First Claim
1. An emergency call system comprising:
- a data bus;
a bus controller operatively connected to said data bus for controlling data access on the data bus and at least one of;
a wireless device module operatively connected to said data bus for receiving and passing alarm signals onto the data bus from a premises based wireless subsystem having at least one wireless receiver operatively connected to said wireless device module that receives wireless alarm signals from wireless devices;
a direct connect module operatively connected to said data bus for receiving and passing alarm signals onto the data bus from a premises based direct connect subsystem having wired stations and/or sensors wired to said direct connect module, said wired stations and/or sensors generating alarm signals thereto; and
a telephone module operatively connected to said data bus and a telephone network for receiving and passing alarm signals onto said data bus and/or to a wireless staff phone from a premises based telephone that is operatively connected to said telephone network such as to forward alarm signals from said telephone through said telephone network and to said telephone module.

Abstract
An emergency call system includes a data bus and bus controller operatively connected to the data bus for controlling data access on the data bus. The system can include at least one of wireless, direct connect and telephone subsystems. A wireless device module could be operatively connected to the data bus for receiving and passing alarm signals onto the data bus from a premises based wireless subsystem having at least one wireless receiver that receives wireless alarm signals from wireless pendants and other devices. The system could also include a direct connect module that receives and passes alarm signals onto the data bus from a premises based direct connect subsystem having wired stations and/or sensors. A telephone module could be operatively connected to the data bus for receiving alarm signals from a telephone of a residence through the telephone network and to the telephone module.
