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''

Choose one of the links above according to what mode you need to configure.
The Turbine Stations are connected to the AlphaCom XE server/exchange which is the heart of the VINGTOR-STENTOFON security and communication system. The communication between the AlphaCom XE exchange and the Turbine Stations utilize the VINGTOR-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.

To log into the station:
 
:1.  Click '''Login'''
 
: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 and status.

==Audio Settings==
 
To configure audio settings:
 
* Select '''Advanced Alphacom -> Audio''' from the menu
 
[[File:Turbine config 4.PNG|thumb|left|500px]]
 
<br style="clear:both;" />
 
 
 
* Select or set values for the parameters:
 
::- Microphone Sensitivity
 
::- Automatic Volume Control
 
::- Debug Automatic Volume Control
 
::- Conversation Mode
 
::- Audio profile
 
::- Line Out Source
 
 
 
'''<u>Microphone Sensitivity</u>'''
 
::- Select the sensitivity level in the range 0 to 7 from the drop-down box. The default setting is 5.
 
''If used as a local PA panel, a setting in the 1 to 3 range will reduce the chance of acoustic feedback (howling).''
 
 
 
'''<u>Volume Control Ch1 & Ch2</u>'''
 
::- Offset Gain (default routed to Amplifier/Speaker)
 
::- Valid range: -62 to +24 dB
 
'''''This feature must be used with caution as incorrect settings may severely degrade the performance of the echo-cancelling algorithm.'''''
 
 
 
'''<u>Automatic Volume Control</u>'''
 
::- Check the box to enable automatic volume control that is adjusted according to the noise level
 
 
 
'''<u>Debug Automatic Volume Control</u>'''
 
::- Check the box to show current volume level on OLED display
 
 
 
'''<u>Conversation Mode</u>'''
 
For this parameter, there are five options:
 
::'''- Full Open Duplex''': normal mode with echo cancellation
 
::'''- Robust Duplex''': Option used when open duplex fails due to excessive speaker loudness, microphone overload or very high nonlinear distortions.
 
::'''- Half Duplex Switching''': switches speech direction depending on who speaks the loudest
 
::'''- Push-To-Talk''': f-duplex communication. Initially the microphone is shut off. Push the M-button to open the microphone, and release to listen. (Only applicable to stations with M-key)
 
::'''- Open''': Full Open Duplex without echo cancellation
 
 
 
'''<u>Line Out Source</u>'''
 
This parameter can play audio either from VoIP signal ('''Speaker''') or directly from '''Microphone'''.
 
 
 
The parameter sets the source for the '''Line Out''' signal accessible on the I/O terminal bank. The '''Line Out''' signal can either be the incoming signal ('''Speaker''') or the signal picked up by the Microphone ('''Microphone''').
 
 
 
When used with an external amplifier (and speakers), use '''Speaker'''. When using the built-in microphone as an input to another system, use '''Microphone'''.
 
 
 
'''<u>Audio Profile</u>'''
 
This parameter has the following options:
 
::- Normal
 
::- Noisy Environment
 
::- Very Noisy Environment
 
::- Advanced
 
* See also [[Turbine Audio Profiles]]
 
 
 
* Select '''Advanced''' to access additional and detailed menu options for audio settings such as noise and echo cancellation:
 
[[File:TCIS Configuration-7.PNG|thumb|left|500px]]
 
<br style="clear:both;" />
 
'''Note!''' These parameters are optional.
 
 
 
The functions and default values for each parameter are described under '''Advanced Audio Settings'''.
 
 
 
==I/O Settings==
 
* Select '''Advanced AlphaCom > I/O Settings''' from the menu
 
[[File:TCIS Configuration-8.PNG|thumb|left|500px]]
 
<br style="clear:both;" />
 
 
 
* Select either '''Input''' or '''Output''' options from the drop-down box for '''I/O Pins''' 1 to 6.
 
 
 
==OLED Labels==
 
Applies to TCIS-4 and TCIS-5. See article '''[[OLED Labels]]''' for more details.
 
 
 
==Keyboard Settings==
 
'''Note!''' This menu option is only available for TFIE/TFIX stations.
 
* Select Advanced AlphaCom -> Keyboard Settings from the menu
 
[[File:TFIE Keyboard.PNG|thumb|left|500px]]
 
<br style="clear:both;" />
 
The keyboard layout was changed and by inspecting the PCB number it will reveal the type of keyboard to use.
 
* PCB 8127_2 = Keyboard Type 0: Turbine Extended Keyboard Matrix
 
* PCB 8127_1 = Keyboard Type 1: Turbine Extended Old Keyboard Matrix
 
The PCB number can be found by opening the front and looking at the top of the keyboard PCB.

<br style="clear:both;" />
 
 
 
==Address Book==
 
Applies to TCIS-6 and TCIV-6. See article '''[[Address Book]]''' for more details.
 
 
 
==Sound Detection==
 
The Sound Detection, also known as Voice Activity Detection (VAD) samples the audio level from the microphone located in the IP Station. If the audio level meets defined criterias an action in AlphaCom can be triggered.
