From Zenitel Wiki
Contents
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.
