{{AEIS}}

=== Introduction ===
Avigilon Unity (version 8 and later) is the replacement for what was previously Avigilon Control Center (up until version 7).

This guide describes the process of adding Zenitel devices to Avigilon Unity/Avigilon Control Center. 
It is assumed that Avigilon has already been setup and is operational and the user is familiar with the operation.

=== Supported Devices ===
====Video Intercoms====
*Turbine Video intercom and kit: TCIV+
*Turbine Video kit: TKIV+
* Turbine  Video intercom TCIV (obsolete)

====Non-Video Intercoms====
* Turbine Compact series TCIS
* Turbine Industrial series TFIE
* Turbine kits TKIE and TKIS
* EX intercoms series TFIX
* V2 Master Stations
* IP Speakers

=== Pre-requisites ===
* VS-IS 7.1.3.0 or later must be installed in the Zenitel Device

=== Configuration in the Zenitel Devices ===
Additional ONVIF configuration is available from the [[ONVIF_Settings#Video_Intercoms|Web Interface]] of the device:
* To receive information about Call Button pressed, "'''Report DAK as Digital Input in ONVIF'''" option must be enabled in the Zenitel device prior to discovery.
* To receive information about Station Call Events (In Conversation, Ringing, In call queue), the "'''Report station events as Digital Input in ONVIF'''" must be enabled in the Zenitel device prior to discovery.

<br style="clear:both;" />

* In the top part of the new window you will find a list with the auto discovered devices.
* In the bottom part of the window you will see the list of devices already connected to the server.

* If your device is not in the discovered devices list you can search for it by clicking '''Find Device...'''.
* In the pop-up set the '''Search Type''' to '''IP Address''' for a single device or '''IP Address Range''' to scan an entire range.
* Set '''Device Type ''' to '''ONVIF'''
* Fill in the remaining fields with the correct information and click '''OK'''

All video, audio and GPIO options are now available in Avigilon.

=== Example rule setup ===
Under setup go to the top level system and click rules.

[[Image:Avigilon step 1.png|thumb|left|800px|Top level setup]]
<br style="clear:both;" />

Click the "Add" button.

[[Image:Avigilon step 2.png|thumb|left|800px|Rule setup]]
<br style="clear:both;" />

First we select an event to trigger the rule.
In this example we choose "Digital input activated"

[[Image:Avigilon step 4.png|thumb|left|800px|Rule trigger setup]]
<br style="clear:both;" />

When you click the blue link you can specify which digital input.
''Tip: add the "custom keyboard command" for debugging ease''

[[Image:Avigilon step 6.png|thumb|left|800px|Trigger setup done]]
<br style="clear:both;" />


Next we select what has to happen when the rule is activated.
In this example we choose "Activate digital output"

[[Image:Avigilon step 8.png|thumb|left|800px|Action setup]]
<br style="clear:both;" />

And again if we click the blue link you can specify the output to be triggered.

<br style="clear:both;" />

The third step is to specify if a condition has to be met for the rule to be active.

[[Image:Avigilon step 10.png|thumb|left|800px|Rule conditions]]
<br style="clear:both;" />

And the last step is to specify a name, description and a schedule for the rule to be active.
