Exclusive Collaboration between 2N & Gigaset pro!


Following rigorous testing and collaborative working between Gigaset pro and 2N, both vendors have announced full compatibility between 2N’s door entry intercom units and Gigaset’s Maxwell 10 tablet-IP phone. Having also been tested by our very own technical team, we believe this is a great collaboration which provides the ultimate access control solution.

Gigaset Maxwell 10

Ideal as an access end point, the Gigaset Maxwell 10 is an all-in-one business communication device. With a large 10 inch HD multi-touch-screen, it makes access control safe and easy by displaying clear images, fed directly from 2N intercom units.


2N Verso

Developed as a modular system, the 2N Verso has great flexibility and can be configured to meet individual requirements. Verso modules can be configured to include:

  • Multiple buttons
  • Wide angled camera
  • Keypad
  • RFID reader

The Maxwell 10 and Verso combination offers the complete access control solution and we believe this new collaboration is a great package for both business and home automation applications.

Pricing and stock information is available to view on our reseller portal ProSys. If you are not a ProVu reseller and would like to become one, please complete our reseller application form.

How to page to the Snom D765 from the 2N Net Audio Decoder

You will need to open up the 2N IP Audio Control Panel on your PC, have your 2N Net Audio Decoder connected to your network and a functioning Snom D765. Click ‘Destination & Zones’ using the left hand sidebar, then click Create RTP destination again on the left hand sidebar. You can give the RTP destination a more meaningful name if you wish rather than ‘RTP destination 1’. For better quality sound, you should choose Linear PCM 16 bit Stereo (44.1kHz), then choose the IP address e.g. 239.255.1.10, then set the port number to 7000 and leave TTL as -1. You will then need to save your configuration using the ‘Save configuration’ button located near the top left hand side of the window.

After you have followed the previous steps, you will need to navigate to ‘Sessions’, then right click in the centre in the white space, and click ‘Create session’. On the left hand side, providing you have some media ready such as an Internet radio station, you will need to drag this into the new session you just created. The Internet radio station will then be displayed on the session. Finally, you need to drag the RTP destination you created earlier on, and drag this onto the ‘DESTINATIONS’ section on the session. That’s the main configuration complete for the 2N IP Audio Control Panel (2N Net Audio Decoder). The next step is to configure your Snom phone for multicast.

You will need to obtain the IP address of your Snom phone by pressing the Menu key, pressing key number 6, then pressing key number 2. This will show the System Info which will display the IP address of the phone e.g 192.168.1.64

Web browse to the IP address of the phone using your web browser. You may be prompted for a username and password which you may not know about. If this is the case, you will need to consult your system administrator. By default, there is no username and password set, if this is the case, you should see the Snom web interface.

That’s the end of the configuration process. All you need to do now is go back to the IP Audio Control Panel, click ‘Sessions’, then ensure MASTER CONTROL and Internet radio station is set to on and the volume bar is up. The radio station should now page to your Snom phone.

Renaming of 2N’s IP Audio Products

2N has announced some changes to product names in their IP audio devices portfolio. The new product names better reflect the feature set of the individual products, so will give a better indication as to what the products do. Please note; only the naming has changed, the order codes will remain the same.

There will be a cross-over period in this time it may mean that although the product name has changed the items you and your customer receive may still have the old names.

Below is a table outlining these name changes:

New name Old name
2N Net Audio Decoder 2N NetSpeaker
2N Net Audio Encoder 2N NetStreamer
2N Net Mic 2N NetMic
2N Net Speaker 2N IP Speaker
2N SIP Audio Converter 2N SIP Speaker
2N IP Audio Manager 2N NetSpeaker Server SW

2N Licenced Features

I have had a growing number of enquiries recently regarding licences for 2N intercoms and what they do and what they will allow the user to do.

With this in mind, we have set about creating a new information page detailing everything you could ever want to know about 2N’s licences.

http://www.provu.co.uk/2n-licences.html

These licences have been designed because 2N realise that most of their intercoms will “do the job” without these features, so by not coming preloaded with these features, they are able to keep the price down. Anyone who does need one or more of these features can then simply buy the relevant licences.

If you have any queries that are not answered by this new page, then please let us know! We will get an answer for you and probably add it to the page as well.

2N Wiring Diagrams

As we continue to sell more and more 2N Door Intercoms, we have had an increase in support calls from customers enquiring about the wiring aspect of these products.

To help with this, we have created wiring diagrams for some of the most popular setups that we have encountered, these can be found on our website:

Wiring Diagrams

Of course, we would always recommend hiring a qualified electrician to wire these units up, as doing so incorrectly could damage them or even stop them working completely.

If you have any questions about these wiring diagrams, or the 2N range in general, please contact our support team

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.
