VOcia DeSk StatiOn 4 (DS-4)
The DS-4 is a desktop networked paging station for use in Vocia
®
systems. The DS-4 features embedded DSP and on-board memory
to support standard and advanced public address and mass notification functionalities. The DS-4 can store four user-configurable page
codes. Additionally, all device-specific configuration information is stored locally, which means the DS-4 does not rely on a centralized
controller for processing and page routing. Thus, the processing, routing and storage functionality in a Vocia
®
system is decentralized.
This eliminates the centralized point of failure and builds redundancy directly into the network. As part of the Vocia system, the DS-4
meets paging requirements for facilities of all sizes.
