In the Classroom

Gives Teachers the tools to communicate everyday and during emergencies:

• Hands-free intercom lets teachers respond to administrative staff from anywhere in the classroom minimizing any disruption to the class in progress.
• Paging and intercom priority guarantees that paging, tones, and intercom to the classroom automatically take priority over classroom sound reinforcement systems. TelecenterVoIP automatically mutes the classroom audio to ensure paging announcements, tones, and intercom are always heard the first time.
• One touch call-in means there are no numbers to dial or redial to get assistance. Your faculty can resume instruction or respond to an emergency.

In the Front Office

Streamline communications, prioritize emergency calls and minimize front office "traffic jams:"

• One-touch intercom communication with classrooms eliminates waiting for a ringing phone to be answered.
• Administrative phones visually display important call information, including calling rooms, number, name and call priority. It's like "caller ID" for intercom.
• Automatic routing allows administrators to be mobile while staying connected. Calls can automatically route to wireless phones or cell phones carried by administrative staff.

Call-ins

Sometimes they're routine. Sometimes they're much more - a classroom emergency or injured student... Sometimes they come during school hours. Sometimes not; your facility is in use at all hours and on the weekends.

No second thoughts - flexibility and automatic call routing - Telecenter ICS finds help or assistance for you. You don't need busy signals or complicated dialing codes. You do need to know your call will always be answered as quickly as possible.

• Multiple call levels: (Normal, Emergency, etc.) and the ability to upgrade on the fly. At the classroom, the teacher can determine what type of assistance they need and place the appropriate level of call.
• Call priority sorting and stacking: At the front office or wherever calls are answered, calls display by the type of call and time of placement. The oldest calls and emergency calls are always displayed and answered first.
• Automatic call forwarding: If the secretary has stepped away from her desk or is already on the phone, Telecenter ICS automatically forwards your call to the next person who can assist.
• Visual and audible identification: Calls from classrooms and other areas display their location information on strategically positioned displays and/or sound call reminder tones over selected speakers.
• Announce calls: TelecenterICS can announce the room number and call priority over designated speaker(s) in your facility: "emergency call room two, three, three."
• After hours call routing: When no one is in the office to answer calls after regular school hours, Telecenter ICS can automatically pick up an outside telephone line and route calls to any telephone, including an off-site security office.

Paging

Life at school... It's full of announcements: sometimes everyone needs to hear. Other times, only select groups.

• Direct pages to all or select speakers: Corridors, gyms, playgrounds, 1st floor classrooms; up to sixteen unique groups of speakers.
• Page from anywhere: Paging via designated office phones, a centrally located microphone, or any classroom telephone with the use of a PIN number.
• One touch microphone emergency or all page: No second guessing in an emergency; press one button and you have paging throughout the entire school.

Intercom

It's still the most efficient way to reach out to the teacher. With Telecenter ICS, intercom functions are hands-free from anywhere within the classroom - a nearly transparent way for front office personnel to communicate with the classroom teacher.

• Strategically mounted (Wall or ceiling) intercom/paging speakers.
• Hands-free: No need to disrupt class to walk to a phone - simply respond from anywhere within the classroom.
• Always clear communication: A large 8" high power speaker/ microphone covers the whole classroom, unlike a speakerphone that requires you to be within several feet of the speakerphone to communicate.
• Telephone or switch panel control: Some people like to use their telephones for all school communication, while others prefer a more traditional switch panel for intercom and paging. Telecenter ICS gives you both options.

Music & Program Distribution

The "Star Spangled Banner" in all classrooms. The school anthem during class changes. It's music you want from any source - radio, CD and cassette tapes.

• Automatic or manual music & program delivery to all or select speakers.
• Distribute music on the fly: Simply cue up your music and then tell Telecenter ICS where to send it.
• Dial-up or switch panel: Some people like to use their telephones to instruct Telecenter ICS where to send music, while other people like a more traditional switch panel. Telecenter ICS gives you both options.
• Compatibility with any common music source (radios, CD players, tape players).
