Web Call and HTTP commands (Edge)

Webcall makes it possible to establish calls and operate relay directly from the station web interface.

One can also initiate calls and operate relay using HTTP commands from external applications, e.g. a web browser.

Station Web interface

As from version 5.1.3.0 webcall and remote relay operations by http commands are by default disabled. To enable, enter in the web browser the url "http://<IP Address>/goform/zForm_webcall", and check the flag Enable Web Call and Relay

To access the webcall page, enter in the web browser the url "http://<Station IP Address>/goform/zForm_webcall"

Relay

• Update relay status: The "Update" button will update the Relay status labels. Note that the number of relays/outputs varies for different station types.
• Relay Id: Identification of the relay which will be triggered. Valid ID formats are:
  • relay<N> - where <N> is the relay number which must be in range from 1 to total number of relays available on the station
  • output<N> - where <N> is the output number which must be in range from 1 to total number of outputs available on the station

• Activate relay: The "Activate" button to activate the relay defined in "Relay Id" field.

• Deactivate relay: The "Deactivate" button to activate the relay defined in "Relay Id" field.

HTTP commands

An intercom station can be controlled from external applications, e.g. a web browser, using HTTP URLs.

• Call from station with IP 10.5.2.138 to number 122:

http://10.5.2.138/goform/zForm_webcall?webcall=122&message=Place+call

• Cancel the call:

http://10.5.2.138/goform/zForm_webcall?webcall=122&message=Stop

• Answer an incoming call:

• Activate the relay:

http://10.5.2.138/goform/zForm_webcall?activate=Activate&username=admin&password=alphaadmin

• Deactivate the relay:

http://10.5.2.138/goform/zForm_webcall?deactivate=Deactivate&username=admin&password=alphaadmin

• Activate the relay with a timer (here 1 second):

http://10.5.2.138/goform/zForm_webcall?activate=Activate&relaytimer=1&username=admin&password=alphaadmin

• Activate the relay with a timer (here 20 seconds):

http://10.5.2.138/goform/zForm_webcall?activate=Activate&relaytimer=20&username=admin&password=alphaadmin

As from Turbine firmware 4.7 it is possible to control the 6 outputs of a Turbine device, and also the two relays on a Turbine Extended, and the two relays on TA-10 unit:

• Activate relay 2 (The parameter "relay2" specifies which relay (1-4)):

http://10.5.2.138/goform/zForm_webcall?activate=Activate&relaytimer=0&relayId=relay2&username=admin&password=alphaadmin

• Deactivate relay 2:

http://10.5.2.138/goform/zForm_webcall?deactivate=Deactivate&relaytimer=0&relayId=relay2&username=admin&password=alphaadmin

• Activate output 4 (The parameter "output4" specifies which output (1-6)):

http://10.5.2.138/goform/zForm_webcall?activate=Activate&relaytimer=0&relayId=output4&username=admin&password=alphaadmin

• Deactivate output 4:

http://10.5.2.138/goform/zForm_webcall?deactivate=Deactivate&relaytimer=0&relayId=output4&username=admin&password=alphaadmin
