Question 1

2N 2Wire - Installation and Configuration

Accepted Answer

2N 2Wire is a set of two convertor units that lets you connect any IP device installed at locations with no IP infrastructure to your network. Connect the device, such as an IP intercom, to one unit and a switch to the other unit. Then connect both convertor units to each other using the existing analogue wiring. This will transmit audio and video as well as supply power.   Prerequisites  2N 2Wire(2 pieces of 2N 2Wire converter units and 1 power supply adapter)  Specifications: Speed: 10/100 Base T, half/full duplex, auto-negotiationIEEE 802.3 af/at 40Watt Compliant PoE+Cable Type: 2Wire, Cat 5e., Cat 6. or similarImpedance: 25Ω to 100ΩTransmit Coverage: Typical 720ft (220m) @ Cat6 with PoE at far end; up to 2460ft (750m) possible; depends on wiring and interference      Product features  Using legacy analog 2 wire cabling for IP intercom connection including PoE power supply  Easy configuration, no IP address and network setup required, plug&play  Powering the IP-connected devices via PoE is possible up to a distance of 220m, twice the maximum Ethernet specification cable length.  You can connect up to 2 pairs of 2N 2Wire convertor units to a single switch. This means you can connect an intercom to several indoor stations as well as an IP camera.The pairing procedure must be proceeded first.    Basic installation      Install 2N 2Wire leader unit where your Ethernet cable ends and 2 wire cabling begins, plug in them.Do not connect 2N 2Wire units to PoE ports. If you don't have any non-PoE ports available, make sure to disable PoE on the port you're going to connect 2N 2Wire to.    Install 2N 2Wire follower unit where you need to convert 2 wire cable back to Ethernet at a remote location. Please observe polarity of the 2 wires. Connect the provided power supply to the leader unit.  Either of the units can be leader or follower.Leader unit is the one with connected power supply while follower is powered via 2 wires.  Blue Power LED indicators should indicate that both units are powered.      Use case scenarios  Single leader & Single follower      This is the simplest configuration and works straight out of the box.Just make sure you connect the 2 wires correctly to each adapter. Positive to positive & negative to negative.      Single leader & multiple followers This works straight out of the box as well.Multiple followers can be wired into a single leader, max. 3 followers can be connected to a leader.Again make sure to connect the 2 wire correctly to each adapter. Positive to positive & negative to negative.      Multiple leaders & Multiple followers If this configuration is required and you are installing multiple leader adapters on to a single network, it is very important to perform the pairing procedure (described below the pictures),otherwise you may experience network conflict issues.        The pairing procedure All units are in join mode. They will find each other and establish basic level encrypted communication.To use more leaders in the same network, we must return the units to an un-joined mode and then join them again.In case of adding another unit (e.g. as a replacement), you must repeat all the procedure again.Un-joining mode  Connect the power supply to the leader and connect the follower via the 2 wire connection.Do not connect them to the network or the IP device yet.Press and hold the ‘Grp’ button for 10 seconds, until you see all lights on the adapter go off.Then you should see only the power light illuminated.   Joining modeIn a single leader & single follower joining scenario, it doesn't matter which unit you put into this mode first.If you have multiple followers connected to a single leader, then you must connect all followers via the 2Wire connection to the leader first, then run individual joining procedures for each connected follower. To do this you must initiate the joining mode on the leader first and then the first follower. Then repeat this for each follower connected to the leader.         Connect the power supply to the leader and connect the follower via the 2 wire connection.Do not connect them to the network or the IP device yet.Press and hold the ‘Grp’ button for 2 seconds.After release, the ‘PoE’ light will begin steadily blinkingletting you know that the adapter is in ‘seek’ mode and is looking for another adapter to pair to.Once an adapter has found another adapter to pair to the ‘TWP LED’ will become static, letting you know pairing is complete.

