User Experience 

The  Wahsega  Carina  Event  Manager  Lite  is  a  next-generation  mass 
notification  and  IoT  platform  for  many  different  types  of  buildings. 
Featuring  an  easy-to-use  calendar  scheduler,  it  incorporates  live  paging 
and announcements with audio, text and flashers in addition to sensors 
and  relays  for  monitoring  a  variety  of  building  systems.  A  member  of 
Wahsega’s  Carina  family  of  products,  the  Event  Manager  Lite  performs 
auto-discovery  on  Carina  endpoints  at  startup  and  enables  users  to 
configure those endpoints individually or in bulk. 

Used in conjunction with a SIP server such as Wahsega’s PICS, standard IP 
phones  can  initiate  live  audio  announcements  from  the  Carina  Event 
Manager  Lite  to  paging  zones  throughout  the  building.  For  bells  and 
announcements including audio and text, pre-recorded audio files stored 
in  the  Event Manager  Lite  can be  sent  to  endpoints via  a preconfigured 
calendar event, a SIP call or the click of a webpage button. In addition, IoT 
sensors  can  be  connected  to  the  Carina  Sensor  Interface  Appliance  to 
send out announcements when conditions trigger a relay closure. 

With  auto-discovery,  bulk  configuration  and  quick  webpage  setup,  the 
Carina Event Manager Lite makes it easy to deploy a reliable building-wide 
announcement and monitoring system.
