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:

Direct IP Call Between 2N Helios IP and Gigaset N510IP

Here is a short guide on configuring direct IP calling between a 2N Helios IP intercom, and a Gigaset N510IP. The same process will work with a Gigaset N300IP.

Both units need to be plugged in, and connected to the same network. You need to connect to the web interface of each device to configure them.

Step 1: Configure the Intercom

Go to Services > Phone and edit the Domain setting. You need to set this to the IP of the intercom itself, in our example this is 192.168.2.64

path3416

 

Then you need to add an entry to the directory, to call the N510

path3381

Here I have used 200 but you can choose any number, you will need to use this number later when configuring the N510. The IP address part must be the IP address of the N510 unit, in our example this is 192.168.2.38

Step 2: Configure the N510

Go to Settings > Telephony > Connections and Edit one of the Connections.

N510-Connection

Here you add the number that you chose earlier, and the IP address of the 2N intercom in the 3 boxes shown – Domain, Proxy Server and Registration Server. You do not need to enter a password as the N510 does not actually register to the 2N intercom.

Settings > Telephony > Advanced VoIP settings.

N510-SIP-Port

Here you set Use random ports for SIP to ‘No’, and set the SIP port to 5060.

Finally, you need to go to Settings > Telephony > Number Assignment and make sure that your handsets are set to accept incoming calls from the account/connection that you just created.

You should now be able to call to the Gigaset by pressing the button on the front of your intercom. If you are still having problems, please contact our technical support team.

How to set up Email notification from 2N movement detection

In case you didn’t know there is a feature on the 2N verso that allows you to receive an email notification that tells you when the camera has detected motion – This feature requires a gold or enhanced integration licence.

The camera on the verso will take screen shots of the object that has triggered the motion detection and attaches them to the email that the verso sends to you.

To do this, Go to “Services” (Purple Tile) > “Automation” and fill in the “Function Definition” with the following information below:

screenshot-from-2016-11-14-110450

 

 

 

 

 

 

Event.motionDetected and Condition.True you do not need a parameter (Condition.True is optional), the parameter for Action.SendEmail is: Event=1; Sender=2nVerso@frontdoor.com; Email=youremail@hotmail.co.uk; Subject=Motion has been detected; Body=Movement has been detected by the 2N Verso, see the following snapshot; Snapshots=1; Width=640; Height=480  (you can change the subject and the body to what you want your email to say)

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:

screenshot-from-2016-11-14-113436

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

The last step is to go to “Hardware” (Grey Tile) > “Camera” > Internal Camera tab at the top and then Enable “Motion Detection”

screenshot-from-2016-11-14-114438

You have now successfully set up Email notification from 2N movement detection, now when an object or a person passes in front of the camera you will get an email that looks like this:

Configuring the 2N Helios IP Uni with Panasonic KX-HDV130 with peer-to-peer dialling

We have recently been testing the 2N Helios IP Uni with the Panasonic KX-HDV130 entry level handset via peer-to-peer calling. After some very straight forward testing, we managed to get it working. You may use this scenario if you don’t want to involve an IP PBX.

Please note that this guide applies to the 2N IP range.

2N Helios IP Uni Configuration:

You will need to web browse to the IP address of the 2N Helios IP Uni which can be done by powering the unit via a Cat5e cable, then pressing the button on the unit five times once you have heard the initial startup tone. Then unit should then speak out the IP address of the unit to you.

Once you have obtained the IP address of the device, you will need to web browse to the IP address of the device e.g. ‘192.168.x.xx’. The default username is ‘Admin’ and the default password is ‘2N’. It is highly recommended that you change the default password before you start using the device.

Once you have logged into the web interface of the IP Uni, you will need to navigate to ‘Directory’ (blue tab), then make sure that the ‘Position Enabled’ field has a check in the box, then enter a relevant name in the ‘Name’ field under ‘User Basic Information’. Finally, you will need to enter the IP address of the Panasonic KX-HDV130. You can find out the IP address of the KX-HDV130 by navigating to ‘Menu’, ‘System Settings’, ‘Status’, ‘IPv4 Settings’, then ‘IP Address’ on the phone. The IP address should then be displayed on screen e.g. ‘192.168.x.xx’. The IP address should look something similar to ‘192.168.x.xx’ which needs to be inputted into the ‘Phone Number’ field under ‘User Phone Numbers’. It is important to make sure that you have included ‘sip:’ before inputting the IP address e.g. ‘sip:192.168.x.xx’. You will then need to apply the changes to the unit by clicking the ‘Apply’ button located at the bottom right hand side of the interface.

Please note that if you would like the ability to dial the extension number registered to the IP Uni, you will need to navigate to ‘Services’ (purple tab), then ‘Calls’ which is located at the top of the interface, then set ‘Call Answering Mode (SIP1)’ to ‘Automatic’ using the drop down list. You can then go ahead and apply the changes by clicking the ‘Apply’ button. You should now be able to dial ‘200’ from the KX-HDV130 and the Uni will automatically answer the call.

Panasonic KX-HDV130 Configuration:

You will need to start by finding out the IP address of the phone by navigating to ‘Menu’, ‘System Settings’, ‘Status’, ‘IPv4 Settings’, then ‘IP Address’. The IP address should then be displayed on screen e.g. ‘192.168.x.xx’.

You will then need to enable access to the web interface before you can web browse to the phone which can be done by navigating to ‘Menu’, ‘Basic Settings’, ‘Other Option’, ‘Embedded Web’ and then changing this setting to ‘On’. You can then go ahead and web browse to the phones IP address via a web browser of your choice e.g. Google Chrome.

When you browse to the IP address of the phone, you should be prompted to enter a username and a password. The default username is ‘admin’ and the default password is ‘adminpass’. Again, it is highly recommended that you change the default password before using the device.

You will need to click onto the ‘VoIP’ tab located at the top of the web interface, then click onto ‘Line 1’ which is located on the left hand sidebar under ‘SIP Settings’. Enter ‘200’ in the ‘Phone Number’ field, then the IP address of the IP Uni under ‘Registrar Server Address’. You will also need to enter the IP address of the IP Uni under the ‘Outbound Proxy Server Address’ and the ‘Service Domain’ fields. For the last two steps of the configuration for the KX-HDV130, enter ‘200’ in the ‘Authentication ID’ field and leave the ‘Authentication Password’ field blank.

That’s the end of the main configuration process for the 2N Helios IP Uni and the Panasonic KX-HDV130.