Question 2

2N Fortis deployment with 2N Access Commander and Fortis Commander

Accepted Answer

This FAQ article describes the initialisation and deployment of 2N Fortis Cylinders and Handles (also known as 2N Electronic locks) and configuration with 2N Access Commander.  This solution has the following prerequisites:    2N Access Commander version 3.5+At least one 2N OS device running FW version 2.50+ or 3.0+ or later, with a compatible RFID card reader (MIFARE ® DESFire® EV1/EV2/EV3 compatible) connected to the 2N Access Commander as well.For the configuration, the External RFID Card Reader 125kHz + 13.56MHz with NFC (USB) (part numbers 9137424E or 9137421E ) and the External USB driver (1.8.0 or higher) are required. It is also required to have a computer (laptop) equipped with Bluetooth and Microsoft Windows OS (recommended version 10+).   Some additional useful information: Supported cards are MIFARE ® DESFire® RFID cards EV1/EV2/EV3.2N provides MIFARE ® DESFire® RFID cards/fobs  EV3 4K (part numbers 11202601 and 11202602).One such 2N RFID access card can be used for access to up to 90 doors with the 2N Electronic locks, depending on the number of time profiles applied. However, the 2N Fortis Cylinders and Handles can be grouped so the 2N RFID access card can be used for more accesses. More information can be found in this FAQ article. If the card memory capacity is exceeded, data writing to the card will fail. A write failure event is recorded in the system access log.    Please make sure you have the External RFID Card Reader connected, the 2N Driver for External USB Readers installed, and set up with at least the following settings:      Where are credentials stored?  Unlike 2N OS IP devices, where access credentials are stored in the device, credentials for access are stored in MIFARE ® DESFire® cards as a list of allowed handles or cylinders.   How are the access rights updates made?  Information on user cards is updated by scanning the card on an RFID reader on a 2N OS device that the card is authorised for; therefore, at least one 2N OS device with a compatible RFID reader must be used.  To update information on cards, users must be authorized for that particular 2N OS device.    Table of article's content: Configuration of 2N Access Commander for 2N Electronic locks Configuring  2N Fortis devices in 2N Access Commander Configure each of 2N Electronic locks in your installation 2N Fortis Commander configuration Allowing an access to each lock in 2N Access Commander Program user cards and assign them to users Program additional maintenance cards Erase programmed card   Configuration of 2N Access Commander for 2N Electronic locks Go to the "Settings -> Electronic locks" section of the 2N Access Commander's web interface.  If there are no IP devices compatible with 2N electronic locks connected to 2N Access Commander, a message will be shown.     Add a compatible 2N OS IP device to Access Commander When a compatible 2N OS IP device is added to the 2N Access Commander, a message about the device not being configured will be displayed as well. It is because the encryption keys have not been generated in 2N Access Commander yet.  Click on the "Generate keys" button, select and confirm a Main Encryption key and continue by clicking on the "Generate" button. Note that the main encryption key is not visible in the application later on. We recommend making a copy of the selected key and storing it in a safe place.        After generating the key, the message about the 2N OS IP device configuration should disappear, and a message about encryption keys being set up should be shown (if the message about the device's configuration does not disappear, please refresh the page).  Double-check the 2N OS IP device in case the message is still showing up In case the message does not disappear even after a while or refreshing the page, please visit the configuration page of that particular 2N OS device itself and navigate to the section Hardware - Extenders (or Card reader) The Pair button associated to device's RFID reader needs to be greyed out. If it is not, click on it to pair the RFID reader in the device.     If all is set correctly, you shall see a message about encryption keys being set up in 2N Access Commander.     Configuring 2N Fortis devices in 2N Access Commander Now you need to add the 2N Electronic locks as devices to the 2N Access Commander. Initially, you need to add just a list of the names for each 2N Fortis device added.  Add the list of 2N Electronic locks to the 2N Access Commander Go to the "Devices" section, click on the +Device button, select the 2N Electronic lock option, name the lock and click on the Add button.            Add all your 2N Electronic locks and name them to suit their deployment locations or usage. After adding the 2N Electronic locks, it is possible to add the device to the correct zone (can be assigned later, after the lock is fully configured).     After all 2N Electronic locks are added to the 2N Access Commander, in the section "Devices", you can see the 2N electronic locks' status being NOT CONFIGURED.     Configure each of the 2N Electronic locks in your installation To fully configure the 2N Electronic locks with the 2N Access Commander, it is necessary to create a Lock setup & Service RFID card and export a 2N Fortis Commander project file containing a list of all your added 2N Electronic locks in 2N Access Commander, which will be imported into the 2N Fortis Commander software.   Create Lock setup & Service card First, go to the "Settings -> Electronic Locks" section and click on the Create button in the "Maintenance cards" section to create the Lock setup & Service card.     