Appendix A - Interface Examples
Public Address (Paging) Amplier
Connection to a typical PA amplifier is simple and easy. Among the leading manufacturers,
such as Bogen and Cooper-Wheelock, specifics of the connections vary; in the example
depicted a Sound Blaster cable from 3.5mm phone plug to RCA plug will suffice. In most
cases the Line Out of the AM360a connects to a line-level input of the PA amp, usually
labeled Aux or Line.
LMR Remote Control
The AM360a can be employed as a simple radio remote control console as part of a larger
WAVE installation. Configure the AM360a as normal with a multicast group address and port,
create a matching Multicast Trunk in WAVE, then bridge this new WAVE channel with the
desired standard channel via an Advanced Session.
When the AM360a is outfitted with a Kenwood KMC-27B hand PTT microphone or KMC-9C
desk PTT microphone and an 8-Ohm speaker it becomes another link into your IP voice
communications network.

Weather Radio Channel
Public safety and businesses that have fleets that work outdoors can benefit from keeping
abreast of changing weather conditions. A single inexpensive weather receiver or radio
scanner can be connected to the Line In of the AM360a to provide vital weather reports and
severe weather alerts to everyone on your WAVE IP voice communications network.
