Digital Intercom
From ASL communications comes the very latest in Digital Communication technology. Using simple cat5e cable a fully addressable digital communication matrix can be created allowing up to 240 individual users over single or multiple groups. Using intuitive software the system configuration is finished in minutes and each beltpack can then be moved around the installation with the ease and simplicity one requires. At any stage of use, the system recognises the locality of the beltpacks within the system thereby allowing freedom of movement whilst retaining user identity. Events/ Configurations can be locally or remotely stored to speed system set up even more.
DS 4000M Master Matrix Unit
A matrix unit serves a maximum of 40 User Stations. Six Matrix Stations can be linked to form an intercom network of 240 Users (see drawing). A master matrix unit has USB, PC, RS 232, VGA and Ethernet connectors, which are not to be found on a matrix slave unit.

DS 1640 16-Channel Speaker Station
This ASL digital speaker station is available as a 16 channel unit to which a 20 channel extension panel can be added, thus forming a 36 channel user station.

DS 290 2-Channel Beltpack
The DS 290 is a portable 2-channel intercom user station housed in a strong ABS case and provided with a belt clip. The unit is powered from a matrix unit through the intercom line (CAT5 cable).

Besides communication via the groups, communication is also possible between one user station directly with another user station. This is called PTP (Person to Person) communication, similar to a private phone call. The beltpack can receive and initiate PTP calls.

Additionally, the beltpack can receive text messages.
