[[File:PulseServerConfig.png|thumb|200px|First step: Configure the Pulse Server]]
 +
===Configure the Pulse Server===
 +
# Decide which station to use as a Pulse Server, and connect that station to a PoE Ethernet switch. ''Do not connect any other stations at this point''.
 +
# Connect your laptop computer to the network switch
 +
# Start a web browser (e.g. Firefox or Chrome), and [[Logging into an IP Station|log on to the station]].
 +
# In [[Main Settings (IP Stations)|Main Settings]], set "Station Mode" = '''Use Pulse Server'''. Enable '''Static IP''', and enter the IP address and network mask of the Pulse Server (Note: Do not use DHCP on the Pulse Server)
 +
# Press '''Save''' and '''Apply'''. The station will now reboot, and start up as a Pulse Server
  
−
The [[IMT|Vingtor-Stentofon Intercom Manager Tool (VS-IMT)]] can be used to configure multiple intercoms in a network. The following sections describe configuration procedures using the web interface of the station.
+
{{obs|It is recommended not to use TCIV (Turbine station with camera) as Pulse server in a system with more than 5 registered clients. For such systems please use any other Vingtor-Stentofon IP station type, such as TCIS-x, or TKIS-2. }}
  
−
== Define the Pulse Server ==
+
[[File:PulseServerConfigRest.png|thumb|200px|Second step: Connect and configure the rest of the stations]]
−
One of the intercom stations must be set as the "'''Pulse Server'''". The Pulse Server is acting as a server for the other intercom stations in the system. Any station can be a Pulse Server. However, more features are available if a [[:Category:Turbine|Turbine station]] is acting as a Pulse Server. There must be only one Pulse Server in the installation.
 
  
−
Connect the LAN port of the station to be the Pulse Server to a PoE Ethernet switch. ''Do not connect any other stations at this point''.
+
===Configure the remaining Intercom Stations===
 +
# After the Pulse Server has been configured, connect the rest of the IP intercom stations to the network.
 +
# Wait for the stations to boot up (approximately 60 seconds) before proceeding to the next step.
 +
# [[Logging into an IP Station|Log on to the Pulse Server station]] using its new IP address.
 +
# Select '''Server Management''' > '''Server Configuration''' > '''Directory Settings'''. You should now see a list of all stations on the network.
 +
# To identify the individual stations,  click '''Play'''. You will now hear a tone in the loudspeaker of the station you selected.
 +
# Enter '''Directory number''', '''Name''' and '''IP address''' for all the stations. You can choose to use a static IP address or to obtain IP address from a DHCP server.
 +
# Click '''Save''' to push the new settings to all stations, and  '''Apply''' to do a required system reboot.

−
[[File:Pulse Turbine Groups.PNG|thumb|left|600px|Group call configuration]]
 
−
<br style="clear:both;" />
 
−
 
 
−
* Change the parameters for each group are required:
 
−
 
 
−
** '''Nickname''': This is the display text shown in the initiating station when the group call is activated. Can be any text.
 
−
** '''Directory number''': The number to dial to activate the group call. If changed, a reboot of the Pulse Server is required for the changes to take effect.
 
−
** '''Priority''': A group call with higher priority will override a lower priority group call.
 
−
*** '''LOW/NORMAL''': The group call audio is not played if there is an ongoing conversation
 
−
*** '''HIGH''': The group call audio is mixed with conversation audio
 
−
*** '''EMERGENCY''': Conversation audio will be muted. Includes a [[Volume and handset override (Pulse)|Volume and handset override]] feature. The volume is turned to maximum level on all receiving stations, and the audio comes out of the loudspeaker even if the handset is off-hook.
 
−
** '''Stations in group''': Select the stations to be group members. You can select all stations in one operation by checking '''Add all stations''' box.
 
−
** '''Save''': There is a Save button for each group call. Remember to press Save before you make changes to the next group call.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
'''Troubleshooting:'''
 
−
 
 
−
''Q: When making a group call, the ding-dong is heard in the stations, but no audio.''
 
−
 
 
−
A: The problem is that the multicast audio does not reach the stations, which may be because of two things:
 
−
 
 
−
* If the stations are using static IP address you need to set the Gateway address for all stations.
 
−
:- Login to the Pulse Server
 
−
:- Select '''Station Main''' > '''Main Settings''' and set the '''Gateway''' address to be the Pulse Server IP Address (unless you have a real gateway).
 
