|description=The telecommunication system can look overly complicated, and it is.

Located near the bridge in the centre of the station, this area houses the many complex servers and equipment needed to allow radio headset communication. Requires Telecommunications access to enter and accessible via Central Primary Hallway.

 

==Control Room==

This room is where the [[Network Admin]] will spend most of their shift. The room contains a [[File:Telecom server monitor.gif]] [[Computers#Telecommunications_Server_Monitoring_Console.2FMessaging_Monitor_Console|message monitoring console]], a [[File:Telecom server monitor.gif]] [[Computers#Telecommunications_Server_Monitoring_Console.2FMessaging_Monitor_Console|server monitoring console]] and a [[File:Telecom traffic control.gif]] [[Computers#Telecommunications_Traffic_Control_Console|traffic control console]].

 

To the left of this room is a small break area. There is a [[SigDrobe|NetDrobe]] in the south-west corner with some spare clothing for the signal technician, a microwave and donk pockets for when they get hungry, and a shot glass with a full vodka bottle for those long shifts.

 

===[[File:Aas_on.gif]] Automated Arrivals Announcement System===

This system announces the name and rank of a new crew member over the common channel when they join. If a head of staff joins late, it will announce the new arrival on the departmental radio channel as well.

 

 

This console logs the PDA messages that go through the server. This requires a decryption key that starts in the [[Chief Engineer]]'s office.

A new feature of the message console is the added ability to send admin messages, you can of course change the name of the sender to anyone you like. For example, you could impersonate the Captain and order energy guns for the Science department to "research". Be careful though, if the Quartermaster replies his message will go to the Captain.

 

This room is where spare parts are kept in case some [[Nuclear Operative|pranksters]] decide to dismantle the telecommunications equipment in the server room. Both stock parts (eg. subspace ansibles and capacitors) and machine boards (eg. telecommunications server board and hub mainframe board) are kept here. There is also a pipe dispenser in this room.

 

 

The server room is where the equipment responsible for keeping telecoms functioning is held. The equipment in this room runs in a super-cooled environment to avoid overheating. Entering this room without the proper protective equipment can be fatal. There are shutters to see out (or in) to the server room, located next to the [[Bridge]].

  |exits=North to [[Bridge]], south to Command Hallway

Located in the center of the station, this area houses the many complex servers and equipment needed to allow radio headset communication. Requires Telecommunications access to enter and accessible via the [[Bridge]] or the command hallway.

===Message Monitor Console===

This console logs the PDA messages that go through the server. This requires a decryption key that starts on top of this console. A traitor AI can also acquire this key by bruteforcing it, it will take 10 seconds for every character the decryption key has, so don't let a human catch you doing this. In turn you can keep the key secret by changing the key to something no one will figure out, meaning you will have the message logs all to yourself.

For example, you could impersonate the Captain and order energy guns for the Science department to "research". Be careful though, if the Quartermaster replies his message will go to the Captain.
