Introduction
The ZCM-V2 Zone Controller Pro is an analog gateway for Atlas Sound
IP paging systems. This model is compatible with Atlas Sound's
ControlKom©and Singlewire’s InformaCast©software. The ZCM-V2
provides a line level output to connect to Atlas Sound commercial
amplifiers and an 8Ω, 25V, 70.7V amplified output to drive small analog
speaker zones. It also includes 2 GPI Inputs, 2 GPI Outputs and
Microphone input for talk back applications. Power can be supplied via
plug-in transformer (IPS-PSU) or by 802.3af compliant PoE network
switches. All control features of the ZCM-V2 are software controlled.
Functionality
Once connected to a network and powered, the ZCM-V2 will boot up
and obtain an IP address from a DHCP server on the network. Next,
the unit will listen for an SLP broadcast from InformaCast / ControlKom
software telling the unit where the service is running on the network.
Once the ZCM-V2 identifies the software’s location, it will request
the InformaCastSpeaker.cfg file and register. The MAC address of the
ZCM-V2 will then show in the ‘Unidentified Speakers” page in the
software. Please refer to the installation manual of the software for
additional configuration settings.
After the module has registered with the software, its HTTP page can
be accessed by navigating to its IP address with any browser. This page
will show its current firmware version and registration information.

GPI Interface
GPI Inputs:
GPI Inputs 1 and 2 are used to trigger events in the ControlKom and Informacast software packages. Refer to software manuals for functionality.
GPI Outputs:
Via the InformaCastSpeaker.cfg file the GPIO’s can be configured for special operations.
To activate the GPI Out closure when audio is playing, use a tag like this:
<GPIO while_audio_output="1x" />
The first digit controls GPI Out 1; the second controls GPI Out 2.
"1" means to close it when audio is playing, open it otherwise.
"0" means to open it when audio is playing, close it otherwise.
"x" means the that GPI Out is not affected by audio playing.
Example:
<InformaCastSpeakerConfiguration>
<Servers registration-interval="5">
<InformaCast url="http://server_ip_address:8081/InformaCast/admin?cmd=spkr"/>
</Servers>

GPI Applications
Below is an application that will isolate the audio output from the amplifier until a broadcast is active.
Mounting
One or Two Zone Controller Pro units can be rack mounted side by side via a 2RU face plate. This 2RU face plate is included with the ZC1PRO and the
ZC2PRO systems. The faceplat may be purchased separately, using part number ZCM-V2FP.
Or wall mount via the 2 keyholes
