This article describes how to setup the STENTOFON DECT Server 2500 to work with the AlphaCom XE using the SIP protocol. The STENTOFON DECT Server 2500 (or the bigger module; 8000) is a DECT system that connects to the AlphaCom XE Audio Server through the SIP protocol. The DECT Server uses digital base stations. Main advantage is that the system is not reliant on synchronization like the STENTOFON IP DECT Server 6000 between bases.

The STENTOFON DECT Server 2500 has four card slots. In the 1st slot from the left the CPU card is installed, the 2nd slot holds the Media Resource card, slots 3 and 4 are used for other interface cards such as the digital base stations. Both the CPU card and the Media Resource card needs an ethernet connection, and its own IP address in the system.

Configuration example

Configuration of AlphaCom XE

Configuration of the AlphaCom XE depends on the software version in the AMC-IP board. You can find the latest versions on our downloads page.

Also see: SIP phone as station

AMC 10.56 and newer

  • AlphaPro software 10.56. or newer is required for the configuration
  • From the Users & Stations window in AlphaPro, select a user and enable the 'SIP station' flag
  • Configure Directory number and Display text
  • Select a supported codec for the SIP station to use
SIP phones are configured in the Users & Stations window


AMC 10.55 and earlier

The AlphaCom E needs to be configured with a SIP registrar node, and must be equipped with license for SIP stations.

Configuration of STENTOFON DECT Server 2500

Getting access to the embedded web server

Before the PC can access the IP Dect Server, the IP address of the PC must be changed to match the same subnet (for example 192.168.0.2). To access the embedded web server of the IP-Dect Server, start your internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) and in the address field enter 192.168.0.1. You will be prompted for a username and password.

Default:

Username: admin
Password: kws8000

The Service Report page should now be displayed.

  • Click Restart in the top menu
    • You need to change your computers IP address to match your new address in the server in order to enter the configuration again

Leave the rest to default settings.

Media Resource Network Configuration

All changes to fields marked with two stars need a reboot to take effect
Under the System tab go the Network page where you define IP settings for the Media Resource card in the STENTOFON DECT Server 2500.

Handset Registration and Subscription

This section provides information about handset registration and subscription. You must register and subscribe a handset before you can use it. When registering handsets you enter information about the handset settings (such as; the handset serial number (IPEI), name etc.) in the system database. When subscribing handsets you subscribe a registered handset to the system for usage. If the handset is not registered in the system database, subscription of the handset is not possible.

Registering IP-DECT Handsets

To register handsets you use the web based Administration Page of the STENTOFON DECT Server 2500. Each handset in the wireless solution must be programmed with the serial number (IPEI) before it can operate. This serial number must be registered in the web based Administration Page of the DECT Server. Serial numbers are a unique fingerprint of each handset. The serial number is programmed into the handset during the manufacturing process and cannot be changed by field personnel. The serial number can be found on a label beneath the battery or it can be viewed in the handsets display.

  • For Rough and EX handsets: press *99984*V
  • For Office handsets: press Menu, Status, Firmware version

The Serial number consists of 12 digits.

Log in to the DECT Server 2500 and go to the Users page.

DECT Handsets - List Page


  • Click Create New Registration
    • IPEI: the IPEI number (serial number) of the handset
    • Local Number (DN): the subscriber number the DECT should have in the AlphaCom
    • Name: the name of the handset as it appears in the database
    • Standby Text: the text that is displayed when the handset is on hook
    • Presentation Text: optional text that is sendt to caller
    • SIP Username: the subscriber number the DECT should have in the AlphaCom (field available after Line Type is selected)
    • Domain: the AlphaCom IP address
    • Line Type: set to SIP (makes it possible to type in the SIP Username)
Create New Handset page


  • Click Save to save the registration
  • Repeat for all handsets

Leave the rest to default settings.

Subscribing Rough and EX Handsets

  • Press MENU - go to MENU LOGIN.
  • Press V - go to SUBSCRIPTION CREATE to subscribe to a system.
  • Press V. The handset searches for the serial number of the system.
  • When the serial number of the system appears in the display, press V.

An antenna symbol appears on the display to indicate a successful subscription. If not, the subscription has failed and the procedure must be retried.

Subscribing Office Handsets

  • Press Menu to enter main menu.
  • Scroll to Settings and press Select.
  • Scroll to Advanced and press Select.
  • Scroll to Login and press Select.
  • Scroll to Create login and press Select. The handset will start searching for a system (*).
  • Scroll to the found system and press Select.
  • Press Ok.
*
The search for a system should result in a 11 digit number, the ARI.
The ARI number to the system you are configuring should match the ARI number in th Users page in the STENTOFON DECT Server 2500 webserver.
