Incorporate your legacy paging system through Singlewire’s Legacy Paging Interface

Singlewire’s Legacy Paging Interface (LPI) allows you to incorporate your existing, analog paging system with our InformaCast^® application:

• Create live, ad-hoc, or pre-recorded audio and/or text broadcasts
• Play those broadcasts over speakers and IP phones
• Filter access to message types and recipient groups by user
• Schedule messages to be sent at a preset time or on a recurring basis
• Administer broadcasts from a secure web interface or IP phone
• Broadcast multiple messages simultaneously to different paging groups

You save money and time by leaving your existing paging system in place, and you gain functionality and versatility in your paging abilities.

The LPI works as a liaison between your existing paging system and our InformaCast solution. When you configure your speakers with the LPI, they can be integrated with InformaCast, and you can add them to recipient groups, create paging zones modeled after your existing zones, and send audio broadcasts out to any combination of speakers/zones.

With the LPI, you create a definition of your existing paging system, which is stored in the LPI’s database. Each definition may have one or more paging zones (i.e. group of speakers) associated with it, and each paging zone can be accessed via a single or multiple dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) tones.

Once your definition is complete, the LPI creates a software “model” of your speaker for each defined paging zone and assigns to it a specified MAC address within the LPI. The speakers register with the InformaCast server and play the broadcasts it sends out.

Because the LPI allows you to incorporate your external paging system with InformaCast, you save time and money by continuing to invest in your existing architecture. Since you are able to use the existing zones you have already configured for your organization, you cut down on confusion and effort in creating new zones. By incorporating InformaCast into your organization, you gain the increased functionality of either application, giving you more flexibility in your paging options and control over your paging environment.
