Quality Standards
Wahsega Labs products achieve the highest standards of
performance in the market by utilizing our complete quality
assurance program encompassing software testing, product design
and a multistage automated factory test program.
Wahsega Labs’ ultimate goal is to provide a solution that is both cost
effective and unsurpassed in quality. By leveraging existing
relationships with suppliers to guarantee premium components at the
lowest possible prices, we are able to ensure Wahsega Labs products
are the finest quality in the market while still offered at highly
competitive prices directly to installers.
In order to achieve the greatest possible voice clarity, all voice and
related algorithms have been individually tested to ensure the highest
potential MOS score. The accumulated error syndrome, which can
cause poor voice quality, is mitigated through this testing process.
Wahsega Labs’ engineering team utilizes a wide array of dedicated test
servers to pull and build the various software projects multiple times
per day. Each automatic build is then run through an extensive set of
automated test cases to ensure the highest performance of each and
every firmware version released. This test case coverage is expanded
on a continual basis.
All Wahsega Labs products are 100% factory tested at the board level
through a bed of nails full functional test, not just an “is it close
enough?” flying probe test. Every finished product is 100% tested again
after the final assembly via an automated test station to ensure the
highest production quality product for installers.
To assure the highest quality standards, all Wahsega Labs products are
designed, developed and manufactured in the USA.

Chapter 2
User Experience
The Wahsega Surface Mount Wall Speaker with InformaCast may look like
a standard wall speaker, but it can receive audio from both the
InformaCast Advanced Notification System and a SIP PBX, acting as an
intercom for two-way conversations with the help of its built-in
microphone.
Featuring dual registration with both InformaCast and SIP servers, the
speaker is able to receive InformaCast pages in high- or low-quality
audio—both live and pre-recorded—while also supporting normal SIP
intercom calls.
The speaker may also be connected to a panic button to make emergency
SIP calls and/or a remote wall panel to access classroom sound
reinforcement functions. Its two onboard relays can be controlled by the
InformaCast server to operate door locks for up to two doors per
classroom.
In addition, a second, auxiliary speaker may be connected up to 20 meters
away via Ethernet cable. Two different Wahsega auxiliary speaker models
can be used, depending on the application. The auxiliary speaker—which
is powered by the primary speaker—can be either in the same room as
the Wahsega Surface Mount Wall Speaker or in a separate room.
In a single-room application, the Wahsega Analog Speaker (WL-SPKR-SMTA or WL-SPKR-22-A) acts as a companion to the primary speaker. This
auxiliary speaker’s volume can be adjusted independently, but it will
always broadcast the same audio as the main speaker. In this application,
only the primary speaker supports features such as door locks,
microphone, panic button and sound reinforcement.

In a two-room application, the Wahsega Second Room Speaker (WL-SPKRSMT-2R or WL-SPKR-22-2R) has its own SIP account and InformaCast
instance, enabling it to send and receive audio independent of the primary
speaker. While it receives its power and data from the primary speaker, it
functions separately—with the ability to control door locks, microphone,
panic button, and sound reinforcement on its own. To an end user, the
Second Room Speaker appears to be completely autonomous; it is simply
powered by the primary speaker.
Once your speaker is installed and configured, you will be able to receive
SIP calls and InformaCast broadcasts with no additional in-room setup.
Two-way communication is clear and simple with a built-in microphone
which transmits audio from the classroom to the caller.
If a panic button is connected to the speaker, it will make an emergency
call to a preset SIP number on the PBX. To reduce the incidence of false
panic calls, the panic button has two call modes: short press and long
press. The short press call—which is a call placed after the button is
depressed for any length of time less than two seconds—calls a first,
preconfigured number, such as a front office. The long press call—a call
placed after the button is depressed for two or more seconds—calls a
second, preconfigured emergency number, such as 911.
If the installation includes a sound reinforcement wall panel, the panel will
have an audio input, volume control, activate button and LED indicator
light.

Software Capabilities
The speaker’s configuration is accessible using an HTTP Web interface,
viewable from any Web browser on the same LAN. This allows access to
various settings such as network/IP address, SIP account and InformaCast
instance configuration, intercom/speaker behavior, panic button call
numbers, and administrative functions such as firmware upgrade and
configuration backup/restore. The configuration is stored in a .JSON file,
which is human readable and can be edited by site administrators.
