Purpose of This Manual
This manual is intended to familiarize you with the operation of the MicroComm DXL IMS-640/641 VoIP
Intercom Master Station. The IMS-640/641 is a telephone style intercom station that uses Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP). The IMS-640/641 connects to an exchange via the inter-exchange Network (an Ethernet
network).
The menus are similar to those used by the IMS-440 series of intercom master stations. You should easily master
the operation of the IMS-640/641 if you are already familiar with the operation of the IMS-440.
