== Messages from ICX-AlphaCom to AEOS ==
 
 
=== Login ===
 
To establish a connection to the Socket interface in AEOS, the ICX-AlphaCom must log in to AEOS. In the Event handler an event needs to be created that will be used to log in.
 
 
The following commands are sent to AEOS.
 
 
'''String:'''
 
''EDO 1 "<span style="color:#0000FF">login</span>(<span style="color:#008000">socketuser</span>,<span style="color:#FF0000">socketpw</span>)\x3B\r\n"''
 
* <span style="color:#0000FF">Login</span>    =login command
 
* <span style="color:#008000">Socketuser</span>    =user name
 
* <span style="color:#FF0000">Socketpw</span>    =user password
 
 
'''String:'''
 
''EDO 1 "<span style="color:#00BFFF">setRmiCommandConnection</span>(true)\x3B\r\n"''
 
*<span style="color:#0000FF">setRmiCommandConnection </span>= enable sending commands towards the socket interface
 
 
'''String:'''
 
''EDO 1 "<span style="color:#00BFFF">setRmiEventConnection(true)</span>\x3B\r\n"''
 
*<span style="color:#0000FF">setRmiEventConnection(true) </span>"= activate receiving events from the socket interface
 
 
=== Door control ===
 
During a call, a master station can activate door control by pressing the 6 during the call. The command below is sent by the ICX-AlphaCom to the socket interface of AEOS for door control:
 
 
'''String:'''
 
''EDO 1 "executeArgs(provideAccess\,[]\,\"<span style="color:#00BFFF">aepu1</span>:<span style="color:#008000">frontdoor</span>\")\x3B\n\r" ''
 
*<span style="color:#0000FF">Aepu1</span> = name of the Aepu (“Hostname” in AEOS)
 
*<span style="color:#008000">frontdoor</span> = service name of the door in the Aepu (“Access Point” in AEOS)
 
 
== Messages from AEOS to ICX-AlphaCom ==
 
 
When a badge is denied or allowed, one or more actions can be performed by means of the link, such as a call to reception when a badge is expired. Or a welcome message when access is granted. The connection from AEOS is also checked for a heartbeat. When the heartbeat is lost, the ICX-AlphaCom will try to log on again once per minute.
 
 
=== Heartbeat ===
 
AEOS sends a heartbeat once a minute as a live check, see string below. The ICX-AlphaCom responds to "HB" in the string. If it is not received the ICX-AlphaCom will try again to log in to the socket interface of AEOS.
 
 
'''String:'''
 
 
Event:<span style="color:#0000FF">HB</span>|409||;
 
 
<span style="color:#0000FF">HB</span> = heartbeat
 
 
=== Action in ICX-AlphaCom after "Access granted"===
 
When access is granted after presenting a badge, a message can be sent from AEOS to which the ICX-AlphaCom can respond with an audio message or other action. The ICX-AlphaCom responds to the code 1015 (field 6) of the string. 1015 stands for "Authorized Badge Access" in AEOS.
 
 
'''String:'''
 
 
Event:GE|411|AEOS|210|nvc2522aepu1:<span style="color:#008000">voordeur</span>|<span style="color:#0000FF">1015</span>|20161108|104548|NedapXS Cards 9|Darthvader||0|| ;
 
* <span style="color:#008000">voordeur</span> = The service name of the door on Aepu1
 
* <span style="color:#0000FF">1015</span> = Access granted
 
 
=== Action in ICX-AlphaCom after "Badge unknown" ===
 
When an unauthorized access badge is presented, a message can be sent from AEOS to which the ICX-AlphaCom can respond with an audio message or other action. The ICX-AlphaCom responds to code 1015 (field 6) of the string.
 
1227 stands for "Badge unknown" in AEOS.
 
 
'''String:'''
 
 
Event:GE|411|AEOS|210|nvc2522aepu1:<span style="color:#008000">voordeur</span>|<span style="color:#0000FF">1227</span>|20161108|104548|NedapXS Cards 9|Darthvader||0|| ;
 
* <span style="color:#008000">voordeur</span> = The service name of the door on Aepu1
 
* <span style="color:#0000FF">1227</span> = Badge unknown
 
 
=== Action in ICX-AlphaCom after "Access Denied" ===
 
When access is denied after presenting an access badge, a message can be sent from AEOS to which the ICX-AlphaCom can respond with an audio message or other action. The ICX-AlphaCom responds to the code 1201 (field 6) of the string. 1201 stands for "BadgeNoAccessEvent" in AEOS.
 
