The MS-1e is a networked messaging processor that supports many global paging functions in a Vocia® system, including message playback, event scheduling, VoIP paging interface, email reporting, logging, and remote access. The MS-1e acts as a central repository for the system configuration in addition to the locally-stored device files and enables plug and play device configuration and replacement. The MS-1e uses Ethernet-based control protocols in conjunction with CobraNet® to function within a Vocia system. In addition, the MS-1e supports inter-world paging and communications via TCP/IP.
