VOCIA TELEPHONE PAGING ADAPTER (POTS-1)
The Vocia Telephone Paging Adapter 1 (POTS-1) facilitates a direct connection from two (POTS-1-2) or four (POTS-1-4) Plain Old Telephone
Service (POTS) lines, or POTS-based PBX telephone systems. The interface permits live, real-time paging using any Page Code within
the Vocia system. When calling into a POTS line, a number of software-configurable voice prompt functions are available including Page
Code selection, Zone status indication and Page Now indication. A DTMF sequence of tones can also be programmed in the software to be
associated with a Vocia Control Input Event.
In the event of a busy Zone status, the POTS-1 supports Page Stacking and Store-and-Forward message queuing.
The POTS-1 supports Pre-recorded Messages when a Message Server-1 (MS-1) is present in the system. The POTS-1 also supports
Emergency Paging functions when a Vocia Life Safety Interface (LSI-16 or LSI-16e) is present in the system.
