This article describes how to setup the STENTOFON [[DECT Server 2500]] to work with the AlphaCom XE using the SIP protocol. The STENTOFON DECT Server 2500 (or the bigger module; 8000) is a DECT system that connects to the AlphaCom XE Audio Server through the SIP protocol. The DECT Server uses digital base stations. Main advantage is that the system is not reliant on synchronization like the STENTOFON IP DECT Server 6000 between bases.

 +
The STENTOFON DECT Server 2500 has four card slots. In the 1st slot from the left the '''CPU''' card is installed, the 2nd slot holds the '''Media Resource''' card, slots 3 and 4 are used for other interface cards such as the digital base stations. Both the '''CPU''' card and the '''Media Resource''' card needs an ethernet connection, and its own IP address in the system.

To access the embedded web server of the IP-Dect Server, start your internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) and in the address field enter '''192.168.0.1'''. You will be prompted for a username and password.
  
Load factory default configuration on the IP-Dect Server by pressing the reset button through the hole at the rear with an unbend paper clip for 10 sec. Observe the front LED; when pressing the reset button the LED becomes steady red for about 5 seconds, it then starts to flash slowly. When releasing the reset button after 10 seconds, the LED starts to flash fast, colored red. It finally turns off (the server is rebooting).

This article describes how to setup the STENTOFON DECT Server 2500 to work with the AlphaCom XE using the SIP protocol. The STENTOFON DECT Server 2500 (or the bigger module; 8000) is a DECT system that connects to the AlphaCom XE Audio Server through the SIP protocol. The DECT Server uses digital base stations. Main advantage is that the system is not reliant on synchronization like the STENTOFON IP DECT Server 6000 between bases.

The STENTOFON DECT Server 2500 has four card slots. In the 1st slot from the left the CPU card is installed, the 2nd slot holds the Media Resource card, slots 3 and 4 are used for other interface cards such as the digital base stations. Both the CPU card and the Media Resource card needs an ethernet connection, and its own IP address in the system.

Configuration example

Configuration of AlphaCom XE

Configuration of the AlphaCom XE depends on the software version in the AMC-IP board. You can find the latest versions on our downloads page.

Also see: SIP phone as station

AMC 10.56 and newer

  • AlphaPro software 10.56. or newer is required for the configuration
  • From the Users & Stations window in AlphaPro, select a user and enable the 'SIP station' flag
  • Configure Directory number and Display text
  • Select a supported codec for the SIP station to use
SIP phones are configured in the Users & Stations window


AMC 10.55 and earlier

The AlphaCom E needs to be configured with a SIP registrar node, and must be equipped with license for SIP stations.

Configuration of STENTOFON DECT Server 2500

Getting access to the embedded web server

Before the PC can access the IP Dect Server, the IP address of the PC must be changed to match the same subnet (for example 192.168.0.2). To access the embedded web server of the IP-Dect Server, start your internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) and in the address field enter 192.168.0.1. You will be prompted for a username and password.

Default:

Username: admin
Password: kws8000

The Service Report page should now be displayed.

CPU Network Configuration

All changes to fields marked with two stars need a reboot to take effect
Under the System tab go the Network page where you define IP and NTP settings for the CPU card in the STENTOFON DECT Server 2500.

  • Under Date and Time, select Network (NTP) (optional)
    • Type in the IP address of the NTP server from which the system will obtain the current time in the NTP Server field (optional)

Network Time Protocol settings


  • Under IP Settings & Status select Shelf No. = Primary and Card No. = CPU
    • In the IP Address field, type in the IP address of the IP-DECT Server
    • In the Subnet Mask field, type in the network mask
    • In the Gateway field, type in the IP address of the gateway.
CPU Network settings


  • Click Save
  • Click Restart in the top menu
    • You need to change your computers IP address to match your new address in the server in order to enter the configuration again

Leave the rest to default settings.

Media Resource Network Configuration

All changes to fields marked with two stars need a reboot to take effect
Under the System tab go the Network page where you define IP settings for the Media Resource card in the STENTOFON DECT Server 2500.

  • Under IP Settings & Status select Shelf No. = Primary and Card No. = MR card 1
    • Click Refresh
    • In the IP Address field, type in the IP address of the Media Resource' card
    • In the Subnet Mask field, type in the network mask
    • In the Gateway field, type in the IP address of the gateway.
Media Resource card Network settings


  • Click Save
  • Click Restart in the top menu.

Leave the rest to default settings.

DECT Server 2500 SIP Configuration

All changes to fields marked with two stars need a reboot to take effect
On the SIP Configuration page you define general SIP settings, DTMF signalling, message waiting indication and media.

  • Under General
    • In the Local Port field, type the local port number. The default local port number is 5060
    • In the Default Domain field, type in the IP address of your AlphaCom
  • Under Proxies
    • In the URI field for Proxy 1, type in the IP address of your AlphaCom
General and Proxy settings


  • Under DTMF signalling
    • Select the Send as RTP (RFC2833) check box
DTMF settings


  • Under Media
    • From the Packet Duration(msec) list, select 20
    • In the Codec Priority fields, select PCMU/8000 as choice number 1
    • Set the rest to "None"
Media Codec settings


  • Click Save to save your SIP Cconfiguration data
  • Go to the System page and click Restart to make all the changes take effect

Leave the rest to default settings

Base Station Configuration

Connecting the Base Stations

Connect all base stations to the Base Station Interface

  • In the STENTOFON DECT Server 2500 webserver navigate to Digital Base Stations to ensure that the base stations are online
    • It takes approximately 20 seconds before the base stations are online after the are connected
Digital Base stations - List Page


  • Click the green V to apply settings to each base station
  • Click Reboot all digital base stations

Handset Registration and Subscription

This section provides information about handset registration and subscription. You must register and subscribe a handset before you can use it. When registering handsets you enter information about the handset settings (such as; the handset serial number (IPEI), name etc.) in the system database. When subscribing handsets you subscribe a registered handset to the system for usage. If the handset is not registered in the system database, subscription of the handset is not possible.

Registering IP-DECT Handsets

To register handsets you use the web based Administration Page of the STENTOFON DECT Server 2500. Each handset in the wireless solution must be programmed with the serial number (IPEI) before it can operate. This serial number must be registered in the web based Administration Page of the DECT Server. Serial numbers are a unique fingerprint of each handset. The serial number is programmed into the handset during the manufacturing process and cannot be changed by field personnel. The serial number can be found on a label beneath the battery or it can be viewed in the handsets display.

  • For Rough and EX handsets: press *99984*V
  • For Office handsets: press Menu, Status, Firmware version

The Serial number consists of 12 digits.

Log in to the DECT Server 2500 and go to the Users page.
