FAQ (IC-Edge)

What is the IC-EDGE Controller?

One of the intercom stations must be set as the "Edge Controller". The Edge Controller is acting as a server for the other intercom stations in the system. Most Zenitel IP devices can act as an Edge Controller, see full list here.

The Edge Controller must have a static IP address (not dynamically assigned via DHCP).

Will I need software licensing once my software grace period expires?

This will depend on what type of devices are connected, and what type of features are being used.

The following does not require a license, and will continue to operate after the 60-days grace period expires:

• Intercom devices (Stations, VoIP kits etc) - the first 32 devices do not require any license
• Zenitel Clients
• Integration to SIP Provider using the IP Telephony service
• Edge trunking - interconnection of multiple Edge systems

The following does require a license, and will seize to operate when the grace period expires if there is no license present:

• Additional intercom devices beyond the quantity of 32. Maximum 64 devices in total.
• 3rd Party SIP devices.
• Telephone gateways.

I am having issues getting my ITSV-x video phone programmed and registered

The ITSV is not automatically recognized by the Edge Controller. The ITSV must be manually added to the Edge Controller

• ITSV-4 (Edge)
• ITSV-5 (Edge)

Note that the ITSV-x cannot be used as an IC-EDGE controller.

I can’t get my call button on my TCIS/TCIV to call the ITSV-x?

By default call buttons aren't programmed on IP substations as the programming of DAK keys and Ringlist is done via Edge Controller

Does door opening on IP substations work by default? What digit do I use to activate door opening?

By default digit 6 will activate relay for door opening from ITSV-1 or from any IP master station during conversation. Relay will activate for 3 seconds

Door Opening feature (Edge)

How do I find out my IP address on my TKIS-2?

By default when you receive a TKIS-2 the IP address will be DHCP. This can make it difficult to know the IP address assigned to the unit.
An easy way to find out the IP address is to connect a speaker to the speaker output (8 ohm or higher), and a momentary closure between ground and any of the 6 inputs/outputs on the unit.

TKIS Connections

How do I default my TCIS/TCIV/TMIS station to factory default? Static & DHCP

Instructions on how to factory default your Turbine IP station is found in the link below.

What is the default username & password to access the web interface of my IP station?

All VS IP stations use the same default username and password to access the web server. You may use any web browser such as Firefox, Chrome or Microsoft Edge to access the web server.

Factory default values

• Station IP address: 169.254.1.100 (Default static IP address) or determined by DHCP server. If no DHCP server is available, it gets a random 169.254.x.x address.
• Username: admin
• Password: alphaadmin
• Mode of operation: Edge

How do I set my station to be the Edge Controller?

Most Zenitel IP devices can act as an Edge Controller, see full list here. There can only be one Edge Controller per system and it must be assigned a static IP address.

See Getting Started (IC-Edge) to get a step by step guide to aid you on the complete setup of your IC-EDGE system which provides you information on set a station to be the Edge Controller.

Is it possible to have remote relays to do door opening function?

For security reasons it is beneficial to have a remote relay contact related to a door station instead of using the relay on the door station itself.

Operating the relay of a Remote Device

Controlling Remote Relay unit in safe area.

For security reasons it might not be desired to use the relay of the door intercom itself, but instead control the relay of a remote relay unit located in a safe area.

From the link it is explained under heading of operating a relay of a remote device
