This article shows how to configure the Address Book of the Turbine station models TCIS-6, TCIV-6 and TFIE-6 when used in an IC-Edge System. The Address book is used to preload the station with a set of entries that you can select using the Scroll buttons on the station.

The configuration of the Address Book is done at the Edge Controller, which will push configuration to the Turbine stations. There is no need to log on to each individual station.

Log on to the Edge Controller.
Select Edge Controller > Server Configuration > Directory. You should now see a list of all stations on the network.
To identify the individual stations, click Play Tone. You will now hear a tone in the loudspeaker of the station you selected.
Enter 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. When using Static IP addresses, make sure to enter an unique IP Adress for each station.
Optionally one can add a SIP Password. If a password is entered, it will automatically be applied to the devices. The password is used for the registration proccess.
Click Save. This will immediately push the settings to all stations.

In AlphaCom mode, select Advanced AlphaCom > Address Book, or
In SIP or Pulse mode, select SIP Configuration > Address Book