−
:- Select '''Server Management''' > '''Server Configuration''', click '''Save''' then '''Apply'''.
 
−
:- Now all stations should have a gateway address.
 
−
 
 
−
*The network switch may drop multicast packets (For example Linksys ”business series” switches drops all multicast packets with default configuration). If this is the problem you will need to check the manual for the network switch.
 
−
 
 
−
==Ring List Configuration==
 
−
 
 
−
===Ringlist properties===
 
−
* When using Ringlist the call will always be set up in Private Ringing mode, regardless of the [[Auto Answer (Private/Open)|Private/Open settings]] of the called station. Because of this property one can also use the Ringlist to [[Private - Set Always Private|force a call to be in private ringing mode]], e.g. when calling from a door station.
 
−
* The Ringlist is used when the call is initiated from a '''call button''' or a Direct Access Key ('''DAK'''). The Ringlist is not in use when dialing a number on the keypad.
 
−
* The station types [[TCIS-6]] and [[TCIV-6]] does not support the Ringlist feature, because the call setup is using the uploaded call list, and not the Direct Access Key list.
 
−
 
 
−
The ringlist is configured by logging on to the web interface of the ''calling station'', then select '''SIP Configuration''' > '''Direct Access Key Settings'''.
 
−
Log on to the web interface of the station that will be making the call to configure the ringlist of the stations that should be called.
 
  
−
To configure a ringlist:
+
The Virtual I/O feature is supported on [[:Category:Stations#Turbine_stations|Turbine stations]] only.
−
* Select '''SIP Configuration''' > '''Direct Access Key Settings'''
 
−
There are variants of ringlists that can be set such as ringing time intervals, loopback, and ringing
 
−
together with previous stations.
 
  
−
[[File:SIP Turbine DAK.PNG|thumb|left|500px|Direct Access Key Settings]]
+
For more details, see [[Virtual I/O (Pulse)|Virtual I/O]]
−
<br style="clear:both;" />
 
  
−
'''''Note''': If you intend to include a Telephone gateway in the Ring List: Some telephone gateways accept a call immediately on incoming calls – even before the call has been accepted by the user (telephone). This terminates the ringlist sequence and any subsequent numbers in the ringlist will never be called. This is solved by placing the gateway number at the end of the ringlist and disabling the “With Previous” option. Ringlists that include an auto-accepting gateway will never loop back.''
+
=== Audio Messaging [Turbine only]===
  
−
=== Ring List with Ringing Time Intervals ===
+
Prerecorded audio files can be uploaded to a [[:Category:Stations#Turbine_stations|Turbine IP Station]], and the audio messages can be triggered by various events occuring on the station. The audio message files are uploaded from the station webinterface or from the [[IMT|VS-IMT tool]].  
−
By using the Ring List, an unattended call can be forwarded to another station after a preset time. The call loop can include several stations.
 
  
−

−
'''Note:''' It is not possible to forward to a second telephone number if the first one doesn't answer. This because the SIP gateway will immediately "answer the call" by establishing a voice connection between it self and the Pulse server (the SIP Gateway responds with SIP 200 OK), regardless if the phone on the remote end has answered the call or not.  This means that you can have only one SIP Gateway/telephone number entry in the ring list.

Pulse icon 300px.png
A Pulse System can contain any IP Station from Zenitel

The Pulse system is a SIP intercom system intended for small to mid-size installations for up to 64 IP stations. Up to 16 stations can be used without the need of a license. The Pulse System is easy to install and configure. It can be configured using a standard web browser (like Firefox or Chrome), or one can use the dedicated Intercom Management Tool IMT.

One of the intercom stations must be set as the "Pulse Server". The Pulse Server is acting as a server for the other intercom stations in the system. Any station can be a Pulse Server. However, more features are available if a Turbine station is acting as a Pulse Server. There must be only one Pulse Server in the installation.

This article described step by step how to configure a Pulse System using the Web interface, and all optional configurations and settings available.

Getting Started

First step: Configure the Pulse Server

Configure the Pulse Server

  1. Decide which station to use as a Pulse Server, and connect that station to a PoE Ethernet switch. Do not connect any other stations at this point.
  2. Connect your laptop computer to the network switch
  3. Start a web browser (e.g. Firefox or Chrome), and log on to the station.
  4. In Main Settings, set "Station Mode" = Use Pulse Server. Enable Static IP, and enter the IP address and network mask of the Pulse Server (Note: Do not use DHCP on the Pulse Server)
  5. Press Save and Apply. The station will now reboot, and start up as a Pulse Server
OBS icon It is recommended not to use TCIV (Turbine station with camera) as Pulse server in a system with more than 5 registered clients. For such systems please use any other Vingtor-Stentofon IP station type, such as TCIS-x, or TKIS-2.


