The Turbine IP stations are configured both through their web interface and in AlphaPro. For station configuration, there are essentially three parameters to set:

  • AlphaCom IP address
  • Station directory number
  • Station IP address

Advanced configuration options as described in Advanced Configuration Options are not mandatory for the station to function properly

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.

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.

Note that the user interface and parameters displayed in the following sections are dependent on the Turbine station type (Compact, Industrial or Ex) selected.

Main Settings for Compact Stations

  • Click Station Main > Main Settings to access the page for configuring station mode and IP parameters.

Station Mode

  • Select the Use Alphacom radio-button

Turbine Frontboard Depending on the type of Turbine Compact station, select one of the options from the drop-down box:

- Kit
- Normal (TCIS-1, TCIS-2, TCIS-3)
- OLED Labels (TCIS-4, TCIS-5)
- Scrolling Station (TCIS-6)

Registration Settings

  • Enter the IP address of the AlphaCom server/exchange in which the IP station is to be a subscriber in the AlphaCom IP-address field.
  • Enter the directory no. of the station 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 AlphaPro.

IP Settings

  • DHCP – Select this option if the IP station shall receive IP Settings from a DHCP server.
  • Static IP – Select this option if the IP station shall use a static IP address. Enter values for:
- IP-address
- Subnet-mask
- Gateway
- DNS Server 1 (option for network administration)
- DNS Server 2 (option for network administration)
- Hostname (option for network administration)

Read IP Address

  • Check the Read IP Address box to enable an unregistered station to speak the IP address when the call button is pressed.

Click Save followed by Apply to apply the new configuration settings.

Main Settings for Industrial Stations

  • Click Station Main > Main Settings to access the page for configuring station mode and IP parameters.

Station Mode

  • Select the Use Alphacom radio-button

Product Model and Accessory Depending on the type of Turbine Extended station, select one of the options from the drop-down boxes:

Model:

- Kit
- TFIE-1
- TFIE-2

Accessory:

- Turbine Handset
- Handheld Microphone
- Turbine Headset

Audio Level:

- Enable full audio output

It is recommended to use an external power supply if full audio output is enabled. If the station is only powered by the PoE switch, full audio output may lead to a reboot of the switch.

Registration Settings

  • AlphaCom IP-address: Enter the IP address of the AlphaCom server/exchange in which the IP station is to be a subscriber.
  • Secondary AlphaCom IP-address: Enter the secondary IP address of the AlphaCom server/exchange in which the IP station is to be a subscriber.
  • Directory Number: Enter the directory number of the station.
- 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 AlphaPro.

IP Settings

  • DHCP – Select this option if the IP station shall receive IP Settings from a DHCP server.
  • Static IP – Select this option if the IP station shall use a static IP address. Enter values for:
- IP-address
- Subnet-mask
- Gateway
- DNS Server 1 (option for network administration)
- DNS Server 2 (option for network administration)
- Hostname (option for network administration)

Read IP Address

  • Check the Read IP Address box to enable an unregistered station to speak the IP address when the call key, number keys or DAKs are pressed.
  • Click Save followed by Apply to apply the new configuration settings.

Main Settings for Ex Stations

  • Click Station Main > Main Settings to access the page for configuring station mode and IP parameters.

Station Mode

  • Select the Use Alphacom radio-button

Product Model and Accessory Depending on the type of Turbine Extended station, select one of the options from the drop-down boxes:

Model:

- TFIX-1
- TFIX-2
- TFIX-3

Accessory:

- Turbine Handset
- Handheld Microphone
- Turbine Headset

Registration Settings

  • AlphaCom IP-address: Enter the IP address of the AlphaCom server/exchange in which the IP station is to be a subscriber.
  • Secondary AlphaCom IP-address: Enter the secondary IP address of the AlphaCom server/exchange in which the IP station is to be a subscriber.
  • Directory Number: Enter the directory number of the station.
- 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 AlphaPro.

IP Settings

  • DHCP – Select this option if the IP station shall receive IP Settings from a DHCP server.
  • Static IP – Select this option if the IP station shall use a static IP address. Enter values for:
- IP-address
- Subnet-mask
- Gateway
- DNS Server 1 (option for network administration)
- DNS Server 2 (option for network administration)

Read IP Address

  • Check the Read IP Address box to enable an unregistered station to speak the IP address when the call key, number keys or DAKs are pressed.
  • Click Save followed by Apply to apply the new configuration settings.

Advanced AlphaCom Settings

  • Select Advanced AlphaCom to access the page for configuring parameters for audio, I/O settings, OLED labels, address book, sound detection.

Audio Settings

To configure audio settings:

  • Select Advanced Alphacom -> Audio from the menu
Turbine config 4.PNG


  • Select or set values for the parameters:
- Microphone Sensitivity
- Automatic Volume Control
- Debug Automatic Volume Control
- Conversation Mode
- Audio profile
- Line Out Source

Microphone Sensitivity

- 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).

Volume Control Ch1 & Ch2

- 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.

Automatic Volume Control

- Check the box to enable automatic volume control that is adjusted according to the noise level

Debug Automatic Volume Control

- Check the box to show current volume level on OLED display

Conversation Mode 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

Line Out Source 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.

Audio Profile This parameter has the following options:

- Normal
- Noisy Environment
- Very Noisy Environment
- Advanced
  • Select Advanced to access additional and detailed menu options for audio settings such as noise and echo cancellation:
