Installation

The table below is an overview of the main connectors involved when installing the IP Heavy Duty Station.

Note! To access these connectors the frontplate must be removed

LAN (P1)	10/100 Mbps RJ45 port for LAN (uplink) connection. Supports PoE (802.3af). Draws power from either spare line or signal line.
AUX (P2)	10/100 Mbps RJ45 port for auxilliary equipment such as PC or IP Camera.
Input/Output	Pluggable screw terminal
Local Power	Pluggable screw terminal, 17-27 VDC Idle 4W, max. 8W

Power Supply

The IP Heavy Duty Station supports Power over Ethernet (PoE, IEEE 802.3 a-f) where power can be drawn from either the spare line or signal line. If PoE is not available, the IP Heavy Duty Station can be connected to a local power. A 24 VDC power supply should be then used.

Connections

There are four connectors on the IP Station circuitboard, P1-P4:

P1 RJ45 LAN port is for connecting to the network and the AlphaCom Audio Server.
P2 RJ45 AUX port is for connecting to auxiliary equipment such as a PC.
P3 6-pin pluggable screw terminal for external connections:
- Pin 1/2: Connected to station loudspeaker. May also be used for 8-20ohm/2W external loudspeaker in parallel.
- Pin 3/4: Internal NO relay contact for door lock control etc.
- Pin 5/6: Connect 24VDC for station if PoE is not used.
P4 6-pin pluggable screw terminal for internal connections.
- Pin 1/4: Call button no.1.
- Pin 2/4: Call button no.2 or logical input.
- Pin 3/4: Connected to hookswitch (reed-switch)
- Pin 5/6: Station LED for call and message info. (Pin 6 is positive.)
TP1/2 0dB, 600ohm balanced audio output for connection to a power amplifier.

Note! The power amplifier input MUST HAVE AN INSULATED INPUT (trafo, capacitors, etc.).

WEB Configuration

The IP Heavy Duty Station have to be configurated by using a web browser:

WEB Browser

The IP Heavy Duty Station features an embedded web server, which allows users to log in via a standard web browser.
At commissioning, the IP Station needs to be configured to make it possible for the IP Station to subscribe to an AlphaCom Audio Server.
Connect both the PC and the IP Station to a PoE switch.
The factory default IP address of the Station is 169.254.1.100. In order for your PC to communicate with the Station it is necessary to change its Internet Protocol Properties to use an IP address that is in the same range as 169.254.1.100, e.g. 169.254.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0.
After the IP properties have been changed, access the Station by logging into the web interface using a standard web browser: 1. Open a web browser.
2. In the browser’s Address bar, type 169.254.1.100 and press the ENTER key
- The Station Login page is displayed:

To log in to the Station:
1. Click Unsecure Login (HTTP)
2. Enter the default User name: admin
3. Enter the default Password: alphaadmin
The Station Information page will now be displayed, showing the IP Station Configuration.
Use the menu bar at the top and the menus at the left to browse through the different pages.

CCoIP Configuration

Click Main Settings under Station Main to access the page for configuring IP parameters.

Station Mode

Select Use AlphaCom

Registration Settings

Enter the IP address of the AlphaCom Audio Server in which the IP Station is to be a subscriber in the AlphaCom IP-address field.
Enter the directory number of the telephone in the Directory Number field.

- If a directory number is not entered, the Station will register with its MAC address. The MAC address is found on the Station Information page and needs to be entered into the AlphaPro rogramming tool.
IP Settings

DHCP Use this option if the IP Station should receive the IP settings from a DHCP server.
Static IP Use this option if the IP Station should use a static IP address. Enter the IP address, subnet mask and gateway address.
Click Save followed by Apply to apply the new configuration settings.

Keyboard Configuration via WEB Browser

By default, the station is delivered with the correct keyboard configuration. If the station has been loaded with factory settings, the keyboard configuration need to be changed. This is done via the Station web server:
1. Navigate to the Advanced Configuration tab.
2. Select Keyboard from the menu on the left.
3. Select Keyboard Type 3
4. Press “Save Keyboard Config”

Override Amplifier

In the Station web navigate to Advanced Configuration -> Audio and enable the Override Amplifier Checkbox. Inside the IP Heavy Duty station there is an IP Substation motherboard. The audio to the handset is connected to the 0dBm output. This output is normally amplified and this amplifier must be disabled when the handset is liftet. Input 3 is activated by the hook switch, and checking this box, lowers the audio to the headset. While the handset is on-hook, the amplifier is active for use with external speakers. An External speaker is connected to the LS output (1,2) on connector P3.

AlphaPro Configuration

Hookswitch

The handset hook-switch is connected between Key3 and Common on terminal block P4 on the IP Station Board (Input 3). An event must be created that reports correct handset status to the AlphaCom. In Users & Stations, select the Events button, press Insert and enter an event with the following properties:

When input 3 is activated on station 144, the off-hook and on-hook status is reported to the AlphaCom

The action string is: %chg($HOFF %1.ref,$HON $1.ref)

Hotline Call

Enable the hotline function by selecting the hotline station in the listbox in Users & Stations, select the Station Type tab, and check the Hotline flagg:

Enable the Hotline Call flag

In Users & Stations, select the DAK button, and enter the call destination on DAK 7:

Call station 321 when lifting the handset

If the hotline call should generate a Call Request instead, enter "I 623 I xxx" on DAK 7, where xxx is the target station. If the Call Request should be cleared when replacing the handset, enter "I626 I xxx" on DAK 8, else leave DAK 8 blank.

Send Call Request to station 101 when lifting the handset, delete the Call request when replacing the handset

Hotline Call Delay

By default there is a 5.0 second delay from the handset is lifted until the call is placed. Often you want the call to be placed immediately. To change the delay time, select Exchange & System, System, Calls and Options.

Default hotline delay is 5.0 sec. Chenge from 50 to 0 for immediate call

Factory Default

It may be desired to reset an IP station to its original settings if, for instance, the password for the web server is forgotten.
The following procedure will reset the station to factory settings:

Keep the call button pressed while powering up the station.
When the station LED starts blinking, release the button after two blinks (four times to activate DHCP . Let it blink exactly two times, then press the button again.
The station LED will flash fast two times indicating a successful reset with static IP.
The button can now be released, and the station will come up with factory Settings.
