teleCARE Wireless with Speech
The room controller (NIRC3) is required for speech in teleCARE IP Wireless and each NIRC3 must include a
voice piggyback module (NIVP). In order to achieve the required RF coverage some of the NIRC3s must
include a transceiver module (NIRX). Refer to
“RF Planning Considerations” on page 132
for details.
The wireless mobile transceiver (NITX) is required. The NITX is carried by residents and staff and used to
generate calls and other signals that are sent as RF transmissions and received by the NIRC3s.
A speech module (NISP), hard-wired to the NIRC3, must be installed in each room which requires speech.
Each NISP is assigned a telephone number in the system configuration. That telephone number is
automatically dialled when a staff member responds to a call and selects to speak.
In dynamic location mode an LF beacon (NILF) is needed at each room (see
) in order to identify the location of the NITX. The NILF is also needed if access control is required
at entrance doors.
8.3.1 “Static” and “Dynamic” Modes
teleCARE IP with speech can function in “Static” or “Dynamic” modes depending on the configuration in
the system manager of the of the mobile transceivers (NITX). Refer to the teleCARE IP Configuration
Manual TD93019US) for full details.
Static Mode
In “Static” mode, speech is always linked to the location that is set in the configuration of the mobile
transceiver (NITX) and speech communication is always directed to the speech module (NISP) at that
location.
Figure 170. Wireless nurse call example with speech - static mode
The example consists of three room controllers (NIRC3). Each NIRC3 includes a voice piggyback module
(NIVP) and two NIRC3s include a transceiver module (NIRX). There are five corridor lamps and each room
has a doorside module (NIDM) combined with a speech module (NISP). The two main entrance doors
have a passive location beacon (NILF) and a card reader module (NICR) for access control (yellow area).
