Overview
Station-IC Virtual Desktop Client
Station-IC is a virtual desktop client that provides a scalable intercom user station on Windows and MacOS computers. Connecting to Eclipse HX IP-capable matrices, Gen-IC virtual intercom or LQ Series IP Interfaces, Agent-IC provides access to the system’s available resources including partyline channels with their call signals and logic controls on Gen-IC and LQ as well as one-to-one, one-to-many, ISO and IFB communication on Eclipse matrix intercom systems. Individual keyset listening levels help users focus on specific channels while monitoring others. All this functionality can be tailored to each user to create an efficient intercom user station on their computer.
Efficient Operation for Multi-tasking Desktop User
Station-IC’s ergonomic, easy-to-use interface is designed for familiarity and consistency with other user stations, including Agent-IC® and V-Series Iris™ panels. Station-IC’s large Talk and Listen buttons with individual level control and clear indication of the current state allowing operation with mouse and touchscreens. The window can be shaped and scaled to fit the screen and shows latched keys as well as input and output audio meters. Station-IC’s always-on-top compact mode allows users to keep their favourite intercom keys visible in the smallest window, even while working on other applications. Favourite keys can be dynamically designated by the user, without any administrator involvement, ensuring that notifications of incoming calls and Eclipse reply / LQ call keys are always visible.
Administration & Configuration
Station-IC supported by Eclipse matrix systems are assigned a port along with a username, password, and key assignments in the EHX configuration software which are immediately pushed to the Agent-IC. Station-IC supported by Gen-IC virtual intercom or LQ IP Interface are configured in the browser-based Core Configuration Manager™ (CCM) interface which facilitates creation of user accounts, associated roles and key assignments for the Station-IC.
Robust Technological Foundation
Station-IC uses multiple mission specific audio codecs for audio alongside a proprietary control transport protocol designed to operate over LAN, WAN and Internet network connections of various quality. Clear-Com’s capable IP connectivity, requiring only a single network port on the Eclipse / LQ host end, drastically minimizes efforts required for network management and routing to public internet connectivity while Gen-IC virtual intercom is always accessible on the internet providing intercom operation over the internet without network requirements. Station-IC connects to the host Eclipse HX matrix via the E-IPA/IVC-32 card, Gen-IC virtual intercom or any LQ series Interface device with available capacity.
