2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The N-8600MS is an IP multifunctional master station designed for use with TOA's packet intercom system (IP networkcompatible intercom system) that employs the packet audio technology*

. Connecting the IP multifunctional master station to a network permits the ideal system for in-house or wide-area information transmission applications, such as paging, periodical broadcasts, and background music broadcasts, to be built in combination with the N-8000MI Multi interface unit and N-8000EX/8010EX IP Intercom Exchange.

Using an optional YC-280 Wall mounting bracket, the station can be mounted on a wall, or tilted for easy key operation when used on a desktop.

Technology related to audio transmission over a network.

Warning

This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

3. FEATURES

• Clear conversations between stations over wide band.

• The system's echo cancellation*

feature makes hands-free duplex conversation possible (conversations made without

using a handset at both parties) between stations.

• Can be connected to an existing local area network (LAN) or wide-area network (WAN). The system can also be easily

connected to fiber-optic networks without restrictions on operating distance.

• The dedicated software program enables centralized control with a personal computer.

• System maintenance (verifying operation log and line supervision) can also be performed with a personal computer and

Internet browser.

• Connecting the station to a PoE (Power over Ethernet) switching hub eliminates the need for an AC adapter.

A circuit that prevents acoustic feedback or echo generated when the voice output from the station's internal speaker enters the microphone.

4. WHEN MOUNTING THE STATION ON A WALL

When mounting the station on a wall, the orientation of the handset hook needs to be changed.

Step 1. Raise the number directory cover forward tab.

Step 2. Remove both the number directory cover and the

directory. Remove the handset hook and reverse its orientation, then replace.

Step 3. After replacing the directory on the station, hook