Select the Lock setup & Service option and the card expiration date, and click on Continue.     Place the MIFARE ® DESFire® card (EV1, EV2 or EV3) on the USB card reader and keep it there until the process is complete. You will hear a tone being played first and melody after a short while from the External USB RFID reader, signalling that the card is successfully configured. The pop-up window will disappear as well.     Please make sure you label the card in order to recognise what card it is later.   Export a 2N Fortis Commander project First, set up a password for the 2N Fortis commander project file.       After setting up the password, the option to download the 2N Fortis Commander and the project file will be available. After downloading the project file, please download the 2N Fortis Commander and install it on your computer.    2N Fortis Commander configuration When the 2N Fortis Commander is installed, it is possible to open the project file, which was downloaded from the 2N Access Commander on your computer.  The 2N Fortis Commander will automatically open and will ask for the password, which was created in the 2N Access Commander before the option for downloading the project file was available.      Or it is possible to open the installed 2N Fortis Commander software and open the project file which was downloaded from the 2N Access Commander by selecting the "Open project" option.     After selecting the project file, you will be asked for the password, which was created in the 2N Access Commander before the option for downloading the project file was available.     Now it is necessary to add the 2N Fortis electronic locks to the 2N Fortis Commander by connecting them to the 2N Fortis electronic locks.  Tap the service card to the electronic lock to enable the pairing mode. The lights on the 2N Fortis Cylinder or handle will be blinking with a blue light.  Pairing uses Bluetooth. Keep your laptop close to the 2N Fortis Cylinder/Handle throughout the pairing process. Service cards can be created for your project in the Access Commander (Settings > Electronic Locks > Maintenance cards) section of the 2N Access Commander.        Once the 2N Fortis Lock/Handle is paired and connected with the computer, it is possible to see the details about the device.  Now it is necessary to assign the connected 2N Fortis Handle/Cylinder to the device that was created in the 2N Access Commander. based on your preference.  Click on the "Assign" button, select the device from the list of 2N Fortis devices from the 2N Access Commander and confirm it.       After assigning the lock, the status will change to "Lock assigned", and it is possible to make adjustments (more can be found in this FAQ article).  When the 2N Fortis device is assigned and configured, you can disconnect from the 2N Fortis device.     After disconnecting, you can see a list of configured and assigned 2N Fortis devices.     To pair them with the 2N Access Commander, simply close the project and upload the same project file back to the 2N Access Commander. All changes in the 2N Fortis Commander are saved after every action.            After importing the 2N Fortis Commander file into the 2N Access Commander, the 2N Electronic locks should be shown as Configured in the "Devices" section    Allowing an acces to each lock in the 2N Access Commander Add 2N electronic locks to zones You can assign a Zone to the device if you have not done so before, and continue by assigning cards to users.       Program user cards and assign them to users When programming cards for users once the card is read in user's detail it has to be initialized specifically for 2N Electronic locks Place the MIFARE ® DESFire® card (EV1, EV2 or EV3) on the USB card reader and keep it there until the process is complete. You will hear a tone being played first and melody after short while from the External USB RFID reader signalling the card is successfully configured. The pop-up up window will disappear as well.   Do not forget to add the user to Groups.  HINT: The Zone has to be connected with Group of Users via Access Rules in 2N Access Commander in order to allow access.  Program additional maintenance cards Once a project in 2N Access Commander is generated, you can create additional Maintenance cards and select the expiration date of the card.  Please make sure you label the card in order to recognise what card it is later.   Lock setup & Service Used for switching locks to service mode and performing maintenance. Supports both factory default encryption keys (for new locks) and installation keys (for ongoing service).  Battery card This card is used for already programmed 2N Electronic Cylinders in the same 2N Access Commander project to remove the battery cover. You can check the 2N YouTube channel for a video about how to operate the Battery card.  Dissassembly card This card is used for already programmed 2N Electronic Cylinders in the same 2N Access Commander project to fix it to or remove it from the cylinder in the door.  You can check the 2N YouTube channel for a video about how to operate the Assembly/Disassembly card.    Erase a programmed card Programmed cards for 2N Electronic Locks can be erased in the "Settings - Electronic locks" section of 2N Access Commander.  Place the MIFARE ® DESFire® card (EV1, EV2 or EV3) on the USB card reader and keep it there until the process is complete. You will hear a tone being played first and melody after a short while from the External USB RFID reader, signalling that the card is successfully erased.

