The [[:Category:Stations#Turbine_stations|Turbine Intercom stations]] can be set to operate in one out of three different modes:
The Turbine IP stations are configured both through their web interface and in AlphaPro. For station configuration, there are essentially three parameters to set:
+
* [[IP Station Configuration - ICX-AlphaCom mode|ICX-AlphaCom mode]]
*AlphaCom IP address
+
* [[SIP Intercom Configuration|SIP mode]]
*Station directory number
+
* [[Getting Started (IC-Edge)|Edge mode]]
*Station IP address
 
''Advanced configuration options as described in Advanced Configuration Options are not mandatory for the station to function properly''

=Starting Up the Station=
+
Choose one of the links above according to what mode you need to configure.
The Turbine Station features an embedded web interface, which allows users to log in via a standard web browser.  
 
  
To start up the station, your PC and the IP station have to be connected together via a PoE switch using network cables:
 
:1.  Connect the PC to the PoE switch
 
:2.  Connect the PoE port on the IP station to the PoE switch

When the Turbine Station is connected to the network, the '''IP address''' of the station is automatically obtained in one of two ways:
 
1.  An IP address is obtained from a '''DHCP server''' if there is one.
 
2.  If there is no DHCP server, an IP address in the range '''169.254.x.x''' will be assigned.
 
  
To make the station speak its IP address:
+

* Press the '''call buttonon''' the station

<br style="clear:both;" />
 
:- when the station is not yet registered
 
 
 
At commissioning, the IP station needs to be configured to enable it to be used as:
 
* station subscribed to an AlphaCom server
 
* SIP station
 
* Pulse station
 
 
 
=AlphaCom Configuration=
 
The Turbine Stations are connected to the AlphaCom XE server/exchange which is the heart of the STENTOFON security and communication system. The communication between the AlphaCom XE exchange and the Turbine Stations utilize the STENTOFON CCoIP® protocols. The AlphaCom XE server/exchange includes all main service configurations for the IP stations and only a minimum configuration is needed to be carried out on the actual station.
 
 
 
==Logging into the Station==
 
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 the station IP address and press the ENTER key
 
::- The station login page will be displayed.

'''<u>Network Access Control</u>'''
 
IEEE 802.1X is an IEEE Standard for Port-based Network Access Control (PNAC). By “port” we mean a single point of attachment to the LAN infrastructure. It provides an authentication mechanism to devices wishing to attach to a LAN, either establishing a point-to-point connection or preventing it if authentication fails.
 
802.1X Network Access Control is configured from the IP station web interface.
 
* Select '''Advanced Network -> 802.1X''' from the menu.

<br style="clear:both;" />
 
 
 
The radio-button list lets the user choose the authentication method to configure.
 
 
 
The different authentication methods are:
 
* MSCHAPV2
 
* MD5
 
* TTLS with PAP
 
* PEAP with MSCHAPV2.
 
 
 
'''MSCHAPV2''' and '''MD5''' will encrypt the password.
 
 
 
'''TTLS with PAP''' and '''PEAP with MSCHAPV2''' will encrypt both the '''Username''' and '''Password'''.
 
 
 
The parameters to configure depend on the authentication method:
 
 
 
'''802.1X status''': Enable or disable 802.1X.
 
 
 
'''Username''': The user name that identifies a station.
 
 
 
'''Password''': The password associated with the user name.
 
 
 
'''Fake username''': The fake user name sent outside of encrypted tunnel with '''TTLS with PAP''' and '''PEAP with MSCHAPV2'''. The user name is encrypted.
 
 
 
If '''TTLS with PAP''' or '''PEAP with MSCHAPV2''' is chosen, a certificate must be uploaded to the station by clicking '''Browse'''. The certificate must either be in Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) or Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) format, and it must be named ''certificate.pem''.
 
* Click '''Save''' to save the current settings
 
* Click '''Reboot'''
 
::- The new 802.1X settings will only come into effect after the reboot.
