Initial connection
Logging in
Initial connection is done by connecting a laptop to Eth port 0, open a web browser (e.g. Firefox or Chrome), and type in the IP address in the address field of the browser:
- Default IP address 169.254.1.5
- Default Username: admin
- Default Password: alphaadmin
These credentials will give Read/Write privileges, making it possible to do changes in the configuration.
To log in with Read privileges only, the credentials are:
- Default Username: alpha
- Default Password: com
With these credentials one can check status and read information, but not make any changes to the system.
Changing Default User Name and Password
For security reasons it is recommended to change the default user names and passwords.
- Select System Configuration > User Management
- Enter the Current Password for both Read access and Read/Write access (default: com and alphaadmin)
- Enter new User Name and Password
- Re-enter the New Passwords to confirm
- Verify by clicking Update User 1 and Update User 2
- Write down the selected passwords and keep them in a secure place.
Saving and Applying changes
When new configuration parameters are entered, they are saved to the configuration file by clicking Save. To apply the new settings to the running configuration, click Apply.
System Monitoring
Node Information
Shows general information about the system such as Node Name and Node Number. It also shows state information; different times and memory usage. Information about the Software Configuration, and the Hardware Configuration (the different boards and versions), and also the state of the different processes running in the system.
- Node name: The name of the gateway, as configured from AlphaPro, Exchange & System > System menu.
- Node number: Default node number is 1. The node number is used for communication between gateways interconnected in a network (AlphaNet). The node number can be changed from AlphaPro, Exchange & System > System menu.
- Operational: Enabled: The intercom application (vs-amcd) is running. Disabled: The intercom application is not running.
- Active Calls: Shows the number of currently active calls. Refresh (F5) the web page to see current status. If there is a need to restart the system, one can wait until there are no active calls in the system.
- Current System Time: Shows the current time in the ICX-500, as presented in display stations.
- System Uptime: The time elapsed since last time the system (Linux) started
- ICXCORE Uptime: The time elapsed since last time the intercom application (vs-amcd) started
- MAC Address: Shows the MAC address of the ICX-500.

- ICXCORE System Package: Show the version of the software package running on the partition that is currently active.
- Customer Database: The version of the customer database
- Redundant Servers (IPHA): When redundant servers are used, this field will show if this server is the "Configuration Master" or the Configuration Slave".
- Redundant Server State: When redundant servers are used, this field will show if this server is currently the operational server, or if it is in standby
Services
In the "Services" section one can see which software services are currently running, and their version number.
Stations/Devices
Configured
The table can be sorted by clicking on the relevant header. In the Search field you can search for any free text, e.g. directory number, display text or IP address. Click on Download device list to open the station list in Excel spreedsheet.
- Physical Numbers: The physical number is the index number to which the station or device is assosiated.
- Directory Number: The directory number is the number you must dial to reach the station.
- Display Text: The caller ID of the station as programmed in AlphaPro, Users & Stations.
- IP Address: The IP address of the IP Station or SIP Station. Clicking on the IP address will open a new tab in your browser and connect to that IP address.
- MAC Address: Shows the MAC address of IP stations.
- (0013cb00c7e9): When the MAC address is displayed in brackets, the station is "Registered with Directory Number". The MAC address will only show when the station is registered, else it will show DIP free MAC.
- 0013CB00C7E9: When the MAC address is displayed without brackets, the station is configured in AlphaPro to "Register with its MAC address". The MAC address will show regardless if the station is registered or not.
- DIP free MAC: The IP station is configured in AlphaPro to "Register with Directory Number", but is not registered.

Unconfigured
The "Unconfigured" list shows stations that are able to connect to the ICX-500 gateway, but not able to register.
Typical reasons for not being able to register are:
- The directory number specified in the station web does not exist in the ICX-500 gateway
- The "CCoIP Station" flag is not enabled
Check "Directory Number" and "CCoIP Station" flag settings in AlphaPro, Users & Stations.
