INCC
Intelligent Network Command Center
Description
The INCC Intelligent Network Command Center is a
component of the E3 Series™ Expandable Emergency
Evacuation and E3 Series™ Broadband Audio Evacua-
tion System. The INCC Command Center serves as the
point of interface between an operator and the system’s
audio evacuation, fire fighter intercom, and building con-
trol circuits. The INCC occupies a single node along the
E3 Broadband network and is connected by a single pair
of twisted, unshielded wire, fiber-optic cable or any
combination of the two. Each E3 Broadband node can be
spaced along the network a maximum distance of 3,000
feet (914.4 m) or up to an 8dB loss using fiber-optic
cable. Built-in isolation at each node permits Style 4,
Style 6, and Style 7 network configurations.
The E3 Broadband Audio Evacuation System is a peer-
to-peer, self-regenerating, token ring network comprised
of up to sixty-four (64), individual nodes. E3 Broadband
employs proven technology and extends it to accomplish
emergency voice evacuation, 2-way Fire Fighter
communications, and building control applications. It is
unique in the industry in requiring only a single pair of
wires or a fiber-optic cable connection between nodes to
convey all fire alarm, digital voice, fire fighter
communications, paging, and building control signals.
A typical INCC assembly consists of an Intelligent
Network Interface-Voice Gateway (INI-VGC) Module and
one or more Addressable Switch Modules (ASM-16).
INI-VGC. The INCC Command Center’s INI-VGC module
also provides connections for an optional emergency
voice page microphone as well as a Fire Fighter tele-
phone handset.
The INI-VGC is a fully digital voice/tone generator using
state-of-the-art Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
technology to produce the clearest, most audible signal
possible. The INI-VGC provides an output to a local
speaker for message verification and testing. It is ideal
for a wide range of complex System Applications
including high-rise or campus installations.
