In the tab, you configure settings for apartment, device, calls, and SIP calls.

Apartment Settings 

For correct panel functioning, you must enter information about its logical address:

  • panel operation mode (Unit mode must be selected for correct work);

  • building number; 

  • unit number; 

  • device number. 

If you have more than 1 entrance panel with the same logical address, you need to specify their device numbers, starting from 1 to 9.

On a multi-button entrance panel, each button corresponds to an apartment from 1 to N (depending on the model). To make a call between the panel and the indoor monitor by pressing the button of the required apartment, the panel and the monitor must have the same building and unit number in apartment settings. Also for monitors, you must indicate corresponding information about the floor, apartment, and device number.

According to the panel settings from the photo above, when you press the button of apartment No 1, located on the 1st floor of the 2nd unit, a monitor with 0001-02-00-01 logical address (number) will be called. Thus, the same logical address must be set in the monitor settings: building - 1, unit - 2, floor - 0, apartment - 1.

If there are no such settings, you must make forwarding queues for apartments with IP addresses or SIP numbers of monitors.

SIP settings

 These settings are required for the correct work of calls via SIP protocol. If you use the BAS-IP Link server we recommend configuring SIP settings remotely using the Link (via MQTT protocol) and then sending them to the device. 

Step-by-step guide how to get SIP nubmers and configure a panel for SIP calls if you use BAS-IP SIP server you can find here.

To configure SIP calls for the panel, you must enable device SIP registration and enter the following parameters: 

  • SIP server proxy that can be represented by both an IP address and a domain name;

Data format:

Before the proxy address, you must enter "sip:", e.g. sip:gb.sip.bas-ip.com. A full list of BAS-IP servers for each country is available here. 

If you use a third-party SIP server, you can also indicate a non-standard port in the format: 

sip:gb.sip.bas-ip.com:1506 where gb.sip.bas-ip.com is a SIP server proxy, 1506 is a non-standard port.

  • SIP server address that can be represented by both an IP address and a domain name, e.g. gb.sip.bas-ip.com;

  • user SIP number (up to 20 characters); 

  • SIP user ID (optional);

  • password for SIP number (up to 20 characters);

  • transport type: UDP/TCP/TLS. 

If connection with SIP server is lost, it will be automatically renew. You can set the re-registration interval (from 30-900 seconds) between attempts to renew the connection. 

Call settings 

At this part you can:

  • indicate the direction (number) to which the call will be made when pressing the connected call button; 

  • enable/disable autoanswer of all incoming calls;

  • enable/disable ending a call by pressing the button on the panel;

  • enable/disable automatic ending of call after opening a lock;

  • configure call max time in sec (up to 2 h period after which the panel automatically ends an outgoing call if there is no answer);

  • configure talk max time in sec (up to 24 h period after which the panel automatically ends the outgoing conversation).

Device settings

In this section you can: 

  • select preferred video quality (resolution) (320x240/640х480/1280х720);

  • select preferred RTP data profile;

  • adjusts a volume level of a panel speaker;

  • enter RTSP username (login to get access to a panel RTSP stream);

  • enter RTSP password (password to get access to a panel RTSP stream).

Relay settings 

Here you can select the initial state of the panel relay when the device is turned on. If you select Switch when the device is turned on, so the relay will switch the position to the opposite. The relay will return to its original position after turning off the panel. The relay will not switch the position when the device is turned on and off if the corresponding mode is selected.  

The feature is good when you want/don't to keep the lock open or closed (if an electromagnetic lock is used) if there is no device power supply.  

Camera mode 

Panel camera can work in 2 modes:

  • QR Recognition + RTSP: panel camera detects and scans QR code identifiers and provides an RTSP stream that can be recorded on NVR. This mode is recommended if QR codes are used as identifiers;

  • RTSP server: panel camera only provides an RTSP stream that can be recorded on NVR. So, the camera is used as an additional surveillance camera.

Also, you can configure the backlight and set the following parameters:

  • the illumination level (0-255) at which the camera switches to the black and white mode and the backlight turns on; 

  • backlight operation duration from 0 to 600 sec;

  • a number of frames (0-100) during which the illumination level is measured to switch between the black or white mode.
