IP Desktop Station with Video Display - 1408001635

This article describes how to set up the IP Desktop Station with Video Display - 1408001635 to operate in a PULSE system. The station can be used for audio only, and it can be used to also show the video stream from a Vingtor-Stentofon Video Door Station.

Operation

If the calling station has an associated camera, the video stream will pop up when the call is received. The video is available both during ringing and during the conversation. There is a text overlay at the bottom of the screen which shows the name of the calling party (e.g. "Entrance").

It is also possible via the LCD touch screen to manually select a camera when there is no active calls.

If the calling station has no camera associated, regular Caller ID (number and name) will be displayed.

Requirements

Software requirement

  • The IP Desktop Station requires software version 02.5.3.0 or newer
  • The LCD screen requires firmware 2.1 or newer

Camera requirement

The LCD screen supports MJPEG video only, with the resolution 240 x 320. Video codec H.264 is not supported. The camera must be able to provide video on MJPEG format at resolution 240 x 320.


LCD Screen Configuration

  • The IP Desktop Station it self is configured in the same way as any other station in a Pulse system. The default IP address is 169.254.1.100. For more details, see Installation_and_configuration.
  • The LCD screen has its own IP address, and is configured separately. The default IP address is 169.254.1.101.
  1. Touch the upper part of the LCD touch screen for a few seconds to read the IP address.
  2. Open the web browser of your computer, enter the IP address into the address bar (e.g. "http://169.254.1.101" or "169.254.1.101") and click Enter.