AlphaNet/SIP Trunks
This table shows all AlphaNet and SIP Trunk connections.
The table shows:
- Node ID: Unique index number (1 - 254) of the ICX node or the SIP Trunk node
- Node Prefix: The prefix to dial on the intercom station to reach that node
- Name: Shows the name of the node. If the name is changed from AlphaPro, a small reset is required for the name to be updated.

Audio Statistics
The ICX-500 collects Audio Statistics and RTP Statistics for local calls as well as for AlphaNet and SIP Trunk calls. The statistics are cleared when the ICX-500 is reset.
Audio Statistics:
- Connection Type: Local calls inside this node, AlphaNet calls or SIP Trunk calls.
- Connection Path: Shows between which nodes the statistics are for
- Seconds of Audio: The total time of audio for all conversations
- Connections: The number of connections since last reset
- Max Lines: The peak of concurrent calls
RTP Statistics:
Click on View Details on one of the connections to see detailed RTP statistics for that connection:
- Time (sec): Total duration of connections
- Connections: Number of connections
- TxPacktes: Count of RTP packets transmitted
- RxPacktes: Count of RTP packets received in time playout
- RxLate: Count of RTP packets received too late for playout
- RxLost: Count of RTP packets not received at all
- RxLost (‰): (RxLate / RxPacktes) * 1000
- RxLost (‰): (RxLost / RxPacktes) * 1000
The "Jitter Avg" and "Delay Avg" are average values of the last 10 connections:
- Jitter Avg (ms): Jitter computed as in A.8 of RFC3550, sampled once every second, and converted to milliseconds.
- Delay Avg (ms): Localt Rx jitter buffer delay, sampled once every second, and converted to milliseconds.
Log
Log files stored on the ICX-500 gateway can be viewed or downloaded by selecting System Monitoring > Log.
- To view a log file directly in the browser, Select Log to read, then press Submit.
- To download the log file, press the link under Filename, and store the log file on the laptop
By default logging is disabled. To enable logging, select System Configuration > Logging |
System Configuration
Interfaces
There are two Ethernet interfaces on the ICX-500 Gateway, Eth0 and Eth1. The IP address is set by using CIDR notation. It appends a slash character ("/") to the address and a decimal number specifying the number of bits (out of the total 32 bits of an IP address) that the network prefix consists of.
Factory Default settings are:
- Eth0: 169.254.1.5/16
- Eth1: 0.0.0.0/32 (obtain IP Address automatically - DHCP)
Enter the IP address, press Validate, and then Save & Apply.
Examples of CIDR notation and equivalent dot-decimal notation:
- 169.254.1.5/16 is equivalent to IP address 169.254.1.5 and net mask 255.255.0.0.
- 10.5.101.30/24 is equivalent to IP address 10.5.101.30 and net mask 255.255.255.0.
- 192.168.1.40/26 is equivalent to IP address 192.168.1.40 and net mask 255.255.255.192.
See here for more examples.
Routes
The Routing table must be configured if there is a need to communicate with devices outside own subnet. Three different route types can be defined:
- Default route (= Default gateway)
- Net route - A route to one particular IP network
- Host route - A route to one particular host
Defining a Default Gateway
To define a Default Gateway, select Add New, and enter:
- Destination net = 0.0.0.0/0
- Gateway on local subnet = IP Address of the default gateway
- Interface = On which Ethernet interface the default gateway is located
- Press Validate
- Press Save & Apply
Defining a Net Route
To define a route to one particular network, select Add New, and enter:
- Destination net = IP address of the remote IP network in CIDR notation
- Gateway on local subnet = IP Address of the gateway
- Interface = On which Ethernet interface the gateway is located
- Press Validate
- Press Save & Apply
Defining a Host Route
To define a Host route, select Add New, and enter:
- Destination net = <IP address of the host>/32
- Gateway on local subnet = IP Address of the gateway
- Interface = On which Ethernet interface the gateway is located
- Press Validate
- Press Save & Apply
Filters
The built-in firewall of the ICX-500 Gateway is by default configured for management services (AlphaPro, Web Interface) on Ethernet port 0, and VoIP services (e.g. IP- and SIP stations, AlphaNet) on ethernet port 1.