Second step: Connect and configure the rest of the stations

Configure the remaining Intercom Stations

  1. After the Pulse Server has been configured, connect the rest of the IP intercom stations to the network.
  2. Wait for the stations to boot up (approximately 60 seconds) before proceeding to the next step.
  3. Log on to the Pulse Server station using its new IP address.
  4. Select Server Management > Server Configuration > Directory Settings. You should now see a list of all stations on the network.
  5. To identify the individual stations, click Play. You will now hear a tone in the loudspeaker of the station you selected.
  6. Enter Directory number, Name and IP address for all the stations. You can choose to use a static IP address or to obtain IP address from a DHCP server.
  7. Click Save to push the new settings to all stations, and Apply to do a required system reboot.
Configure the Server Directory



Verify System Setup

  1. To verify that the system is up and running, log on to the Pulse Server station and select Server Management > Server Monitoring
  2. All stations that have been configured should be displayed in the table. Stations that are up and running will have the status Registered.
  3. You should now be able call between the stations, and have two-way audio communication
Verifying System Setup



Adding more than 16 stations

The Pulse system supports up to 16 intercom stations without the need of any license. As from Turbine firmware ver. 4.7, the number of intercoms can be expanded to 64 by adding an Intercom extension license (item number 100 9661 001) for each station above 16. See here how to install the license.


Adding a new station to an existing Pulse System

See IP Station Configuration - Pulse mode


Additional configuration

Call Buttons (DAK)

The call buttons (also called Direct Access Key - DAK) can be configured via the Pulse Server or directly on the calling station.

  • Via Pulse Server: Log on to the Pulse Server, and select Server Management > Server Configuration > Direct Access Key Settings
  • Directly on the calling station: Select SIP Configuration > Direct Access Key Settings.

Related articles:

Call and Audio Settings

From the Pulse Server you get access to a subset of Call and Audio Settings:

  • On the Pulse Server, select Server Management > Server Configuration > Call and Audio Settings
Configure Call and Audio Settings


The Call and Audio Settings menu include the following parameters:

  • Autoanswer: When un-checked the call will be ringing (Private mode). When checked the call will connect straight through (Open mode). An optional field let you specify a delay (in seconds) before the call is auto-answered.
  • Relay Configuration: Click on this link to configure the relay operation of the station
  • Speaker Volume: This parameter sets the speaker volume for the station.
  • Noise Reduction: This parameter enables active noise cancellation. This feature is for stations that are located in noisy environments. A level of 3 or 4 is normally suitable.

By logging on to the station directly, you will get access to more settings:

Relay Settings

All IP Intercom stations (execpt the desktop models) have a built-in relay which can be used for door opening, call indication lamp etc. The relay can be controlled by a DTMF digit, or by a number of different call events and station statuses.

You can access the Relay Configuration page either:

  • Via the Pulse Server by selecting Server Mangement > Server Configuration > Call and Audio Settings, or
  • By logging on to the station directly, and select SIP Configuration > Relay Settings

For details about relay configuration, see Relay Settings

Inputs and Outputs

The Turbine stations have 6 I/O's which can be used as Inputs or Outputs. By default all I/O's are set as Inputs.

For details about configuration of inputs and outputs, see I/O Settings.

Station Profiles

The Station Profile defines a set of service features and parameters that are available for a group of stations. The following service features and parameters are included in the station profile:

  • Outgoing call restriction
  • Door opening including remote I/O
  • Group Call initiation
  • Busy Override

To modify Station Profiles, see Station Profiles


Group Call

The Pulse system supports 4 group calls. A group call is activated by dialing the appropriate code (default 84-87). A ding-dong signal is heard in all member stations. Press the M-key to speak, and C-key to disconnect. From substations without a M-key, the group call is in handsfree mode.

To configure the Group Call feature, see Group Call


Ring List

The Ring List is used to configure Call Escalation (i.e. forwarding of unattended calls), and for Parallel Ringing.

