60 PC Call Station Client

60.1 Introduction

With the PC Call Station Client, you can connect to the PC Call Server (see chapter 58) and start calls or control the background music (BGM). The PC Call Station Client acts as an operator panel on a PC, similar to a normal call station. It offers some functions that are not available on normal call stations, such as:

•The possibility to make calls to zones in different subsystems, each having its own network controller.

•Easy control of multiple simultaneous calls (without live speech).

•Accurate information about the status of the zones.

•Easy localization of zones on the screen using a graphical background with multiple tabs.

•Accurate information about the BGM channel and volume setting of BGM in each zone.

60.2 Requirements

The PC Call Station Client can run on any PC that meets the following minimum requirements:

•Operating system:

Microsoft® Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or Microsoft® Windows Vista or

Microsoft® Windows 7

•Network connection: 100 base-T

•1 GB RAM
