The IP116-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 IP116-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. The IP116-EDU-CS Series Controllers support VoIP communications with Audio over Ethernet (AoE) functionality using sixteen 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 IP100-EDU Announcement Control System (ACS) is specifically designed for educational institutions. The IP100-EDU is the heart of AtlasIED’s next generation GLOBALCOM .EDU enterprise wide communications management system. It manages the flow of announcements and messages between network endpoints such as digital communication stations, zone controllers, network power amplifiers, IP-based loudspeakers, 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 configured via an intuitive browser-based interface. Every IP100-EDU 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. The controllers support VoIP communications with models available supporting Audio over Ethernet (AoE) functionality using Audinate Dante or CobraNet digital audio transport over the same network infrastructure simultaneously.
