IP ANALOG CLOCK / SPEAKER WALL MOUNT
INTRODUCTION
The VIP-4171-A12-IC InformaCast Compliant IP
Clock with Speaker includes a 12” Analog Clock
and a Wall Mount Speaker. The wall speaker is an
8” interior talkback speaker. This provides
synchronized time, talkback intercom and
loudspeaker paging from one IP network
connection. The 12” Analog Clock will sync its time
with the InformaCast Server. The speaker
enclosure is made of steel with a durable powder
