Symmetry™ Intercom Control Integration
The Symmetry™ Intercom Control Integration package provides a graphical intercom
call station connection and logging capability from within the Access Control and
Security Management System (SMS). Intercom call requests, connections and status
are all shown on one easy to use screen. If required, intercom call stations may
be grouped and routed to an unrestricted number of client machines.
This is especially
useful for busy sites, which may have a large number of call stations installed.
The operator can make and receive intercom calls, plus log intercom activity. Extensive
history reporting capabilities provide the operator with accurate call station connection
information.
Full Intercom functionality is also available through the standard Map features
available in the Business, Professional, Enterprise and Global Software packages.
Intercom requests can be reported as an alarm and the call connection can be made
directly from the Alarms screen.
The operator can optionally associate an audio file and command action with each
call station.
Call requests, connections and command actions are performed using the “View - Intercom
Control Screen”, which is available for selection on any standard client machine
that has an intercom station number defined. The status of all call requests and
connections is updated on all client machines. The system prevents multiple operators
from attempting to connect to the same call station at the same time.
