2N 01354-001 IP Safety 2-Button Intercom Station
The 2N 01354-001 is a dedicated IP intercom station purpose-built for emergency communication and safety-critical announcements in industrial, warehouse, and facility environments. It eliminates dependence on analog wiring by delivering audio over your standard Ethernet backbone, reducing infrastructure complexity and maintenance burden. The two programmable buttons let you define call routing and alert functions specific to your facility's emergency protocols.
Key Features
- Two Programmable Buttons: Assign each button to distinct emergency contacts, zones, or alert routines—no hardware reprogramming needed once deployed. Reduces response time by eliminating menu navigation during critical events.
- 10W Integrated Speaker: Delivers high-volume audio output (90+ dB SPL typical) sufficient for warehouse floors, manufacturing areas, and outdoor courtyards. A 10W speaker ensures announcements cut through ambient noise without requiring additional external amplifiers.
- H.264 Audio Compression: Reduces bandwidth consumption on your network compared to uncompressed audio streams, allowing you to deploy multiple intercom stations without saturating your Ethernet links—critical in facilities with bandwidth constraints or legacy network infrastructure.
- IP-Based Architecture: Connects directly to your Ethernet network via standard RJ-45, eliminating the cost and labor of running separate analog phone or audio cabling. Simplifies future relocation or reconfiguration.
- Two-Way Audio Communication: Enables real-time voice dialogue between the intercom station and centralized dispatch, emergency response teams, or facility management—essential for confirming alerts and coordinating response actions.
- Orange Enclosure for High Visibility: The distinctive orange finish ensures the intercom station is immediately identifiable in safety-critical zones, aiding emergency personnel in locating communication points under stress or low-light conditions.
Integration & Compatibility
The 01354-001 integrates with IP phone and intercom systems built on SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) architecture and IP-PBX platforms. It operates as a networked endpoint, requiring only Ethernet connectivity and configuration within your existing VoIP infrastructure. Audio flows over your corporate network infrastructure, so it can be managed and monitored alongside other IP devices. Consult your IP-PBX administrator or system integrator to confirm SIP compatibility and to define button programming and call routing before deployment.
Deployment Context
Deploy the 2N 01354-001 in manufacturing plants, logistics warehouses, data centers, emergency operations centers, and multi-building corporate campuses where reliable audio communication is non-negotiable. The combination of high-output audio and programmable buttons makes it equally suitable for emergency-only use (panic button mode) or continuous facility announcements. Orange visibility and IP connectivity make it practical for both indoor installation and semi-protected outdoor mounting (confirm IP rating and environmental limits with the datasheet before outdoor deployment).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What network infrastructure does the 2N 01354-001 require?
A: Standard Ethernet (RJ-45) connectivity to any network switch with available PoE or standard IP-PBX support. No dedicated wiring, no analog phone lines.
Q: Can I reprogram the two buttons after installation?
A: Yes. Button assignments are configured through your IP-PBX system and can be changed remotely without physical access to the device.
Q: Is the 01354-001 suitable for outdoor use?
A: Confirm with your datasheet or system integrator. The orange enclosure is designed for visibility, but environmental rating (IP rating) and temperature limits determine suitability for outdoor mounting or semi-protected installation.
Q: What audio codecs does the 01354-001 support?
A: H.264 audio compression. Verify codec support with your SIP-PBX system to ensure compatibility.
Q: How loud is the 10W speaker?
A: Typical output is 90+ dB SPL, sufficient for warehouse and manufacturing environments with moderate ambient noise.
Q: Can multiple 2N 01354-001 stations communicate with each other?
A: Yes, when configured within the same SIP-PBX infrastructure. Button presses can route to any networked extension, including other intercom stations.

The 2N 01354-001 is a straightforward addition to any SIP-based emergency communication network. Unlike multi-button panels or touch-screen stations, this device strips complexity down to two buttons and one speaker—exactly what you need in a manufacturing floor or warehouse where you want staff to trigger alarms or call dispatch with a single finger press. The H.264 compression on the audio channel is a practical detail: it cuts your bandwidth footprint versus raw audio, which matters if you're deploying five or ten of these across a facility and don't want to burn up available network capacity.
Technical Highlights:
- 10W Speaker Output: Delivers 90+ dB SPL typical—loud enough to cut through forklift noise and conveyor machinery without requiring separate amplified speakers. This is meaningful in high-noise facilities where a standard 2W indoor speaker would be inaudible.
- H.264 Audio Compression: Reduces per-stream bandwidth by roughly 60–80% compared to PCM audio, allowing you to cluster multiple intercom stations on a single switch without QoS headaches or network degradation.
- Dual Programmable Buttons: No menu-diving during panic scenarios. Assign one button to all-facility alert, the other to dispatch. Configuration happens in your PBX—no field reprogramming required once wired.
Deployment Considerations:
- The 01354-001 requires SIP-PBX infrastructure (IP-PBX or soft-switch). If you're running legacy analog phone systems, this device won't integrate without a media gateway or PBX upgrade.
- Verify audio codec negotiation with your VoIP system before purchase. H.264 audio compression is not universal across all IP phone platforms—confirm your PBX or VMS supports it, or you may fall back to G.711 or G.722 and lose the bandwidth savings.
- Orange enclosure is designed for high-visibility identification, but confirm environmental rating (IP rating and operating temperature range) before mounting in outdoor or semi-protected areas. Temperature swings and moisture ingress can degrade speaker performance and electronics lifespan.
Position the 01354-001 in facilities running modern SIP-PBX systems where two-button simplicity and high-output audio are requirements—manufacturing plants, warehouse emergency zones, and data-center emergency stations where complexity is a liability and directness wins.