Question 3

2N IP Eye issue - How to enable 2N IP Eye in Windows firewall?

Accepted Answer

If you have installed 2N IP Eye software in your computer and you can not see a popup window (with video from 2N IP Intercoms) at the time of an incoming call, the problem most likely resides in the firewall settings of your computer. In your Windows installation, go to section "Control Panel -> Windows Firewall" and click on "Advanced settings" as shown in the picture below.  On the left side of this window choose "Inbound Rules" and in the list of programs find 2N IP Eye. If there is a red icon, 2N IP Eye application is blocked by firewall and you have to change it manually.  So make a double click on this "Rule" and in "General" tab set the parameter Action to "Allow the connection". Then confirm those changes by "OK" button.  Do this change for both 2N® IP Eye rules. Then you should see that the icon changed according to the picture below.   As a last step do not forget to restart your computer! Otherwise the changes may not apply.  Now the Windows firewall is set properly and 2N IP Eye window should popup without any problems.

Question 6

2N IP Intercoms - External IP camera connection (Axis IP camera guide included)

Accepted Answer

The steps in this article require using the web interface of a 2N device. Please follow this manual in case this is your first time using the web interface.   You can add an external IP camera to the 2N IP Intercom to see second video stream e.g. during call. IP camera can be placed for example behind the front door as well as somewhere outside the building. This is very useful because you can check if the calling person is there alone, if he/she already enters the building, if there is some intruder next to him/her, etc. It is possible to specify which picture will be the first one that you see when somebody calls from the intercom – would it be a picture from internal camera or from external camera?

Automation, 2FA - How to configure 2FA on 2N IP Intercoms

Accepted Answer

The steps in this article require using the web interface of a 2N device. Please follow this manual in case this is your first time using the web interface.   This feature enables you to increase security for example in areas of research laboratories, financial centers, banks, etc. – simply wherever you need to protect something. Thanks to this feature you can specify door that will be opened only if you enclose the RFID card and enter special code in predefined time (both can be done by one person). For higher security you can set that two RFID cards or two specific codes have to be entered (double person identification). This is very good protection against RFID card theft. Authentication with a card and a code can be done via native features, authentication with two cards has to be done via automation as described below. How to set up 2FA on 2N IP Intercoms    Version 2.50 (LTS) or earlier Navigate to the section "Directory -> Users" and choose one of the users. Then you can define a PIN code and a Card ID for the user.  In section "Services -> Access Control-> Entry Rules" you have to set "Card, Code". Now the particular user has to swipe the card and enter the code as well to activate the Switch.                Version 3.0 or later Navigate to the section "Directory" and choose one of the users. Then you can define a PIN code and a Card ID for the user.   Next, Access -> Access rules -> Entry section, edit Default rule:  Now you can choose which credentials you want to use for multifactor authentication.      How to set up double person identification on 2N IP Intercoms Go to section Services -> Automation (Version 2.50 (LTS) or earlier) or to Integration -> Automation (Version 3.0 or later) and use one of the Functions there. Then follow the screen below and create the function. Set the card IDs of two users you would like to use for double card authentication. This will ensure, that once the first user swipe the card, the other one has to swipe within 5 seconds to activate the switch.     Firmware & License info  2N OS v2.44 with GOLD license  Last updated on 3th of March 2026

Automation, Black/whitelist - How to block or allow specific numbers to call an intercom

Accepted Answer

The steps in this article require using the web interface of a 2N device. Please follow this manual in case this is your first time using the web interface.       Our intercoms don't support black/whitelisting by default. However, you can do it using a PBX or automation. If you'd like to use automation, you'll need GOLD license.  Basic setup — information The Number parameter at the CallStateChanged event can contain a phone number or an IP address. The following is an example of a whitelist. If you'd like to make a blacklist, just swap action AnswerCall for the EndCall one. Please note that it's better to set up a whitelist, since blacklists can be easily bypassed by changing your number to a different one. For whitelisted values, you need to know the exact number that can get through.

