Vocia POTS-1-4 Vocia POTS Interface

Real-Time Paging Interface for POTS Telephone Systems
The Vocia POTS-1-4 is a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) interface designed to enable real-time, live paging from a POTS system directly into the Vocia platform. With support for up to four POTS lines, this interface seamlessly bridges legacy telephone systems with modern networked paging environments. Whether used for routine announcements or emergency paging, the POTS-1-4 ensures reliable and efficient voice communication across a facility.

Seamless Integration with POTS-Based PBX Systems
The POTS-1-4 allows a direct connection to traditional POTS lines or POTS-based PBX telephone systems, enabling users to initiate pages effortlessly. By interfacing with any Vocia Page Code, the system provides dynamic zone selection, status indications, and live message delivery. This functionality makes it an ideal solution for integrating telephone paging into hospitals, corporate offices, transportation hubs, and public facilities.

Advanced Paging Functions for Optimized Communication
Equipped with software-configurable voice prompts, the POTS-1-4 streamlines the paging process with features like Page Code selection, zone status indication, and "Page Now" alerts. The system also supports DTMF tone sequences, which can be programmed to trigger Vocia Control Input events. These capabilities allow users to customize paging operations to meet specific facility needs, ensuring smooth and effective message delivery.

Store-and-Forward and Emergency Paging Capabilities
For enhanced reliability, the POTS-1-4 includes Store-and-Forward queuing, allowing messages to be stacked and played in sequence if a paging zone is currently in use. When integrated with a Vocia Life Safety Interface (LSI-16 or LSI-16e), the device also supports emergency paging, ensuring that critical messages are prioritized and delivered without interruption. This makes it a vital component for life safety and emergency communication systems.

Redundant Power Inputs and Networked CobraNet Connectivity
Designed for continuous operation, the POTS-1-4 is powered via dual 24V DC inputs, providing redundant power supply protection. It also features CobraNet® control over a single Ethernet cable, with dual CobraNet ports for network redundancy. These features enhance reliability, ensuring uninterrupted paging functionality even in high-availability environments.

Rack-Mountable Design for Easy Installation
Housed in a 1RU rack-mountable chassis, the POTS-1-4 is built for simple deployment in AV and communication racks. Rotary switches enable easy device identification and configuration, while its IP30-compliant design meets industry standards for professional-grade installations. With CE marking and RoHS compliance, it adheres to global safety and environmental regulations.

TAA Compliance for Government and Enterprise Applications
The Vocia POTS-1-4 meets U.S. Trade Agreement Act (TAA) compliance requirements, making it eligible for federal procurement and government contracts. Its robust feature set, high reliability, and seamless integration capabilities make it an essential addition to enterprise paging and emergency communication systems.
