NEW Jablocom Help Me! Kit

Introducing you to the new Jablocom Help Me! KIT which consists of a GSM desktop phone and a wearable panic button. This kit is ideal for the healthcare sector and for independent yet vulnerable relatives and friends who may need to reach out quickly for emergency help or assistance.

When the button is triggered it will send a message to the GSM desktop phone to make calls or send text messages to up to 5 contacts. The name of the person who has triggered the device will display on the phone making it practical for more users to be added.

A hypo-allergenic wristband means it will be suitable for almost everyone and with the option of wearing it like a watch or on a lanyard you can count on accessibility in an emergency.

End of life notice: T22PN and T28PN

There will be no further production or shipments of the Yealink T22PN and T28PN. Therefore both these models will be going end of life as soon as our current stock levels are exhausted. But we have for you an exciting new range of new products from Yealink.

T23GN
The T23GN has replaced the T22PN. The T23GN is an attractive alternative to the T22PN as it offers a new larger phonebook increased from 300 to 1000 entries, new dual coloured (red & green) LED buttons for more effective BLF and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports.

For the T28PN there is a choice of the T27PN or T29GN.

T27PN
The T27PN comes at a lower price point but with the advantage of 8 paperless functions keys which can be used for various programmable features including up to 21 BLFs.

T29GN
If you want to go up in the range the T29GN comes at a slightly higher price than the T28PN but offers a large colour screen, 10 paperless function keys which can be used for up to 27 BLFs. Plus it has Gigabit pass through and support for a Bluetooth headset via the BT40 Bluetooth Dongle.

Trade pricing and stock information is available from ProSys our reseller portal. If you are a telecoms service provider/reseller and you do not have access to ProSys or if you have any queries please contact the ProVu sales team on 01484 840048.

How to: 2N Video on Snom Screen

The 2N door intercoms have built in XML that allows you to stream the video feed from the camera directly onto the screen of a snom phone (760, 821, 870 models only).
This works by getting a static JPEG image and refreshing it frequently to make it appear as a video.

The URL you need to use is:

http://ip.addr.of.2n:80/enu/snom-video.xml

** Make sure to edit the URL so that it actually contains your 2N units IP address **

Now you need to browse to the web UI of your snom phone and add your 2N intercom to the directory. In the number field, enter the extension number of the 2N (the unit it presents as its Caller ID). Then in the Action URL field enter the URL shown above. Click the Add button to add the directory entry.

Now when you receive a call from your door intercom, the video stream will be shown on the display of your snom phone.

Please note, we recommend that you have the following firmware versions on each unit as a minimum:

Snom: 8.7.3.25
2N: 2.10

If you have any problems getting this to work, please email us at support@provu.co.uk.
