The WR-1 is a networked wall remote for use in a Vocia® system. It is designed to control background audio in user-configured music zones. The WR-1 utilizes Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. Once it is configured with Vocia software, the WR-1 requires nothing more than an Ethernet cable wired to a PoE-compliant network switch. The WR-1 allows the user to choose background music sources, inhibit pages and mute sources from an attractive wall-mounted panel. A backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) facilitates navigation through the WR-1 menu. The WR-1 is aesthetically pleasing.
