IP Desktop - Video Module Configuration
From Zenitel Wiki
This article describes how to configue the LCD Video module of the IP Desktop Video Station. The Video Module has its own IP address, separate from the audio part of the station.
The default IP address of the Video Module is 169.254.1.101.

Login
The Video Module has its own IP address, and is configured separately from the station.
- Touch the upper part of the LCD touch screen for a few seconds to read the IP address.
- Enter the IP address (e.g. "169.254.1.101") in a web browser and log on the the video part of the desktop station.
- Enter user name (default: admin) and password (default: alphaadmin)
Network
From the main menu, click on Network, and configure the station to use DHCP (obtain an IP address automatically) or Manual (Static IP address).
Cameras
The video is streamed in MJPEG format directly from the camera to the Video Module. The server to which the station is registered is not involved in the video stream. The cameras must have a static IP address.
The directory number of the Video Door Station must be defined in camera allocation list, together with the URL of the camera. When a call is received, the station will look up in this camera allocation list, and find the correct URL for the associated camera.
To access the camera allocation table, select Cameras from the main menu. Up to 80 cameras can be configured in this table.
Passcode
By using the menus on the LCD touchscreen, it is possible to view a camera image from idle, without any calls being active. The Passcode is an up to 10 digit long numeric code for restricting the access to the camera image. If Passcode is required or not, is a setting per camera in the Camera Allocation table.
Camera Types
There are two predefined Camera Types, Baudisch and Axis. In addition there are 3 empty fields in which one can define additional camera types and their URL. This is the case when using TCIV stations (Turbine with Video).
Camera Allocation

How to manually select video image
Touch on the upper part of the LCD screen to get the Option Menu.
At the bottom of the option screen there are four buttons for the following functions:
Cam Select: Press this button to get a list of defined cameras. A touch on a camera entry shows the camera stream for 60 seconds. A touch on the screen during this 60 seconds will stop the stream and jump back to "Cam Select" screen. If the camera is configured to require Passcode authentication, you need to enter the code to access the video stream.
Enable/Disable Cam switching: If more than one camera has been allocated to a remote station the display will switch between the allocated cameras every 5 seconds. This feature can be enabled/disabled here.
Enable/Disable Screensaver; avoid total switch off: If this function is enabled, the Screensaver does not switch off the display after a period of inactivity. Only the Backlight is dimmed.
Back to Main Screen: A push on this button will jump back to the Main screen.
Troubleshooting
Observation: Desktop Video Station flash yellow and red, does not display text, and will not show video on the screen (even though registered). Audio is functioning normally as calls can be made and received
Cause: The IP station is most likely in “Debug” mode, thus set to the wrong baud rate for the serial communication between the IP Station and the Video Module. 115200 baud is used for debugging, while 38400 baud is for normal operation.
Fix: Use a webbrowser and enter [station IP address]/goform/zForm_misc. Set Baudrate to 38400, and click RS232 for application.
Note that there is no feedback on current settings. Remember to perform application reset to make the changes take effect.
