CONSEILS DE SÉCURITÉ

TOA's N-8000EX and N-8010EX are exchanges used for the N-8000 Series Packet Intercom System (IP network compatible intercom) employing packet audio technology*

. By connecting IP intercom exchanges (which permit connection of up to 16 stations per exchange) to a network (LAN or WAN), an optimal system for in-house or wide area information communications, such as duplex conversations between stations and paging broadcasts, can be constructed. Since up to 80 exchanges can be combined, systems of up to a total of 1,280 stations can be realized. The system's "echo cancellation"*

feature makes hands-free duplex conversation possible (conversations made without using a handset at both parties) between stations.

Technology related to audio transmission over a network.

A circuit that prevents acoustic feedback or echo generated when the voice output from the station's internal speaker enters the microphone. Warning This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

• Exchanges can be distributed over a data communications network.

• Can be connected to an existing local area network (LAN) or wide-area network (WAN). The system can also be easily connected to ber-optic networks without restrictions on operating distance.

• The dedicated software program enables centralized control with a personal computer.

• System maintenance (verifying operation log and Line supervision) can also be performed with a personal computer and Internet browser.

• Both types of exchanges differ in the following points. N-8000EX: 4 pairs of internal call, 8 pairs of external call, with PA paging output N-8010EX: 1 pair of internal call, 2 pairs of external call, without PA paging output CARACTÉRISTIQUES
