Abstract
An intercom system is provided having a plurality of intercom stations coupled to a digital network, each station transmitting intercom data onto a channel of the network. Each station receives intercom data from each other station and selects channels to be amplified and output to a speaker. Each station may listen to and talk to any other station or any selected group of stations. Processing of signals from the network is performed in each station, thereby eliminating the need for a centralized mixing and switching device. Stations may be added merely by connecting them to the network. The intercom system may be configured in a non-blocking mode or in a blocking mode.
