Introduction

Article Scope

This article describes the interface of Vingtor-Stentofon ICX and AlphaCom XE platforms with OnGuard. OnGuard users will be able to configure ICX and AlphaCom XE as a communication platform from within OnGuard System Administration.

ICX and AlphaCom XE offer advanced communication and control capabilities. They provide the voice of security. This article includes descriptions of setup and configuration, operation, and any limitations and/or notes surrounding the solution. Setup and operation of ICX and AlphaCom XE are very similar, as ICX is built on the AlphaCom XE application software. Where this does not cause any confusion, only reference will be made to the ICX.

This article assumes that the reader is familiar with the setup of OnGuard and ICX.

Prerequisites

Pre-Installation Checklist

  • Use AlphaPro, the standard ICX programming tool to enter the parameters to enable communication between ICX and OnGuard.
  • ICX software has been upgraded to version 1.0.3.1 or higher
  • AlphaCom software has been upgraded to version 13.1.3.3 or higher
  • OnGuard software is an actively supported version
  • Zenitel intercom stations have been configured and point to the ICX
  • Programming of the exchange (if necessary)
  • OnGuard server configured on a compatible Operating System

Licensing

  • Maximum Number of Intercom Exchanges (SWG-1340) – Contact VAR or Lenel
  • ICX: 1002602400 - ILI-IF


Installation and Configuration

Install Accessory Add-On

  • Install x.x Zenitel ICX Accessory Add-On.msi, where x.x refers to the OnGuard software version

Note that when upgrading to a newer version of OnGuard, the Accessory Add-On installation needs to be performed again. All database information will still be present.

ICX System Configuration

Use AlphaPro, the standard ICX programming tool to enter the parameters to enable communication between ICX and OnGuard.

  • Go to Exchange & System > Serial Ports and set the following parameters:
    • MPC Data Protocol
    • TCP/IP server
    • Enter a Port number
      • In the screenshot, port 3001 is used as an example, and is also the default port configured in OnGuard
The port must be defined and opened in the ICX firewall


Use a web browser to log into the ICX webserver, (default username/password = admin/alphaadmin)

  • Select System Configuration > Filters
Enable the selected TCP port


If the port is not in the list yet, use Add Filter to define it. In the above screenshot, it has been defined with the name 3001 but any meaningful name can be given. Enable this TCP port on the relevant Ethernet port (Eth0 or Eth1).

Ringing Group

In order to have the full benefit of the integration between ICX and OnGuard, operator stations should be placed in a ringing group. This should be done even if there is only a single operator station.

There are 10 predefined ringing groups, with group numbers 51-60 and default directory numbers 6701-6710. If required, more ringing groups can be added as ICX handles up to 250 groups.

The screenshot shows 2 operator stations in the ringing group with default directory number 6701


Remote stations calling these operators must call 6701. Substations with only a single call button (Direct Access Key – DAK) must have DAK-1 programmed as I6701.

Set the DAK


Call Request Information

ICX must sent call request information to OnGuard. This is done by programming the ICX event handler:

Create Received Mail event


The action string for the above event is:

IF %2.dir

$MPC 2 "%chg(0296,0297) %2.dir(4,F) " ENDIF
