Using TalkMaster LE, systems may be configured for point-to-point or point-to-multipoint modes. In point-to-point applications, two intercoms may be configured for direct push-to-talk functionality without the requirement of a PC. In point-to-multipoint applications, TalkMaster provides intercom management for hundreds of ii3 2-wayIntercoms or public address paging stations. TalkMaster’s unique intercom management system is completely software-based and scalable. Additional intercoms and stations may be added one endpoint at a time by adding ii3 hardware to available network Ethernet connections.

For sophisticated users and applications, TalkMaster Enterprise Edition provides flexibility in addressing the special needs of complex, multi-station, multi-operator and multi-site installations. Whether your application is a parking facility, educational institution, corrections, high-security port authority, or many other applications, TalkMaster-EE provides

• Faster call response with rules-based call routing,

• Enhanced staff utilization by consolidating monitoring operations,

• System Flexibility to address changing facility layouts,

• Configuration flexibility allows you to tailor your system to each environment,

• Secured administrator configuration and operator log-in.

• Digital Audio Recorder and Audit functions.

Designed to manage intercom and public address operations over IP networks, TalkMaster-EE provides for flexibility in design, engineering and operation. TalkMaster-EE manages Digital Acoustics’ ii3 IP Intercom and Paging Products, providing voice-quality sound (including QOS—Quality of Service) and low network bandwidth utilization (80 kbps per session).

TalkMaster-EE's server based topology can manage 1,000’s of intercom and paging end-points from multiple sites and consoles, regardless of geography. A powerful set of intercom call queue rules establishes site-specific call response hierarchies.

As a 100% IP-based solution, TalkMaster-EE operates on available network infrastructure and there is no need to purchase proprietary network hardware. In addition to eliminating substantial initial acquisition cost for dedicated single-use hardware, this topology minimizes future costs related to communication system relocation as command centers can be established wherever the network exists. Importantly, this solution provides organizations with the flexibility to add intercom or public address end-points one at a time. Because TalkMaster is a software solution, there is no need for additional head-end chassis or cards.

A key feature in the TalkMaster-EE Communication System is real-time call handling, using rules-based queue management. Intercom queues are groups of intercoms that may be assigned to human console operators acting in management teams. To assure service quality, TalkMaster-EE incorporates a powerful set of rules-based controls to handle incoming call counts, waiting time in queue and call priorities. By applying these rules, the TalkMaster-EE Administrator is able to establish call response hierarchies for virtually any organizational requirement. 

TalkMaster-EE Communication Management Software records every substantial aspect of an intercom call transaction; among the information gathered and available on the Administration Console Screen are:

• Console operator and administrator sign-in and sign-off,

• Call start/stop including source,

• Recording of both audio paths, and

• Intercom call station status

Welcome to Digital Acoustics’ Sip Media Gateway (SMG) used for connecting IP Intercom/Paging Endpoints to SIP Capable Phone systems.

SIP Media Gateway (SMG) Standalone configuration.  In this configuration, all ii3 and IP7 Intercoms/Paging Endpoints are configured to connect directly to the SMG. The SMG must be running on a PC that has been logged into Window

Operationally, the SMG makes a connection to a SIP capable phone system logging in every Phone Extension that has been assigned to one or more Intercoms/Paging Endpoints. The SMG acts as a software gateway between the Intercoms/Paging Endpoints and the SIP capable phone system.  The SMG supports:

• An Intercom initiated 2-way communication session with an extension or telephone number accessible through the SIP phone system,

• A SIP phone System initiated 2-way communication session with an Intercom

• A SIP Phone System initiated 1-way page to an Intercom or group of Intercoms/Paging Endpoints,

• Sending a "Door Open"  command from a telephone to an Intercom,

   The SMG runs as a Windows application that resides in the System Tray.  Once configured, the SMG does not require any interaction from the PC operator.

System Requirements:

• Windows 2000 or Windows XP,
• Pentium IV 2.0 GHz or faster
• 512 MB RAM (1.0 GB suggested), 50 MB Available Disk Space 

Compatible System for VoIP: ex:

• Asterisk Appliance
• Asterisk V1.4 running on Linux
• 3CX
• SIPnBPX
