- The MultiPathCommunications System is a high-performance microprocessor controlled communications system designed specifically for the needs of schools.
- It combines the features of an electronic telephone system with the capabilities of a sound and program distribution system, and includes emergency all call paging and alarm functions.
- The system supports up to four administrative ports for communications between the office and classrooms. Each administrative port can be connected to a single line telephone, key system, or PBX as required for unlimited answering positions. The system also includes eight audio paths to simultaneously allow any combination of administrative phone and classroom communications, paging, class change tones, and distribution of program material.
- The classroom is equipped with a loudspeaker to receive class change tones, program material, such as background music, emergency tones, page announcements and intercom. The system may also be equipped with call in switches, and supports one-way speakers and horns to provide audio to hallways, outside locations, or other large areas that do not require handsfree talkback.
- The system can be configured to utilize category 3 or 5 telcom/data wiring to reduce installation cost. A built-in Ethernet Port allows LAN/WAN administration access for system changes.
- Since most features are controlled by software, system configuration is easily changed or upgraded. A Windows based programming tool is provided for system setup.
