Answer And Control Your Door Virtually Anywhere - C-500 By Viking Electronics
Telecom Reseller 5
The C-500 advanced entry phone controller allows single line telephones or a telephone system to share a phone line with two Viking entry phones.
This powerful controller provides call forwarding, relay control, keyless entry and more.
“It’s a feature rich access controller in
a very small package.” – Joanne Minke, Product Specialist, Viking Electronics, Inc.
Up to four C-500’s can also be connected in series allowing control of
up to eight entry points. Tenants may answer an entry phone call, converse with the visitor and let them in with a touch tone command which activates a relay to control a gate or door strike.
User programmable entry phone “Caller ID” is provided to the local phones. A built-in five number dialer can call an outside line if there is no answer on the local phone. If the outside call is busy or ring no answer, the C-500 can call up to
four more numbers. Tenants may also call the entry phones for monitoring purposes or enter touch tone commands to activate, deactivate or toggle the relay contacts.
The C-500 allows up to 6 permanent keyless entry codes, 2 “one time use” entry codes and 1 toggle entry code for each door. The C-500 provides optional entry phone distinctive ring, two trigger inputs for “Request to Exit” and field programmable Caller ID or beep tones when answered to indicate which door is activated.

There is no question that mobile usage has
greatly influenced how we interact with one another and how we consume content. U.S. consumers now are spending up to five hours a day on their smartphones. If your legacy learning management system (LMS) is not conducive to
a mobile or real-time collaborative experience, you’re bringing friction to your training and learning initiatives and (potentially) negatively impacting your outcomes.
Traditional learning solutions that have not bothered to introduce sensibilities from today’s consumer social app experiences stand to alienate the very customers they aim to serve. Deloitte has reported in its 2017 Global Human Capital Trends Report that 90 percent of companies
are redesigning their organizations to be more dynamic, team centric, and connected. Yet most organizations continue to utilize siloed learning platforms that do little to foster collaboration or to unlock knowledge sharing. As organizations take inventory, they’ll soon begin to shift their tactics and tools, to be more aligned with their organizational strategy.
Mobile has not only affected how we interact and consume media; it also has influenced
what we come to expect from a good user experience. Mobile design usually is minimal and highly intuitive, whereas many legacy learning management solutions still look and feel like 1990s CD-ROM experiences (i.e., not intuitive, bloated).
The shift toward training and learning on mobile with integrated UCaaS experiences (e.g., real-time chat & video) is a natural evolution of current training methods—from in-person to
continued from page 1
online classes, social feeds, and more—to ensure employees are empowered and equipped to more effectively do their jobs. Here are some tips on how to empower your teams with the latest information:
Reassess your policies and technologies. It
is essential to review how you can empower employees via mobile rather than restricting them.
Optimize your content and information for mobile. Make sure it’s short, sweet, and to the point, and be careful not to drag out your points.
Be bold, experiment, and explore. There are so many different resources and technologies out there to embrace—mobile is a channel that provides instant access anywhere. If you’re not currently embracing mobile, you’re already behind.
IMMEDIATE ACCESS
Mobile experiences are about being easy to
use, being able to quickly access information, retaining that information, and fostering real-time collaboration or knowledge exchanges. Mobile is not necessarily about solving or working toward annual or quarterly goals (though it can), but rather about access to real-time knowledge; dynamically solving problems; having information at your fingertips and on demand; and producing outcomes daily, by the hour, by the minute.
This is the way today’s world works. Customers, and the world, do not have time for your employees to fire up an antiquated terminal, sit through a two-hour video, and then get back to work or solve real-time problems. If that’s your strategy, you’re already behind your competitors. Now’s the time to move ahead. n
