Basic housing with five plug-in slots for up to 20 analogue subscribers.
One AF input (for music or alarm), two inputs for floating contacts, two relay
outputs, RS-232 and IP interface for (remote) configuration or maintenance.
The preinstalled Intercom Server software enables the playback of pre-recorded
audio as well as the indication of the current time and date.

G15-GET-4B
DSP subscriber card for connection of up to four 4-wire analogue subscribers
with feature level “B”. Up to five G15-GET-B cards can be used with a GE 150
Intercom Server. Every single card provides an audio bandwidth of 16 kHz and
enables OpenDuplex® conversations in 7 kHz.

G15-TEL
Multi-functional telephone interface for connecting the Intercom system to an
analogue subscriber of a telephone system or directly to a standard telephone
line. Telephone mode for direct dialling of the desired telephone number from an
Intercom station. Auto-dialler mode with automatic dialling of freely configurable
dialling sequences initiated by calls or call requests. Freely configurable speech
storage for acoustic identification and messages (e.g. waiting information) in
auto-dialler mode. DTMF telephones can operate functions in the Intercom
system (e.g. once a call has been received on a remote telephone, all “after dial”
functions are available).

G15-8E8A
Plug-in card with eight inputs for floating contacts and eight relay outputs (nor-
mally open, normally closed or switch-over). Detection of five operation states
