The CyberData SIP-enabled IP Emergency Intercom is a Power over Ethernet (PoE 802.3af) and VoIP (Voice over IP) two-way communication device used in an area where either an emergency panic button or two-way priority communication is required. The Intercom is compatible with most SIP-based IP PBX servers that comply with RFC 3261. The VoIP Intercom can be configured as a Night Ringer with two SIP extensions. One extension can be assigned to a page group for auto answer paging. The second extension can be assigned to a “First-to-Answer” Night Ring group with IP phones. An audio ring file is activated when the second SIP extension of the Intercom is dialed. If any of the IP phones in the ring group is answered (or if the caller hangs up), the Intercom stops ringing. Additional features include priority-based multicast support, push to talk function, night ringer function and event reporting, as well as firmware uploads via the web.
