IP SubStation with Video and Inductive Loop

Designed to meet the needs of a building management system, the IP video and audio solution works without video server and meets the Handicap standards. This unit blends in perfectly with the STENTOFON IP system and will therefore integrate with most security systems. The IP Intercom Station is equipped with an inductive loop for deaf persons and a back-lit and embossed call button for visually impaired people.

The video and audio IP Intercom unit is the only station in the market that offers VoIP audio, IP video and an Inductive Loop in one box! As it has onboard video there is no need to integrate it with an IP CCTV network and there is no additional cost for licenses (not needed). The HD audio quality, the ability to have an unlimited number of stations and the ease of installation allow this product to integrate effortlessly with public buildings.

Configuration

For camera configuration see IP Video Substation

IP and Server settings

The station must be given an IP address, either static or one provided by a DHCP server. In addition the IP address of the AlphaCom and the directory number must be set. This is all done in the inbuilt webserver.

For more details, please see: IP Station IP and Server configuration

Call button

Normally an IP Substation uses DAK 1 as the call button. In the IP SubStation with Video and Inductive Loop the call button is DAK 11. To configure DAK 11 use AlphaPro and select the user you want to configure. Give the IP SubStation a name and Directory number as per you requirement. Proceed to click the DAK button in the lower left corner.

A new window appear. Select the DAK 11-20 tab, and put in the call number on DAK 11.

LED Indications/Pictograms

The three pictograms on the frontplate has each their own LED to indicate status.

• The "bell" - Indicates that the station is ringing - active status shown by an amber LED
• The "head" - Indicates that the station is in conversation with the other party - active status shown by an amber LED (the LED actually shows that the microhpone is live)
• The "door" - Indicates that the door lock realy has been activated, and that the door can be opened - active status is shown by a green LED

To achieve this behaviour some extra event handler programming using the IND command must be performed. If there are more than one IP Substation with Video and Inductive Loop in the system it is wise to group these stations using the UDP functionality to ease programing considerabily.

The "bell" LED

The "bell" LED is used to indicate that the station is in ringing mode. This mode can be achieved in two ways:

1: The called station is in private

2: The IP SubStation makes a Call Request to another station, thus putting the IP SubStation in Call Requester Mode

Depending on the two variants, one of these two following event can be used:

---

Event 1 - When the IP SubStation makes a normal call, and the other party is set to Private. (DAK 11 is programmed to I133)

Event Owner:	Stations w. UDP, Id: 2 (Stations w/monitor)
Event type:	9 – Private Ringing Mode
Subevent:	n/a
When change to:	ON or OFF
When related to:	Stations w. UDP, Id: 1 (Stations w/cam)
Action:	IND %2.phy 1 2 1

---

Explanation: The event will trigger when a station (the related to) calls a station (the owner) which is in private mode. The owner station will then ring, and the ringing is also heard in the related to station (the initiator).

IND %2.phy 1 2 1 commands station %2.phy (which is equal to the physical number of the related to station) to turn on (or off, depending on the "When Change To" state) the amber LED to the "bell"

---

Event 2 - When the IP SubStation makes a call request. (DAK 11 is programmed to I623 I133)

Event Owner:	Stations w. UDP, Id: 1 (Stations w/cam)
Event type:	11 – Call Requester Mode
Subevent:	n/a
When change to:	ON or OFF
When related to:	All
Action:	IND %1.phy 1 2 1

---

Explanation: The event will trigger when a station (the owner) makes a call request to another station (the related to). The owner station will then be put into Call Requester Mode and ring.

IND %1.phy 1 2 1 commands station %1.phy (which is equal to the physical number of the owner of the event) to turn on (or off, depending on the "When Change To" state) the amber LED to the "bell"

The "head" LED

The "head" LED is used to indicate that the station is in conversation mode. This mode can be achieved in two ways:

1: The IP SubStation has made an ordinary call = Conversation Outgoing

2: The IP SubStation has made a Call Request to another station = Conversation Incoming

Depending on the two variants, one of these two following event can be used:

---

Event 1 - When the IP SubStation makes a normal call, and the other party answer. (DAK 11 is programmed to I133)

Event Owner:	Stations w. UDP, Id: 1 (Stations w/cam)
Event type:	8 – Conversation Outgoing
Subevent:	n/a
When change to:	ON or OFF
When related to:	All
Action:	IND %1.phy 1 1 1

---

Explanation: The event will trigger when a conversation is established between the owner and another station.

IND %1.phy 1 1 1 commands station %1.phy (which is equal to the physical number of the owner station) to turn on (or off, depending on the "When Change To" state) the amber LED to the "head"

---

Event 2 - When the call request form the IP SubStation is answered. (DAK 11 is programmed to I623 I133)

Event Owner:	Stations w. UDP, Id: 1 (Stations w/cam)
Event type:	7 – Conversation Incoming
Subevent:	n/a
When change to:	ON or OFF
When related to:	All
Action:	IND %1.phy 1 1 1

---

Explanation: The event will trigger when a call request from the station (the owner) is answered by the other party. The conversation is then actually set up by the pther party, thus making it an incoming conversation for the event owner.

IND %1.phy 1 1 1 commands station %1.phy (which is equal to the physical number of the owner of the event) to turn on (or off, depending on the "When Change To" state) the amber LED to the "head"

The "door" LED

The "door" LED is used to indicate that the onboard station relay is activated to operate the door lock. Unlike the previous events, this must be configured for each station individually.

---

Event 1 - When the related to station (the station with the monitor) dials 6 during conversation to operated the door, the onboard relay is operated, and the "door" LED is lit for 3.5 seconds.

Event Owner:	Stations Id, Id: 34 (134 Door Station)
Event type:	2 – Door Opening - During Connection
Subevent:	n/a
When change to:	ON or OFF
When related to:	All
Action:	RCO %1.phy ON 35
	IND %1.phy 2 2 1

---

Explanation: The event will trigger when 6 is dialed during conversation by the remote party. The event will turn on the RCO equal to the physical number of the event owner (the IP SubStation) for 3.5 seconds. In addition it will activate the green "door" LED for the duration of the event (default 3.5 seconds).
