Guide JPS Interoperability Solutions RSP-Z2 Radio Interoperability
Gateway main purpose is to capably link any voice
communications format to any other. RSP-Z2 gateway features
both radio and RoIP interfaces (along with interfaces for a variety
of other voice communications formats), which is capable of
linking donor resources locally as well as over an IP network.
Each donor radio is connected by a custom radio interface
cable. Each cable has a circuit board with attenuation networks
and coupling capacitors, set for optimal performance with the
specific radio. All JPS interface cables have an associated
Application Notes document to indicate proper, factory-
optimized settings for the available radio interface configuration
options. These are identical to the settings that are automatically
set when the associated Radio Template is applied. All cables
are designed to conform to the gateway’s default settings
wherever possible, minimizing setup adjustment requirements.
Keep in mind that these optimized settings may not be best
for each individual radio, and some individual “tweaking” of
settings may improve performance. JPS has a library of cables
customized for hundreds of different makes and models of
radios and can manufacture interface cables on request for
nearly any type of communication device.
Steps to Set-up JPS RSP-Z2 Gateway:
• On the RSP-Z2 console, turn Power On.
• Ensure all network settings are configured, first on the Cradlepoint, then the
RSP-Z2.
• Verify RSP-Z2 console operating on latest firmware at https://www.jpsinterop.
com/downloads/firmware/.
• Contact Push-to-Talk Over Cellular (PTToC) provider for PTT interoperability
between RDK, XP8 handsets and radios. Each PTT provider requires a unique
configuration.
• Connect JPS interoperability radio cables to compatible donor radios and RDK-3i
Radio 1 and Radio 2 ports.
• Configure the LMR settings for the radios connected per the guidelines that are
included with the JPS interface cables. Test and tweak settings accordingly.
Change Cradlepoint Gateway:
• Login to Cradlepoint (locally or via NetCLoud)
• Browse to Networking > Local Networks > Local IP Networks
• Check the box on Primary LAN
• Click Edit button
• Select IPv4 Settings
• Change IP address to 192.168.1.1
• Click Save, then click OK
Configure JPS RSP-Z2:
• Browse to the RSP-Z2 to set up the radio and PTToC connections. The default IP
address of the RSP-Z2 is 192.168.1.200.
• Once setting the Cradlepoint to that default LAN, set the Subnet Mask
255.255.255.0 and the Gateway IP 192.168.1.1, first on the Cradlepoint router,
then add the Gateway IP to the RSP-Z2.
• Note: Each PTT provider requires a unique configuration. Motorola Solutions
/ Kodiak PTToC based applications require VPN. ESChat based applications
require a static public IP SIM and then configuration is pier to pier using server
generated Port using UDP traffic. The pubic addresses on the RSP-Z2 and the
VIA server on AWS must match and also the Ports must match to securely register.
The RDK-3i includes LEDs to display Cradlepoint modem,
cellular network and satellite status. In order for the LEDs
on RDK-3i to work, a LED application must be added to the
Cradlepoint Netcloud Manager account.
Open Netcloud Manager account
Select Tools
Enable NCOS SDK by checking the checkbox
Add a new application by clicking Add
Add LEDpoison SDK by selecting the file from the
browse field
Click Upload to add the LEDpoison SDK
Assign the LEDpoison SDK to the Cradlepoint router in the
RDK-3i by clicking on Groups
If you don't have a Group created, please add a new Group
Select the checkmark box beside the Group to assign the
LEDpoison SDK
Select Commands, select Manage NCOS SDK Applications
Select the checkmark box beside the LEDpoison SDK, select
the Add button, select Done
Any existing and new Cradlepoint units in the Group will load the
LEDpoison SDK automatically.
Once the Cradlepoint unit is updated and SDK installed,
please reboot the Cradlepoint router to apply the LED lighting
configuration on the RDK-3i.
The Satellite option with intelligent failover can be used
when there is no cellular connectivity or in an access restricted
environment.
Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) terminal, Cobham
Explorer 710 is certified to use with the RDK-3i Kit.
Every Sonim XP8 smartphone comes as a part of the RDK-3i,
pre-installed with the Cobham SATCOM EXPLORER
Connect application. EXPLORER Connect offers monitoring and
configuration of the EXPLORER terminal and includes a built-in
satellite phone for making or receiving satellite calls using the
EXPLORER terminal.
If you are in a cellular restricted area, you can connect the
Explorer 710 terminal into the WAN interface. Follow
the terminal's instructions to connect it to the satellite. This
will allow the internal router to have a network connection
similar to the cellular connection except via the Inmarsat
BGAN satellite service.
Bandwidth can vary based on the type of satellite
terminal attached.
The BGAN Explorer 710 is optional and may be
purchased separately.
To power down the RDK-3i Kit, depress the power button
which will remove internal power to all RDK-3i components.
This will also disengage the power relay that connects the
internal battery to the unit.
The RDK-3i Kit can be stored without worry of the internal
battery discharging for up to 6 months.
It is good practice to keep the RDK-3i Kit and Sonim XP8
smartphones charged at all times and ready for deployment.
A regular cadence of inspection, and maintenance to include
charging is highly recommended to keep the unit “mission-ready.”
When storing the XP8's in the device compartment, the top 2
devices should be placed face down.
