Via the new PC Telephone Interface it is possible to control medium and large size Praesideo Systems from a telephone set by making prerecorded or live announcements. Any VoIP or traditional POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) telephone can be customized for caller identification, predefined call selection, zone and/or zone group selection and live speech. A customizable voice response menu is also available to guide the caller in entering the data required to make a call. It is also possible to program the Telephone Keypad through the PC Telephone Interface to function as a user interface.
The new PC Telephone Interface runs as a client of the Bosch PC Call Server in the same way as the recently introduced Praesideo PC Call Station. The PC Call Server allows single as well as multiple Praesideo Systems to be controlled over TCP/IP.