To configure the Ring List feature, see Ring List Function

Virtual I/O [Turbine only]

Virtual I/O is a feature for activating scripts on station events. The supported script languages are Lua and other shell scripting languages. This can be used for example to execute scripts towards other systems, e.g. access control systems, triggered by a DTMF digit. These scripts can be uploaded and configured via the menu options:

  • Script Upload
  • Script Configuration
  • Script Events

The Virtual I/O feature is supported on Turbine stations only.

For more details, see Virtual I/O

Audio Messaging [Turbine only]

Prerecorded audio files can be uploaded to a Turbine IP Station, and the audio messages can be triggered by various events occuring on the station. The audio message files are uploaded from the station webinterface or from the VS-IMT tool.

See Audio Messaging for more details.

Button and LED configuration for customized stations [Turbine only]

When making customized stations based on the Turbine Frontboard, it is possible from the station web interface to define DAK actions and LED behavior. This is supported when front board type is set to TCIS 1/2/3 and TCIV 1/2/3, and the station operates in Pulse or SIP mode.

For more details, see Button and LED configuration for customized stations (Pulse)

Backup and Restore

From the web interface of the station it is possible to backup and restore the configuration data. See Backup and Restore for more information.


Language Settings

In the INCA type stations it is possible to change the language of the display texts. This does not affect the texts in the web server interface. See Language Settings for details.

Password

The password for web access and for accessing the display setup menus can be changed, see Password (IP Stations).

3rd-party SIP phones

Up to 10 third party SIP phones can be registered to a Pulse system. Each phone requires that a SIP User account is defined on the Pulse Server.

Before adding SIP accounts to the system, you need to install a license for the Pulse 3rd Party SIP phones. When a valid SIP phone license has been installed, the Third Party SIP Terminals parameter will be available.

Adding a SIP User account


  • Under Third Party SIP Terminals enter the Directory Number, Name, and Profile for the SIP telephone.
  • Click Add followed by Save

The Password field can be left blank. When a password is entered, the SIP phone must register using this password.


Configure the SIP phone

You now have to log into the 3rd-party SIP telephone to configure the SIP account to register it with the Pulse Server station. The Directory Number and Password (SIP Account) created in the section above is used to register the 3rd-party station with the Pulse Server.

Telephone gateway

Before adding a Telephone Gateway to the system, you need to install a license for the gateway. When a valid Gateway license has been installed, the Gateways parameter will be available.

Create SIP Gateway Account


  • Under Gateways set the following values:
- Directory Number: 0
- Name: <name of your choice>
- Profile: Default
  • Click Add followed by Save

Note: Directory Number 0 is optional as you can use any number to make external calls through the Gateway

Configure the Telephone Gateway

Log into the Telephone Gateway to register it to the Pulse Server by using the SIP Gateway Account created in previous section.

Recommended gateways:

Zenitel Client

Up to 10 Zenitel Clients (formerly named VS-Client) (Softclient for Pulse) can be registered to a Pulse system.

Before adding Zenitel Clients to the system, you need to install a license. Each Zenitel Client requires a VS-Client license (item number 100 9661 101). When a valid VS-Client license has been installed, the VS-Client parameter will be available.

Adding VS-Client Account


  • Under VS Client enter the Directory Number, Name, and Profile for the client.
  • Click Add followed by Save

Pulse Trunking

Pulse Trunking makes it possible to call between different Pulse systems.

The Pulse Server must be a station in the Turbine family with software version 4.2.3.9 or higher. Note that Pulse Trunking is not supported when an INCA Station is used as Pulse Server.

Before adding Pulse Trunking to the system, you need to install a license. When a valid Pulse Trunking license has been installed, the Pulse Trunk parameter will be available.

Creating a Pulse Trunk Account


  • Under Pulse Trunk enter:
- Directory Start: Directory number of first station on other Pulse system site
- Directory End: Directory number of last station on other Pulse system site
- (Directory numbers must be globally unique for all stations in a multi-site Pulse system.)
- Name: Name of other Pulse system site
- Profile: Type of station
- Host: IP address of Pulser Server on other Pulse system site
  • Click Add followed by Save

Advanced Network Settings

Time Settings

The user is able to configure time by either enabling NTP and specifying NTP server, or setting up time manually. On Master stations with display the configured time is shown on display.

See Time Settings for details.

Firewall

All IP Stations have an embedded firewall. See Firewall for details.

SNMP

A set of SNMP functions are available in the IP station. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol for centralizing the management of devices in IP networks.