In the Filters settings one can modify what services should be available on each ethernet interface.
ICX-Alphacom can not use any TCP port below 1024. These ports are Priviliged ports, which is a Linux security feature |
New TCP or UDP ports can be added by selecting Add Filter. Remember to enable it after adding!
Stations/Devices.
From the Stations/Devices list some user parameters can be modified.
The table can be sorted by clicking on the relevant header. In the Search field you can search for any free text, e.g. directory number, display text or IP address.
By clicking on a station in the list, the following parameters can be modified:
- Directory Number
- Display Text
- COS (Class of service)
- Volume
- Noise Reduction
- Always Private
Changes will take immediate effect. No reset is required.
Quick Edit Mode
When multiple changes are to be made, the Quick Edit Mode can be enabled, and each parameter can be modified directly from the table without having to open an extra window.
Remember to click on Apply Changes to save the changes.
Logging
There are three different log types:
- Debug Log: Low level messages. For debugging purposes for software engineers.
- System Log: Provides log events for monitoring the health of the ICX system. The log includes Station Line errors, restart, backup/restore, Customized event logging (LOG command) etc.
- Call Statistics Log: Detailed information about Calls, Call Requests, Group calls, external SIP trunk calls
There are four different log Destinations:
- Local Filesystem - Log files are stored locally on the ICX-500 Gateway. Logs can be viewed or downloaded from System Monitoring > Logs
- Remote SysLog - Enter the IP Address of the remote computer, and the protocol type (UDP or TCP)
- E-Mail - If the ICX-500 has access to an e-mail server, log events can be forwarded to a predefined e-mail address
- SNMP Trap - Enter the IP Address of the remote computer running the SNMP service. Select SNMP System Information to configure additional SNMP parameters (Name, Location, Contact, Community String and SNMP Port).
To configure logging press Edit next to the Destination, and enter relevant parameters. The different logs are enabled by setting "Pri Level" = Info.
After changed are Saved and Applied, the logging can be tested by clicking on "Generate test log messages".
To filter on a specific text in the log strings, add the required text in the Contains field. Only log events that contain this text will be sent to the log.
Logging to Local Filesystem
The log system is creating a new file every day for each of the log types (Debug, System and Statistics).
Log rotation is used to prevent the logs from growing out of control. Every 10 minutes there is a check if the log files are consuming more than 20MB of memory space. If more than 20MB, the oldest log file will be deleted, until the remaining space is below 20MB. I.e. you will loose one day of logging each time a log file is deleted.
Clean up will remove 10% of the oldest log content. Delete will delete the complete log file.
Licensing
For how to obtain and install licenses, see Licenses for ICX-500 and ICX-AlphaCom Core.
Installed licenses are displayed in System Configuration > Licensing.
The ICX system comes with a 20-day free license period. Until valid licenses are installed, the remaining time of the free period is displayed.
User Management
From the User Management page the username and password for logging into the ICX can be changed.
For security reasons it is highly recommended to change the default username and password.
Default username/password:
- Read User: alpha/com
- Read/Write User: admin/alphaadmin
- Custom Script User: scripter/alphascripter
|
Time and Date
The Time and Date section shows the current time zone configured.
In the Select New Region section a new time zone can be configured. When a valid time zone is configured, the ICX will automatically adjust for daylight saving time.
In the Set Localtime section, the date and time can be manually set.
In the Configure Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server section the ICX can be configured to synchronise the time to a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. Enter the IP address of the NTP server, then Set Server. The ICX will now check if this is a valid NTP server, and display a message accordingly. The connection to the NTP Server can also be tested by the Test Server button. The button Get Time will instantly read the NTP time and set the time and date.
When the ICX is configured to use NTP Server, the time and date is automatically synchronized approx. each minute.
