP Phone, and the remaining two consist of a pair of JPS VIA

PTT over Cellular Talkgroups. These channels are all interfaced to the system via four RSP-Z2

units using Bridge channels and one NXU-2B that uses JPS RoIP. Note that each of the JPS VIA

Talk Groups requires a dedicated RSP-Z2 channel, which is interfaced to the JPS VIA server and

adapts the JPS VIA channel into a format recognizable to the Z2C.

Each of the channels is configured on the Z2C, which can accept connections on up to 80 virtual

streaming channels, using JPS Bridge or JPS RoIP data stream protocols. By setting up channels

on the Z2C to accept these connections, users can manage streaming audio to and from connected

remote resources. (E.g. Putting channels in nets, dispatching to/from channels).

•JPS Bridge channels are available on newer JPS products, such as this unit as well as

other Z-series products, and on some third-party devices, such as the MCC Desktop

Console, that have implemented the JPS Bridge Channel Protocol.

•JPS RoIP (Radio over IP) is a JPS proprietary protocol that sends voice plus radio control

signals over an IP network. With only a few exceptions, JPS RoIP channels are available

on most JPS radio interoperability gateway products.

•While JPS’ newer products have both JPS Bridge and JPS RoIP streaming channels, it is

best to use Bridge channels as they carry additional helpful data such as Audio Priority.

Furthermore, JPS Bridge channels support streamlined integration with other JPS systems

and with select third-party products.

Operators browse to the Z2C GUI to create and dissolve any interoperability nets. Its audio

engine handles all audio mixing.
