Application integration
With a KIRK DECT solution it is possible to make applications which send
text messages to any messaging compatible KIRK DECT handsets. This makes
it possible to create solutions with specific functionality targeting specific
verticals.
Examples on such vertical applications are:
• Integration to nurse call systems
• Fire alert broadcast to all handsets
• Technical info send as notification
• Escalated alarms which require acknowledge.
KWS6000 offers 3 different ways to implement messaging functionality to the
KIRK DECT handsets.
1. SIP Messaging: One way notifications only
2. KIRK MSF: Previous generation API for backward comp ability
3. XML-RPX: SDK for messaging and extended use of the DECT
solution.
Different Types of Messages
It is possible to send text messages from handset to handset, from handset to
server and from server to handset. Each message can consist of up to 72
characters. A handset can receive a text message whether it is on or off hook.
Reception of a text message is signaled by a beep tone.
With messaging it is possible to send two different types of messages:
• On Way Text
A message which not requires an answer from the recipient.
Examples of One Way Texts include reminders; updates and basic
notifications such as “Remember the meeting at 3 PM”.
One Way Text is also called Fire and Forget.
