Integration with Gallagher Security access control system

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.

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).

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).