Question 18

Automation, Call Delay - how to set a different ring time for diferent call destinations

Accepted Answer

The steps in this article require using the web interface of a 2N device. Please follow this manual in case this is your first time using the web interface. The ring time limit can be set in the "Calling -> General Settings -> Outgoing calls -> Ring Time Limit" section of the web interface of the 2N IP intercom. It is set for 32 seconds by default so for example, when the Quick Dial Button 1 is pressed the intercom will dial the 1st number of the assigned user. In case the call is not picked up within 32 seconds, the intercom will start dialing the second number for 32 seconds and so on until the last number is called. You can create automation where you can set different ring time limits for different destinations.   Scenario: There is an intercom at the main entrance of an office building, 1 answering unit at the reception and 2 smartphones with a 2N Mobile Video app that belongs to receptionists. When the Quick Dial Button is pressed we want the intercom to call the answering unit and dial for 30 seconds. If the call is not answered during those 30 seconds, we want the intercom to call 1st receptionist's smartphone and dial for 50 seconds. In case the receptionist does not pick up as well, the intercom will call 2nd receptionist and dial for 30 seconds.    For the scenario and the automation to properly work, the button setting must be empty:        This automation will start calling the first number, after 30 seconds it ends the call, waits for 3 seconds and starts dialling the second number. After 50 seconds the automation ends the call, waits for another 3 seconds and then starts dialling the third number for 30 seconds. After that, the dialling ends. Also, when the call is connected, the automation will stop all delays, which prevents dialling the next numbers.

Question 19

Automation, Calling two numbers from 2N IP Intercom over GSM gateway with a single SIM card

Accepted Answer

The steps in this article require using the web interface of a 2N device. Please follow this manual in case this is your first time using the web interface.  Target scenario This manual describes how to call two GSM numbers from 2N IP intercom over GSM gateway with one SIM card only. The scenario is that we would like, after pushing the button on the intercom, make a call to a GSM number (number 1) and if this call is not answered, intercom starts ringing the next number. If this were configured in a standard way, i.e. assigning numbers to the user and using Group calling, intercom would get busy tone when trying to reach the second number. This is caused by limitations of GSM technology — any GSM call takes way longer (few seconds) to hang up. On the other hand, SIP call is hung practically immediately. Therefore there must be added a delay between hanging up the first call and making the second call. This scenario requires to be configured in Automation:      Variables  KeyPressed - defines which key must be pressed to begin the sequence. In this example, Key 1 (first intercom button) is used.  BeginCall 1 - here you can define which GSM number or user must be first called. 123456 is used as an example number in this case.  BeginCall 2 - here you can define which GSM number or user must be called after nobody answered on the first number. 456789 is used as an example number in this case.  Delay 1 (D1) - defines how long will it ring on the first GSM number.  Delay 2 (D2) - must be always higher than Delay 1. D2-D1=delay between hanging up on the first number and making a call to the second number. We recommend 5 seconds difference to make sure the first GSM call is properly hung.  Delay 3 (D3) - must be always higher than Delay 2. D3-D2=ring time when ringing on the second GSM number.  Rest of the variables must be set exactly as you see on the picture above.

Question 20

Automation, Card Call - Initiating a call after card verification

Accepted Answer

The steps in this article require using the web interface of a 2N device. Please follow this manual in case this is your first time using the web interface. The normal behavior of the 2N IP Intercoms and destinations is that when the Quick dial button is pressed the intercom will call the user that is assigned to the Quick dial button.   Scenario: There is a 2N IP intercom with an RFID card reader module at the main door and a 2N answering unit at reception — only users authorized by card can initiate a call.      Version 2.50 (LTS) or earlier  For the scenario and the automation (GOLD License is required) to work properly, the Buttons setting must be empty:          Version 3.00 or later For the scenario and the automation (GOLD License is required) to work properly, the Buttons setting must be empty:        This automation will allow the call to be initiated within 30 seconds after the user has authorized by card:   How it works: When a valid card is entered, the FlipFlopRS condition will give the 1 (true) state to the Begin call action and if the Quick Dial Button 1 is pressed during this time frame, the intercom will call to 192.168.50.24 IP address. After 30 seconds the condition state is 0 (false) and the intercom won't be allowed to call when the Quick Dial Button 1 is pressed.    You can also create automation for the call to end in case of the ringing or connection state of the call:   How it works: When the Quick Dial Button 1 is pressed the call will be ended only in case of a ringing or connected state of the call.

