Bellcommander is software for integrating scheduled audio, school bells, factory bells, and emergency notification with SIP/2.0 compliant phone systems.

Scheduled paging from Bellcommander

In this configuration Bellcommander will dial a given extension number (usually a group number) and play a Wav file on defined intervals.

Create SIP extension in AlphaCom

First step is to configure an extension in the AlphaCom that Bellcommander can register on.

Create a standard SIP extension:

Enable automatic M-Key on group

To make group calls possible from SIP clients, we need to enable automatic M-key from SIP clients in the Group configuration.

In AlphaPro go to "Groups" -> "Local Groups" -> "Change" -> Select "Automatic M-Key only from SIP calls"

Configure Bellcommander registration

Open BellCommander and go to "Devices" -> "SIP Destinations"

SIP Server: IP address of AlphaCom
SIP Server Port: 5060
Domain: empty

Press "Apply"

The next step is to add extension that Bellcommander will dial to play the messages.

Under "SIP Destinations" select "Add"

In the screenshot under, All-Call (84) is added as a destination.

Then we add which extension BellCommander will register to.

Under BellCommander SIP Extensions select "Add"

SIP User ID:Extension number you selected for BellCommander
Authorization name:same as User ID
Display Name:same as User ID
Extension Password: Empty
Port: Leave as is

You can now test sending a wav file with the "Test SIP Destination" feature.

Configure scheduling

Configure schedule according to needs under "Day Scheduler" and "Calendar"
