An ELAN Communication Controller changes the
way people live. It not only opens new avenues of
in-home communications, but delivers a new level
of convenience, comfort and security that your cli-
ents will relish. More than music, more than video,
more than almost any other whole-house electron-
ics feature – ELAN telecommunication functions
are the most-used feature in the home.
With the C2 Communication Controller your clients
can use any corded or cordless touchtone phone
to:
• Page throughout the house over the
multi-room system’s speakers
• Converse phone-to-phone with other
household members
• Speak with visitors at any door
• Activate door latches to let visitors in
• Place callers on hold
• Mute or un-mute music
• Control relay-activated devices such
as garage doors or lighting
• Select from 10 whole-house digital
door chimes and more
Initiating ELAN telecom features is easy and intui-
tive. Use the or key to initiate a feature
– then follow it with a “P” for Page, “D” for Door,
“H” for Hold or “M” for Mute. If there’s more than
one door station in the system, D1 thru D4 connect
you to each door station independently. You can
even program a phone’s speed dial numbers for
one-button access to any C2 feature.
Transform any multi-room audio system into a
multi-line communications network that seamlessly
integrates intercom, telephone and automation
features to create an environment of easy in-home
communications.
The C2 is the ultimate easy add-on to, or closer
for, an ELAN Multi-Room System!
