Usage Notes

- In order for the PTT Pro client to use ZEMS, the client must be configured with ZEMS parameters including the ZEMS Server URL and a customer-specific API key. These parameters are provided by Zebra.
- Messages sent using ZEMS will not reach PTT Pro clients using PTT Pro messaging and vice versa. This includes the Windows PTT Pro Desktop client users who need to communicate with ZEMS users must use the ZEMS Web client.
