Integrated Public Address System for Asterisk.
Rapid PA is an add-on for Astribank™ that interfaces with any Astribank FXS
port to provide public address functionality via Astribank. The small
stand-alone unit is activated by simply dialing the port’s extension number.
Each Rapid PA unit is equipped with 2 RJ11 ports. The ‘PBX’ port connects
directly to an Astribank FXS port and the ‘PA’ connection connects to the PA
‘line in’ (‘audio in’) port. The PA device itself can be anything from a
standard personal computer speaker with an internal amplifier to an
industrial-strength amplifying system.
Rapid PA does not need a power supply - it uses the Astribank FXS feed for
its operation. A LED (Light Emitting Diode) indicates "line active" status,
simplifying installation and testing. When a call is placed to the FXS port
extension to which the Rapid PA is connected, the Rapid PA immediately "answers
the call" (i.e., goes to "off hook" position) and the caller can place his/her
call through the IP system. The origin of the PA message in not important; it
can be an analog phone, an IP phone, a call from an incoming line or even from a
soft phone overseas. The PA system is automatically disconnected when the call
terminates.
The small size and simple installation of the Rapid PA unit make it easy to
install multiple local PA amplifiers in different locations. Even a low cost PX
loudspeaker (with built-in amplifier) can be used as a small PA system.
Multiple Rapid PA devices can be connected to multiple FXS ports and
loudspeakers to provide multi-zone support.
