Which statement accurately describes how RTS key panels connect in the system?

• A. They connect via Ethernet
• B. They connect via USB
• C. They connect wirelessly via Wi-Fi
• D. They have no network connection

Answer: (A)

RTS key panels are designed to be part of a networked intercom system, so they connect through a wired Ethernet network. This wired connection lets many panels communicate with a central matrix and with each other with predictable latency and reliable signaling for talk and listen paths. USB is only for local connections to a single device and doesn’t scale to linking multiple panels. Wireless options exist in some setups, but they’re not standard for critical intercom work because wireless can introduce variable latency and interference. A panel with no network connection would be isolated and unable to participate in the system.
