Three-Way Intercom

In LearningSpace NextGen Room View, preset or live Intercom announcements can be sent to three different targets, also called Intercom endpoints: In-Room, Hallway (or both), and Simulator.

Announcements can be sent to the

• In-Room station or a Separate In-Room Intercom device (speaker)

• Hallway station or  a Separate Hallway Intercom device (speaker)

• simulator's head ("Voice of Patient")
