Next up in our countdown to Channel Live is Yealink! With the show taking place later THIS MONTH, here’s a glimpse of what you can expect to see from Yealink on Stand 508.
The 2N team have had a busy start to 2023, with some big announcements. They’ve recently been approved by the UK Police Initiative as a member of the Secured by Design (SBD) and have released a new eBook about Access Control 3.0 which offers a unique look at the coming years and how you can capitalise on it. Read on to find out more.
2N products officially ‘Secured by Design’
2N prides itself on its product’s physical and cyber security. Their two key values which they strive to achieve in every device they produce. Having already achieved ISO27001 international certification, they have gone one step further and become a member of Secured by Design (SBD), part of the official UK police security initiative.
This is across all 2N IP intercoms, Access Unit 2.0, and Access Unit M readers installed with 2N Security Relay. This means that these devices are inherently secure, from high-quality hardware to the state of the art software.
Now you can be confident that you will always meet the highest security standards for access control systems.
Access 3.0 represents a fundamental shift in technology that signifies the end of the lock and key and moves to the new age of Internet-based access control. Whether that be IoT or Bluetooth, you will want a modern access control system to combine several recent technology trends to get the most out of your access control.
2N’s new eBook explores this idea and gives you the 7 pillars of Access Control 3.0 to make you an industry pioneer.
Display what you want, how you want. From custom colours to personalised layouts, additional information, and animation. The new 2N OS version 2.37 allows you to customise the display API for whatever your customer desires.
2N Mobile Video app is changing
The 2N Mobile video app will be changing to the My2N app. What does this means for you and your customers? It means a easier to navigate user interface, landscape mode for full-screen video calling, and new features to make access control smoother.
Looking to get started with IP door entry & access control? We offer a range of services to help support you. Get in touch today to discuss how we can help you to support your partner’s in upgrading their systems with minimal effort.
We’re delighted to have 2N joining us at Channel Live this year. Find out more about what to expect from them at this year’s show and what’s to come from them in 2023.

It is still possible to access the old-style web user interface of the D862 and D865 by navigating to the IP address of your phone with “http” and port “3112”:
Example: http://192.168.1.15:3112
Securing the old-style interface
Once you have accessed the old-style web user interface, it will display security advice where you can setup a HTTP user, HTTP Password and an administrator password to secure your device. If you accidentally navigate away from this page, you can go to ‘Advanced > QoS/Security’ and configure these settings from there:
How to login to the new web user interface and secure it.
You’ve received your new Snom phone, you’ve plugged it into the network, it has obtained its IP address. You enter this into your web browser and you are presented with this login page. There’s no default username or passwords here so go ahead and click the ‘Authenticate’ button to login.
Once logged in, you will see some warnings saying a password has not been set for the ‘admin’ and ‘user’ account. To configure these, go to ‘Security > Advanced’ and populate the fields below and click ‘Apply’.
New provisioning parameters for a new interface
Due to the Snom D862 and D865 having a new web user interface to manage the devices, there are also new provisioning parameters to secure them.
Turning off admin mode will restrict unauthorised access to admin settings such as performing a factory reset, changing SIP credentials etc.
Web user interface method
To turn admin mode ‘off’ via the web user interface go to ‘Advanced > QoS/Security’ and set “Administrator mode” to ‘off’ and click ‘save’. – Default pin is ‘0000’ but ensure this is changed to secure your phone even further.
Phone user interface method
You can turn ‘admin’ mode off on the phone user interface by accessing the following:
‘Menu > System > Administrator Access = Off > Save’

Have you considered the different opportunities UPS devices could bring to you and your customers?
As a low-cost investment, they can be a great addition to ensure business continuity in the event of a power outage. Whether you’re supplying to SMBs, or online streamers, discover how we can help you to keep them connected.
Where can they be useful?
Wherever power is required, there’s a UPS to suit. Regardless of the application, we can help you to ensure a continued power supply. Take a look at some of our suggested use cases.
Power cuts can result in hours of lost time and depending on the individual’s role a reduced service for your customer’s business. UPS devices can be used to provide battery back-up to routers and computers*, helping to avoid downtime.
Securing Premises
For premises with Failsafe locks, security may become compromised in the event of a power cut. Talk to us about how we can help you to assure premises remain secure at all times.
Online Streaming
Perhaps you supply to gamers who want to ensure their content streams are protected. A UPS device can be used to ensure an uninterrupted service.
Ofcom Regulations
UPS devices can also be a great option to ensure your services are compliant with Ofcom’s regulations. Find out more about the change in rules which will come into effect in 2025.
There are a wide range of devices available on the market, ranging from desktop devices for residential use, to rack mountable options for server rooms. Speak with a member of our team today to discuss your options and find the best devices for your application.
