The VECTUS Network Station may be located remotely away from the control room such as at the foyer or reception counter for paging and announcements. Multiple Network Stations can be set up anywhere in the building as long as there is a network connection. Multiple user login provides individual authorisation access level and priority setting to manage paging selection collision.

The use of standard ethernet protocol enables the use of widely available ethernet switches to provide the required nodes that connects all the network equipment to the system. The number of nodes are easily expandable by cascading multiple switch units together. Maximum cable distance from a switch port to another is 100 m. The use of fibre optic allows for longer cabling distance exceeding 100m.

The power amplifiers work with the VECTUS Network Audio Extract. The module extracts the digital audio stream addressed to the unit and converts it back to analog for the amplifier to drive the loudspeakers.

The rest of the power amplifiers are all similarly connected and expanded via the network switches and ports within the floors, as long as the distance between switch-to-switch or switch-to-device is not more than 100 m. This significantly reduces the cabling cost in two ways - (i) Less cable used as a single cable carries multichannel audio and data and (ii) Cheaper Cable Cost as the signal is transmitted in low level, thus does not require heavy gauge cables and the use of commonly and economically available standard Cat 5e cable.

For remote paging requirements, the VECTUS Network Station can be installed on any existing office PC and connected to the nearest node of the network, thus reducing cabling cost compared to a conventional system where the audio and data cables are run back to the control room.

The VECTUS Network Paging Console connects directly to the network via an Ethernet switch at the Control Room. It can also be connected anywhere in the network system without additional cabling, similarly to how a PC connects to the office computer network. The audio and zone selection data is digitally transmitted over a single network cable (Cat 5e), as illustrated by the BLUE line (Network Transmission).

If conventional source equipment such as the Digital Source Player, Cassette Player, CD Player or Tuner is to be made available for use, the VECTUS Network Audio Insert Unit converts analog audio signal input (as illustrated by the RED line) into digital audio stream for insertion into the network.

A Windows based PC is required for the installation of the VECTUS Network System Manager for system initialisation and configuration. A user-friendly GUI with interactive Configuration Wizard guides any first-time user to configure the system with ease. The program provides time scheduling, database management, system monitoring, fault reporting and event logging. Network Stations are able to be connected to the Network System Manager for control and monitoring purpose. Password protection allows access only by authorised personnel and access level according to their authority.
