How to receive an E-mail from a 2N Verso when button is pressed.

You are out of the office and only have access to E-mails but you still want to be notified when someone is at the front door. Creating this simple automation will allow you to receive an E-mail with the time and date of when someone presses the button on the 2N Verso. You can also get it to send you a picture of who it is that pressed the button.

Go on the 2N web-interface and go to Services (Purple tile) > Automation, from this page you will need to tick the box “Function Enabled” and fill in the “Object Type” and “Parameters” as seen below:

Event=1; Sender=2nVerso@frontdoor.com; Email=YourEmailAdress; Subject=Someone has tried calling you; (Subject can be changed to say what you want)

Go to the “E-Mail” tab, this is were you will need to put your smtp server address along with your email address and password. If you are using your gmail account then the smtp server and port are most likely going to be as follows:

For more information about the smtp server settings go to this page: https://wiki.2n.cz/hip/conf/latest/en/5-konfigurace-interkomu/5-4-sluzby/5-4-4-e-mail

You have now finished, you can now test this feature by pressing the intercom button and watch your inbox for the email to come through, as shown below: 

If you have any issue please contact our support team.

Cisco IP 8800 Key Expansion Module Key Programming

With the Cisco 8880 Expansion Module you are able to program keys to show names of other phone users.

The key settings can be found in the web interface of the phone on the “Unit1-3” tabs depending on how many extension modules you have.

 

The code to display a name on the extension module is “fnc=blf+cp;sub=5070@$PROXY;ext=5070@$PROXY;nme=Name”.

The “;nme=Name” is where you can type the text you want to appear on the extension module.

The “;sub=5070” and “;ext=5070” is where the extension number must go.

 

Distinctive ringing with Cisco phones

Both the older Cisco SPA range and the new CP range support distinctive ringing through the use of Alert-Info SIP headers.

The names to use can be found in the web interface for both phone types.  In the web interface, the settings are in the Voice section, phone tab, Ringtone heading.

On CP phones:

On SPA phones:

The important part for Alert-Info is the name part after “n=”.  The Alert-Info header must look like these examples:

Alert-Info:Mellow

Alert-Info:Simple-2

So simply put the name of the ringtone in the header and nothing else.  This is different to most phones (and actually not as specified in the SIP RFC) as they need to have a dummy URI inside them.

As an example, if you wanted to add this header in Asterisk, use the SIPAddHeader application:

SIPAddHeader(“Alert-Info:Mellow”)

In addition to this you could have a second Event that sends an email to you when motion is detected. This would be for extra security purposes and would capture a picture of who ever triggered the tamper switch. If you want to know how to do this click the link below:

Cisco SPA 525G2 ‘End of Life’ Notice

Cisco SPA 525G2 ‘End of Life’ Notice

The EU have amended their regulations on the Wi-Fi spectrum and this impacts all the countries that follow the European compliance for all products incorporating Wi-Fi including the UK.

The SPA 525G2 IP phone which has Wi-Fi, is not compliant with the new regulation and therefore Cisco will be withdrawing this model from the market by the end of May in order to comply with the EU regulation. We currently have a limited number of SPA 525G2 units available, however when these have been sold, we do not intend to place any further stocking orders.

Alternative Models with Introductory Offer!
The SPA 525G2 is a popular phone and is usually purchased either because of its multi-line colour display, bluetooth or because Wi-Fi is needed. The new Multiplatform 8800 product family offers valid replacements for all cases beginning with the 8841.

To ease the transition from the SPA 525G2 to the new Multiplatform range we have made some generously discounted sample units available for our resellers, allowing you to test the 8841 and 8861 phones on your platform and giving you the opportunity to see for yourself the commercial offering this new series of phones can bring to your portfolio.

For more information on this NFR sample offer or if you would like to discuss how these changes may affect any projects you are working on, please call the Sales Team on: 01484 840048 or you can email: contact@provu.co.uk.

Algo 8301 Multicast Line IN Audio

This guide is designed to show how to make an Algo 8301 multicast the audio it receives on the Line IN or AUX IN ports.

In this guide we will use two Algo 8301 units, the first as the Multicast sender and the second as the multicast receiver.

Configuring the Multicast Sender

Log in to the Algo 8301 Web GUI and change the following settings:

  • Basic Settings > Multicast
    • Multicast Mode = Master/Sender
    • Multicast Type = Regular (RTP)
    • Master Single Zone = Music
  • Additional Features > Input/Output
    • Audio Always On = Enabled
    • Audio Input Port = Aux IN or Line IN (depending on what port you are wiring your audio source to)

Configuring the Multicast Receiver

Log in to the second Algo 8301 Web GUI and change the following settings:

  • Basic Settings > Multicast
    • Multicast Mode = Slave/Receiver
    • Multicast Type = Regular (RTP
    • Basic Slave Zones = Tick “Music” box.

Thats It! Couldn’t be simpler. In my test, I chose the Audio Input Port as the Aux IN port, then connected my mobile phone using a normal AUX cable. I then connected some PC speakers to the Aux OUT port on the second Algo 8301.


When I played the music on my phone, it was played out over the speakers plugged in to the second Algo, which was receiving the audio over multicast.

This would be a great way to take an audio input source in one location, and broadcast the message across a large site with multiple speaker groups.