NTP Clock Drift Adjustment: If there is no NTP Server available at site where the ICX500 Gateway is to be installed, there is an option to temporarily connect the ICX to a network with NTP Server during commissioning (e.g. in the workshop before shipping to end customer). Configure the ICX to synchronize the time to this NTP server. Now the internal ICX clock will be compared to the NTP time, and the offset will be calculated. One should leave the ICX connected to the NTP network for at least 24 hours to get the best result. When the ICX is moved to a network without NTP Server, it will use this offset value to correct the real time clock in ICX.
When an offset value has been calculated, the Slew will show a value, and the Update Time will show the date and time when the offset value was stored.
DNS
To define DNS service:
- In System Configuration > DNS, press Add new
- Enter the IP address of the DNS server in the IP address field.
Hostnames
To configure a Host name:
- In System Configuration > Host Names, press Add new
- Enter the Host Name and IP address.
When interfacing the ICX system to an external SIP PBX, it might be that the SIP PBX require "Host name" instead of IP address. Then this Host name table can be used, see SIP Trunk - Host name
DHCP server
The ICX500 Gateway can be configured to act as a DHCP Server, and automatically provide and assign IP addresses to client devices (e.g. intercom stations).
To configure the DHCP Server:
- In System Configuration > DHCP server, press Add new, and select which Ethernet Interface to use for the DHCP server
- Select IP address range start and end.
- Select the Lease time. The lease time is the period of time that the IP address is allocated to the device. At the end of the lease, if the device have not yet renewed it, the IP address is free to be handed out to another devices. Default lease time is 1 hour.
The DHCP server will provide:
- An IP address in the range specified
- The Subnet Mask will be the same mask as used by the ethernet interface specified
- Gateway address will be the same as the default gateway address defined in the ICX Routing table. If no default gateway is defined, it will use the IP address of the ethernet interface it self
- DNS address - the IP address of the ethernet interface it self
As IP addresses are handed out, the devices will appear in the DHCP Leases list:
Make sure that DHCPv4 server (UDP port 67) is enabled in Filters for the Ethernet interface used for the DHCP service |
Messaging
From the Messaging menu one can upload two types of voice messaging services:
- A complete Voice Language Package - containing a set of Help messages, Absence messages, Information messages and Alarm messages
- Custom audio files
Install Voice Language Package:
- Download the language package for the language you want to use. The file is on .deb format
- In the "Upload ASVP Package (.deb) File" section, Browse to the file, and Upload. The voice services will take effect immediately, no restart required.
- Several language packages can be uploaded. If so, you need to select from the drop-down list which one to use.
|
Upload Custom audio files:
- In the "Upload Custom Wav File" section, select Message Group, Group Index and Browse to the file you want to upload.
- The file will be renamed when uploaded. Name format : svp_xxx_yyy.wav, where xxx=message group and yyy=group index.
Examples of Message Groups and Group Index:
- Message Group 30, Group Index 1 - 9: Alarm messages 8191 – 8199
- Message Group 10, Group Index 47: Call Request message ”Your call is registered, please wait”
High Availability
TBD
SIP Number Translation
From the System Configuration > SIP Number Translation menu, one can upload a CSV file, which is used for number translation on incoming and/or outgoing SIP Trunk calls. When the CSV file is uploaded, the content will be displayed in a table in the web page:
The file name must be sip_config.csv, and the format as follows:
Number translation;;; Type;Internal;Public; in ;110;22222900; out ;120;22341567; bi;2563;40002563; in ;-;*; out ;*;40002500;
The first two lines of the file are ignored and are used for description of columns in Excel.
(The order of the rest of the lines is not important.)
The CSV file can be uploaded, edited and saved from Excel:
First column "Type"
- "in" Translation used for incoming calls, the destination number will be matched with "Public" and replaced with "Internal" number.
- "out" Translation used for outgoing calls, the source number will be matched with "Internal" and replaced with "Public".
- "bi" Translation used for both incoming and outgoing with the above rules.
