4.0.Das Funktionsschema von PageMatrix

4.1.Überblick

4.1.1.Die Komponenten

PageMatrix/MediaMatrix-Rufsysteme bestehen aus fŸnf Hauptkomponenten:

Mindestens einer PageMatrix-Rufstation, die mit den richtigen CAT-5-Kabeln am PageMatrix-Cotroller angeschlossen ist.

Dem PageMatrix-Controller, in den die benštigte Konfigurationsdatei geladen wurde.

Der PageMatrix-Software

Einem MediaMatrix-Audiosystem, in dem PASHA lŠuft.

Einer Datei namens PASHA.ini, die fŸr die Ansichtsdatei (View File) kompiliert ist.

4.1.2.AnschlŸsse

Die Rufstationen werden mit CAT-5-Kabeln am PageMatrix-Controller angeschlossen. Dieses Kabel ŸbertrŠgt drei verschiedene Signale: das analoge Audiosignal vom Mikrofon, die Spannung fŸr die Stromversorgung der Rufstation und die seriellen Steuerungsdaten, die bestimmen, wohin das Audiosignal des Mikrophons von MediaMatrix gelenkt wird.

Die analogen Mikrofonsignale aller Rufstationen gelangen separat vom jeweiligen Ausgang an der RŸckwand des PageMatrix-Controllers zu den SignaleingŠngen der MediaMatrix- Breakout-Boxen (ãBoBÕsÒ).

Einer der seriellen EingŠnge an der RŸckwand des PageMatrix-Controllers ist mit einem der KommunikationseingŠnge (COM-Ports) an der RŸckwand des MediaMatrix-Computers verbunden.

4.1.3.Die Tisch-Rufstationen (Station Four und Station Ten)

Das an der Rufstation angeschlossene tastenaktivierte Mikrofon wird lokal nicht beschaltet. Bei allen Modellen ist das Mikrofon immer eingeschaltet. DrŸckt man eine Taste an der Station, wird lediglich die serielle Kommunikation mit dem Controller aktiviert.

4.1.4.Der PageMatrix-Controller Diese Einheit hat drei Aufgaben:

1:Die Versorgung der Rufstationen mit Strom.

2:Die Weiterleitung der analogen Mikrofonsignale von den Rufstationen an die EingŠnge der ãBoBÕsÒ des MediaMatrix-Systems.
