Overview

The IP108-EDU-CS Announcement Control System (aka ACS) is the heart of AtlasIED's next-generation GLOBALCOM^®.EDU mass communication platform designed for educational institutions. It manages the flow of announcements and messages between network endpoints such as digital communication stations, zone controllers, network power amplifiers, IP-based speakers and other types of IP endpoints. Additionally it serves as a gateway for external I/O devices, VoIP telephone systems and analog audio to be incorporated into the ecosystem.

Each model is 'plug and play' ready with GCK application software installed and ready to be easily configured via an intuitive browser-based interface.

The IP108-EDU-CS model has the ability to interface with external systems via eight (8) built-in logic inputs and eight (8) built-in relay outputs as well as two (2) balanced line level audio inputs for background music input.

The IP108-EDU-CS Series Controllers support VoIP communications with Audio over Ethernet (AoE) functionality using eight digital channels of CobraNet^®digital audio transport over the same network infrastructure simultaneously. Our VoIP is Wide Area Network (WAN) enabled allowing communication to be routed across an entire enterprise or to another LAN location.

Each IP108-EDU-CS purchased includes up to two-(2) free hours of telephone support with AtlasIED technicians. Free support can be used for initial configuration or at any time during the life of the unit when technical support is required.
