Telex Launches Ethernet Adapter Panel

Telex has announced the launch of the IP-224, the new Ethernet adapter panel which will form the heart of the Telex dispatch system.
This addition to its dispatch line will ensure Telex remains the industry’s most reliable, scalable, and flexible family of products for coordinating critical communications.
Like the IP-223, the IP-224 allows the interfacing of multiple radios, satellite and cellular devices, intercoms, mass notification systems, and existing dispatch consoles and security equipment. The optional C-Soft software platform allows users to get the most out of the IP-224, enabling complete, customized, cross-platform ROIP/VOIP (Radio over IP/ Voice over IP) communications connectivity and control from a single position, all via Ethernet.
The IP-224’s sleek new design combines compact form with comprehensive functionality, allowing easy installation, operation, and servicing. The unit may be rack-mounted or placed directly on a desktop, and is equipped with an LCD display to clearly provide user feedback when programming.
VU meters are also provided via the display for alignment purposes. All other configurations are completed in the web browser configuration windows. The IP-224 performs a wide variety of other tasks related to using radios on a digital network, including state-of-the-art system diagnostics, and integrates seamlessly with Telex’s full range of peripheral dispatch equipment.
