The MC-IP-Series is a group of audio products
designed to provide very high audio quality over
ethernet using Internet Protocol. Audio quality is
consistent and predictable due to the implementation
of Streaming VoIP with our tried-and-true audio
designs and industry standard interfaces. The MC-IP
provides Master to Remote communication and
Master to Master Communication up to 32 Operators
and 512 Remotes with a single HOST. When using
MC-IP-SERVERS,
32
interconnected for a total system of 32 X 32 = 1024
Operators and 32 X 32 X 16 = 16,384 remote
stations.
By using a dedicated IP network with dedicated
switch, operator console, field device interface, and
HOST, the MC-IP maintains quality audio with no IT
setup. By plugging the units in they automatically
assign IP addresses and propagate configurations
based on ID settings on each device. This allows the
system programmer to program the system the way
it needs to be, for a specific facility, without worrying
about
the
IT
settings
Maintenance personal, without IT skills, can swap a
box and just set the box ID. As soon as it is attached
to a system, the Host sets the IT parameters and
downloads the unique characteristic that unit was
assigned during the original system programming.
System Station hardware offers a call confirmation
light and privacy alert tone for those areas that
require ADA and Right to Privacy Act compliance.
The System has an API Interface, for users who
would prefer to use their own Integrated Controller,
for Doors, Cameras, and Communications, from a
single touch screen control console.
The MC-IP Products use Standard 25-Volt Speakers,
and Internet wiring.
