JTECH MultiCast Quick Setup Manual

Integration Station – MultiCast
MultiCast is the ability for JTECH transmitters to send cascading pages to a series of transmitters over an IT network.
This cascade allows the user to cover areas within the facility(ies) without the need for radio repeaters or large-scale
broadcast antennas. Using this form of MultiCast permits for the expansion of signal to a specific area regardless of
distance.
•
Each ISTATION contains two IP Addresses, its own and the next ISTATION (POS IP Address) it will be
transmitting to.
•
The display on each ISTATION should show a consistent "Y" to denote it is in the MultiCast chain.
o If it shows an "N" in the top right corner instead there is an error in the loop.
•
When paging through MultiCast, each ISTATION will flash an "R" if receiving a signal Over the Air or "T"
next to the "Y" to confirm transmitting of the page.
•
Every additional ISTATION will increase the number of times a pager is paged in milliseconds
o EX: A multicast system with 4 ISTATIONS will page 4 times.
Example IP address as reference only, please contact your IT department for
assistance in IP Address setup and assignment.
