Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Telecom(munications) / Emergency call system

Portuguese term or phrase: quadro de alvos

Under the heading: Emergency Call System in a list of communications specifications. I know what it IS, but cannot find an English term for it - a panel which lights up with the number of the room/extension to show who is calling (wealthy people used to use them to call their servants in a big house!!) .
I'm thinking 'Emergency Call Panel', but either way, it would be useful to get this into the glossary, so any suggestions are gratefully received.

Thanks.
