The integration is seamless, providing a user-friendly experience and improving overall security. The integration is done via SIP protocol, which enhances communication between the two systems. This means you can now control access to your building using Gallagher's powerful security features and manage intercom calls from the same platform.

Command Centre Configuration Client

  1. To install the Command Centre SIP interface, refer to the SIP integration release note, which is available from the Command Centre software media, location: vEL8.90.xxxx\Utilities\SIP Service 8.90.23\Release Note SIP Integration v8.90).pdf

  7. In the Device URI field, enter the uniform resource identifier (URI) that has been configured on the SIP device.

    Format: sip:device logical address@device IP address:port, e.g. sip:10001010101@192.168.10.60:5060, where

    10001010101 > Device Number = 1

    10001010101 > Building Number = 0001

Configuring BAS IP panel to call Gallagher Server

Be sure that SIP is disabled as the Command Centre is not a SIP server. It is an endpoint or client for peer-to-peer communication between the Command Centre & BAS-IP panels.

A call to the Gallagher server can be initiated from the concierge button, so open the BAS-IP web interface > Panel tab > Call setting section. Enable the concierge button and enter the SIP address for calling Gallagher in the following format: sip:000@ip_address (i.e. Command Centre Server IP Address or where the SIP Service has been installed).


All identifiers except Face ID, QR-Code, and Pin-Code are forwarded to the Gallagher ACS where a decision about opening the door or not is made.


Also, you can create a forwarding queue with the SIP address for calling Gallagher. In the corresponding section of the web interface, add a new forward and indicate the following info: 

  • apartment number that consistes of the panel full logical address (indicated in the Panel tab);
  • forward number that is SIP address for calling Gallagher in the following format: sip:000@ip_address (i.e. Command Centre Server IP Address or where the SIP Service has been installed).
