Logging in
Your new JPS RSP-Z2 has a factory-default IP address of 192.168.1.200/24, with no gateway or DNS set. To begin setup and configuration, you will navigate to that address from a PC through your web browser. To do that, your computer must be on the same network as the RSP-Z2.
If you are unsure how to put your computer on the same network as the RSP-Z2, more info can be found here, or by working with your IT administrator.
With your computer on the same network, connect an Ethernet cable (suggest CAT5E or better) from your PC's network/Ethernet port to the Ethernet port on the RSP-Z2 and navigate to the IP address mentioned above (http://192.168.1.200). On the login page, enter the default credentials:
- Username: su
- Password: su
Pre-configured Layouts
On initial login, you will be prompted to choose one of the pre-configured layouts. Options include:
- Cross-Connected (resource 1 to resource 2)
- Cross-Connected with Backhaul (resource 1 to resource 2 to resource 3)
- Independent Passthrough (resource 1 to resource 3, and resource 2 to resource 4)
- Custom (you can patch the resources together as needed using the drag-and-drop UI)
One must be chosen before you're able to proceed with initial configuration.
Changing the Unit's IP Address
Now that you're logged in, you may need to change the IP address of your RSP-Z2 to work on your network. The minimum requirement for this is to update its IP address and subnet mask. For Internet access, you will also need a default gateway configured, and for certain resource types you will need DNS servers configured as well. More information can be found here.
NOTE: If you change the IP address of your RSP-Z2 you may need to reconfigure the static IP address you previously set on your PC to re-establish the IP connection to the RSP-Z2. If your PC is no longer on the same address scheme as your RSP-Z2 you will be unable to access the UI.
Selecting Resource Type
The RSP-Z2 has multiple resource types available. These include Radio, JPS RoIP, JPS Bridge, SIP, RTP, MCC Console, various Push-to-Talk over Cellular (Motorola WAVE PTX (Kodiak), Zello, ESChat and others), and USB Headset.
Once you select the resource type, there will be various steps to complete the setup of the resource, please reference the manual, here, for more detailed instructions. Also see here for supplemental guides and setup/operational material.
