Siemens Siveillance - Adding ONVIF compliant Zenitel devices
From Zenitel Wiki
This guide describes the process of adding Zenitel devices to Siemens Siveillance. It is assumed that Siemens Siveillance has already been setup and is operational and the user is familiar with the operation.
Introduction
Using the ONVIF S and T protocol, Zenitel audio and video intercoms, and IP speakers can be connected to Siemens Siveillance, enabling video and audio streaming, and event triggers. The Zenitel devices can run in any mode (SIP, IC-EDGE, AlphaCom, Zenitel Connect Pro).
Pre-requisites
- VS-IS 6.4.3.0 or later must be installed on the Zenitel Device
Functionality
- Device discovery
- Audio and video live streaming
- Bi-directional audio
- Audio and video recording
- Audio playback of pre-recorded messages from Siemens Siveillance to Zenitel devices
- Device digital input triggering events in Siemens Siveillance (Call button press)
Licensing
A camera license is required from Siemens for each Zenitel device that is connected to Siemens Siveillance.
If you are using Zenitel Connect Pro, 1 Zenitel Link license per system is required. If the device is connected without Zenitel Connect Pro, no license is required.
Configuration of the Zenitel Devices
Additional ONVIF configuration is available from the Web Interface of the device:
- To receive information about Call Button pressed, "Report DAK as Digital Input in ONVIF" option must be enabled in the Zenitel device prior to discovery.
- To receive information about Station Call Events (In Conversation, Ringing, In call queue), the "Report station events as Digital Input in ONVIF" must be enabled in the Zenitel device prior to discovery.
Add and configure Zenitel device
- Open Siemens Siveillance Management Client
- To add new camera devices, select Recording Servers, choose current PC, right-click and Add Hardware...
In the Add Hardware wizard, there are different options on how add devices.
- Use Express method for ONVIF WS-discovery of Zenitel stations.
- Alternatively, you can choose Manual to add the Zenitel station if you already know its IP address.
- Under Protocol, select HTTP (unsecure)
- Add a new line and edit the credentials to match the default credentials admin & alphaadmin. Then press Next.
- Press Next, and discovery will start and it will find the device.
- Press Next, and Siemens Siveillance will discover the camera, audio and I/O on the device.
- Press Next, and you can enable additional "devices", such as microphone or relay.
- If you want to receive audio from the device, ensure that Microphone option is Enabled.
- If you want to send audio from the device, ensure that Speaker option is Enabled.
- If you want the ability to receive inputs of the device, ensure that Input option is Enabled.
- If you want the ability to operate relay of the device, ensure that Output option is Enabled.
- The devices must be added to a group for it to be selectable.
- Select a device group which was previously defined; if no group has been defined yet, define a group.
