The IP116-D-CS Announcement Control System (aka ACS) is the heart of AtlasIED's next generation GLOBALCOM enterprise wide communications management system. It manages the flow of announcements and messages between network endpoints such as digital communication stations, zone controllers, network power amplifiers, IP-based speakers and other types of IP endpoints. Additionally it serves as a gateway for external I/O devices, VoIP telephone systems and analog audio to be incorporated into the ecosystem. The IP116-D-CS model has the ability to interface with external systems via eight (8) built-in logic inputs and eight (8) built-in relay outputs as well as two (2) balanced line level audio inputs for background music input. The IP116-D-CS Controller supports VoIP communications with Audio over Ethernet (AoE) functionality using sixteen digital channels of Dante™ digital audio transport over the same network infrastructure simultaneously. Our VoIP is Wide Area Network (WAN) enabled allowing communication to be routed across an entire enterprise or to another LAN location.