Second column "Internal"
- ICX intercom number
Third column "Public"
- Public phone number
Special characters
*: If no match found, use this entry (Can only be used for "in" or "out", not for "bi")
-: When used for "in" - Internal number, the reply on SIP will be "404 not found". (Use it with public number "*", to reject all undefined numbers).
If no match and no "*", the number will be sent as is to ICX.
Explanation of the example file
in ;110;22222900;
- When receiving an incoming SIP trunk call from phone number "22222900", the Internal number 110 will be dialed.
- The “To” field in the SIP Header is changed from 22222900 to 110, and the call is routed to 110.
out ;120;22341567;
- When making an outgoing call to the SIP trunk from Internal station 120, the source number will be "22341567"
- The “From” field of the SIP Header is changed from 120 to 22341567, causing the Caller ID at the receiving side to be 22341567.
bi;2563;40002563;
- Incoming calls from phone number "40002563" will be routed to intercom station number "2563". On outgoing calls from intercom station "2563" the source (Caller ID) will be "40002563".
in ;-;*;
- Incoming calls from other phone numbers than 22341567, 40002563 and 22222900 will be rejected with the SIP response "404 Not found"
out ;*;40002500;
- For all other stations than 120 and 2563, the source number will be 40002500 for outbound calls.
Other example:
replace "in ;-;*;" with in ;100;*;
- For all incoming calls from other than 22341567, 40002563 and 22222900, the call will be routed to Internal number "100"
Use case: Direct Dial-In (DDI) (aka Direct Inward Dialing DID), where a series of public phone numbers are routed directly to predefined intercom stations. When an outgoing call is made from an intercom station, one can manipulate the source of the caller (Caller ID) to be the public phone number instead of the intercom station number.
System Maintenance
System Recovery
From the System Maintenance > System Recovery menu one have the following options:
- Small Reset: Reset main applications
- Reboot: Reboots the complete system
- Chilly Restart: Reset main applications and clear state data like mails, call forwarding, absence status, UDDs and audio program selection. Configuration data is kept.
- Load Factory Default: Reset intercom configuration data to factory defaults. All IP settings are kept.

IP Device Upgrade
TBD
Backup and Restore
From System Maintenance > Backup and Restore one can create backup file and restore backup of the ICX system.
Create a backup:
- Press the Backup button. This will generate a backup file which is stored locally on the ICX system, as well as on your computer. You can choose to Include technical debug information. Normally you include debug information only if you have issues with the system, and want to forward the backup file to a support engineer for analyses.
- An alternative way to create a backup file is to dial 7820 + M-key from a SuperUser station.
- The backup files will be listed under the "Restore" section. There may be several backup files. Each file is identified by its date.
Upload backup from a laptop:
- Browse to the backup file (.tar.gz file extension), and Upload.
- The backup file will be listed under the "Restore" section, with date and time from when it was uploaded.
Restore a backup:
- Click on a backup file listed under the "Restore" section. More details will be displayed:
The following options are available:
- Keep IP settings: When checked, the current IP settings in the ICX will be kept. When unchecked, the IP settings from the backup file will be used
- Restore license: When checked, the license from the backup file will be used. When unchecked, the current licenses in the ICX will be kept.
- Restore messages: When checked, any Custom audio wav files in the backup file will be restored. Existing audio files will be replaced if the file name is identical. When unchecked, any wav files in the backup file will not be restored.
- Restore: Will install the backup on the ICX system.
- Delete: Will delete the backup file from the ICX-500
- Download: Will download a copy of the backup file to your computer
Storage device:
- By default the backup file is stored on the Local flash memory of the ICX-500 (as well as on the computer creating the backup). If a SD Card is inserted in the ICX-500, one can choose to store backup file on the SD card instead.
- After the SD card is inserted, reboot the ICX-500, then select Check for device. The "SD card" should now appear as an option:
Note that when "SD Card" is selected, backup file will not be stored locally.
Import
The Import menu is currently used for importing Chinese character set for display stations.
