Description:
The purpose of this application is to provide detailed
instructions on configuring intercom and paging functions between OmniTouch 7
touchscreens and supported door stations. The application will provide the
following features:
- Touchscreen-to-Touchscreen Intercom
·
Any touchscreen will be able to call any other
individual touchscreen and perform two-way communications. A proper scenario would be to use a
touchscreen located in one area of the residence, to call a touchscreen in
another area of the residence without announcing over all other touchscreens.
- Page
a Group of Touchscreens
·
Any touchscreen will be able to call a specific
group of touchscreens to make an announcement (one-way call). A proper scenario
of this would be the homeowner paging everyone in the home to announce that
it's dinner time.
- Door
Station Call
·
When a door station is rung, it will notify a
specific group of touchscreens with a preview of the door station's camera
feed. If any of the touchscreens answers, it will establish a video call with
that door station and stop ringing the other touchscreens.
·
OmniTouch 7 has to know if a door station is
calling it and its make (2N or other door station), in order to display the
video preview.
·
Multiple door stations will be supported.

Device
Configuration:
SIP Server
The following instructions are a general overview for
configuring a SIP server:
- Set
up the SIP server on the local network. A static IP address
must be used.
- Create
extensions for every touchscreen and door station.
- Each
extension requires a username and password. Any password may be used for
each device, but they can all use the same password for simplicity.
- Be
sure that each extension has H.264 video support enabled.
- Create a ring group extension for all of the touchscreen
extensions. This extension will be used by the door station(s).
- Create a
paging group extension for all of the touchscreen extensions. This
extension will be used to page all touchscreens from one of the
touchscreens.
PC Access
**** CRITICAL NOTE– before performing any of the following
steps, use the “Check for Updates” feature in PC Access to obtain and install
the latest updates for PC Access, the automation controller being used, and the
OmniTouch 7 touchscreens. Failure to
have all items properly updated will lead to unsatisfactory results.****
The OmniTouch7
update requires two separate firmware update to be applied, in this order using
PC Access:
·
OmniTouch 7”
Application Firmware 1.14
·
OmniTouch 7”
Kernel 1.2
****You can verify that each update is successful by entering the setup
screen and viewing the version numbers on the top left title bar.****
1. Open the controller’s PC Access file.
2. Click on Extended Setup and enter the
following:
a.
SIP Server Address – enter in the IP
Address assigned to the SIP server.