 
'''String:'''
 
Event:GE|411|AEOS|210|nvc2522aepu1:<span style="color:#008000">voordeur</span>|<span style="color:#0000FF">1201</span>|20161108|104548|NedapXS Cards 9|Darthvader||0|| ;
 
 
* <span style="color:#008000">voordeur</span> = The service name of the door on Aepu1
 
* <span style="color:#0000FF">1201</span> = No Access

==== Door control to AEOS ====
 
The following event is used to control a door in AEOS.
 
* Owner Type: Station with door control
 
* Even type: 2 – Door opening
 
* Subevent: -
 
* When changed to: ON
 
 
In the action command, the AEOS controller and AccessPoint name must be entered, exactly as programmed in AEOS:
 
 
'''Example:''' nvc2522aepu1:voordeur
 
 
[[File:Nedap8.png|thumb|left|750px]]
 
<br style="clear:both;" />

LOG "## Door open to AEOS S%2.dir,D%1.dir"
 
}}
 
 
=== Devices ===
 
To perform actions after events from AEOS it is important that the devices at the door has the same name as the AccessPoint in the Aepu (door controller Nedap). The name is compared with the incoming data from the events.
 
 
DO NOT USE accented letters.
 
 
See the example below:
 
 
[[File:Nedap9.png|thumb|left|750px|<nowiki>Event:GE|411|AEOS|210|nvc2522aepu1:</nowiki>'''voordeur'''<nowiki>|1015|20161108|104548|NedapXS Cards 9|Darthvader||0||---- ;</nowiki>]]
 
<br style="clear:both;" />
 
 
=== NEDAP AEOS settings ===
 
'''AEOS version:'''
 
* 2019.2.3 or higher
 
 
'''Check if webservices are installed'''
 
* During the installation of AEOS you can check in 1 of the last steps whether the SOAP Webservices are installed or not. If not, the whole setup needs to be executed again. This means that AEOS will be down and nobody will be able to log in. The Controllers will continue to work as before.
 
 
'''Starting Webservices'''
 
* In AEOS under system properties we need to look at section "44.15 SOAP WebService" and this should be checked. If not, it should be checked and the application service restarted from AEOS (under Services on the server).
 
 
'''Open windows firewall for TCP traffic on port 8035'''
 
* Usually, we open all ports or disable the Windows Firewall since the server is well protected.
 
 
'''Creating the Socketuser'''
 
* Name is free to choose (case sensitive).
 
::Suggestion : StentofonSocketUser
 
::Password : ****** (use only standard characters, no accented letters)
 
 
'''Assign the appropriate rights to this user'''
 
* This is done under the user role in AEOS and it is given the following properties:
 
 
[[File:Nedap10.png|thumb|left|750px]]
 
<br style="clear:both;" />
 
 
'''How to check if this user is logged in?'''
 
* This can be checked under "Maintain connected users" in AEOS:
 
 
[[File:Nedap11.png|thumb|left|750px]]
 
<br style="clear:both;" />
 
 
'''How to check if a door-open command comes in and is executed in AEOS?'''
 
* This can be checked under Monitor => Events => View Log and best set a filter on "Provide access".
 
 
[[File:Nedap12.png|thumb|left|750px]]
 
<br style="clear:both;" />
 
 
* All the real socket interface operations are also found in the log:
 
 
[[File:Nedap13.png|thumb|left|750px]]
 
<br style="clear:both;" />
 
 
'''Check the web services for correct operation.'''
 
* This can be checked by going to the following link (random example): <br> <nowiki>https://192.168.10.250:8443/aeosws?wsdl</nowiki>
 
* If you see the following page there it is OK:
 
 
[[File:Nedap14.png|thumb|left|750px]]
 
<br style="clear:both;" />
 
 
* In the Event Handler action commands, the AEOS controller and the AccessPoint name must be entered EXACTLY as programmed in AEOS, Example: ''nvc2522aepu1:frontdoor''
 
* So, an export list is needed from AEOS with this data.

Revision as of 09:20, 19 March 2024

This article describes the integration between AEOS (Nedap) and ICX-AlphaCom. The main content is written by our platinum partner Elbo, with updates from Patrick Castelein.

Functional Specifications

The AEOS <-> AlphaCom interface is a bi-directional connection, based on the Socket interface on the AEOS side and a EDO/EDI connection on the AlphaCom side. The link is actualized on the basis of local intercom server ICX-500/ICX-Core to AEOS, without the inclusion of AlphaNet.

It is also possible to log in directly to the AEpu (door controller), but this is not included in this document. The functionalities below become available with this interface:

  1. Opening doors in AEOS environment during an intercom conversation (ICX-AlphaCom to AEOS) after providing the “open door” command in ICX-AlphaCom and playing a prerecorded audio message on the intercom when the door is opened by AEOS. By default, this involves pressing the “6” key during an intercom conversation.
  2. Play a prerecorded audio message in an intercom station or make a call when an access key or badge is authorized or denied (AEOS to ICX-AlphaCom).
