60 PC Call Station Client
60.1 Introduction
With the PC Call Station Client, you can connect to the
PC Call Server (see chapter 58) and start calls or control
the background music (BGM). The PC Call Station Client
acts as an operator panel on a PC, similar to a normal
call station. It offers some functions that are not
available on normal call stations, such as:
• The possibility to make calls to zones in different
subsystems, each having its own network controller.
• Easy control of multiple simultaneous calls (without
live speech).
• Accurate information about the status of the zones.
• Easy localization of zones on the screen using a
graphical background with multiple tabs.
• Accurate information about the BGM channel and
volume setting of BGM in each zone.
60.2 Requirements
The PC Call Station Client can run on any PC that meets
the following minimum requirements:
• Operating system:
Microsoft® Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or
Microsoft® Windows Vista or
Microsoft® Windows 7
• Network connection: 100 base-T
• 1 GB RAM

Configuration Client (see section 59.3).
It is possible to install and use multiple PC Call Station
Clients on different PCs simultaneously, all network