Question 21

Automation, DoorOpenTooLong - Securing door against excessively long opening on 2N IP Intercoms

Accepted Answer

The steps in this article require using the web interface of a 2N device. Please follow this manual in case this is your first time using the web interface.   Securing the door against being open for too long is possible on 2N IP Intercoms . This feature is very useful for buildings with you have doors without handle (only with a knob) and you want to increase the security. It can be useful in banks, financial centers, offices, labs, server rooms and many others. Just imagine that you have door lock connected to one of relays in 2N IP Intercom and also door magnetic contact. The magnetic contact is cut off when the door is open. If that takes longer than the configured time (for example 15 seconds), the 2N IP Intercom will recognize it and will trigger an alarm.    How to set it up?  All necessary steps for settings of this feature are shown in the figures below. You will have to configure one switch, an automation and you will also have to use one INPUT.  It is also required to own a GOLD license for the 2N IP Intercom.   How to configure Switch 1  This switch controls the OUTPUT 1 to which the door lock connected. It is set in Monostable mode which means that after activation of this switch the door is door opened for 5 seconds (it may be changed depending on your specifications).     How to configure the security feature  You need to enable feature Door Open Too Long Detection for the specific Switch (in our case for Switch 1) and set which INPUT is the magnetic door sensor connected to.     How to set up Automation section  The settings blow mean that when the 2N IP Intercom detects a logical change in the INPUT from the magnetic lock and the door will stay open for more than 60 seconds, the automation will trigger an alarm sound or any other defined action (such as sending an HTTP command, an e-mail etc.      Firmware & License info  2N OS v2.44 with GOLD license  Last updated on 23rd of August 2024

Question 22

Automation, Multicast - Configuring Lock/Unlock all feature on 2N IP Intercoms

Accepted Answer

The steps in this article require using the web interface of a 2N device. Please follow this manual in case this is your first time using the web interface.   "Lock all" or "Unlock all" features are very useful once you need to activate all switches (lock or unlock - it depends on the settings of switches made in section "Basic settings -> Switch X") connected to 2N IP Intercoms in your network. Just pick a master 2N IP Intercom which will send multicast request to all connected intercoms after you enclose predefined RFID card or enter a specific code from your phone or keypad. This feature is very helpful when there's a fire in the building or when you face any danger inside the building and you need to evacuate all the people. In that case you enclose the card to RFID card reader and all doors will be opened. Lock all and unlock all features can be used especially in schools, factories, offices and other large places where you have many intercoms.   How to set up 2N IP Intercom to send multicast requestAll necessary steps for settings of Lock all feature are shown in the figure below:  The settings above mean that if anybody encloses the RFID card (ID of this card has to be 2800A6FC50) to the card reader then two actions happen simultaneously. During the first action multicast request is sent to all other intercoms (this command is sent to multicast IP address 235.255.255.250: 4433 which is set by default). The second action activates the switch connected to this intercom (this setting is optional and it depends whether you have any switch connected to this 2N IP Intercom). How to set up 2N IP Intercom receiving multicast requestsSettings for all other 2N IP Intercoms which accept multicast requesst and trigger specific action is shown in the picture below. First of all you need to specify the command that will trigger actions – this command has to be the same as the one sent in “MulticastRequest” from the previous figure (accepted in IP address 235.255.255.240:4433 by default). Based on the configuration below, Switch 1 is activated and also predefined user sound is played (e.g. any announcement for evacuation, alarm, siren, etc.).

Question 23

Automation, Multicast - How to receive multicast paging from up to 5 sources

Accepted Answer

The steps in this article require using the web interface of a 2N device. Please follow this manual in case this is your first time using the web interface.   Each 2N IP Intercom can receive and send one multicast stream without any license. However, if you need your intercom to listen to multiple sources – maybe up to five at once (or send multicast to different addresses), then you will need an Enhanced Integration (up to v2.35) or Gold license (v2.35 onwards), which will allow you to set up the functionality via Automation. Such scenario may be useful, for example, in an area with several multistorey buildings with several departments, where:  the intercoms in the 1st building will listen to multicast at the address 224.1.0.0 and port 11000,   the intercoms in the 2nd building will listen to multicast at the same address (or different – e.g. 224.2.0.0) and port 12000, etc.,   the intercoms on the 1st floor of the 1st building will listen, as well, to the multicast again at the same address (or different – e.g. 224.1.1.0) and port 11100,   the intercoms on the 2nd floor of the 1st building will listen, as well, to the multicast again at the same address (or different – e.g. 224.1.2.0) and port 11200, etc.   the intercoms in the 1st department on the 1st floor of the 1st building will also listen to multicast, e.g. at address 224.1.1.1 and port 11110,   the intercoms in the 2nd department on the 1st floor of the 1st building will also listen to multicast, e.g. at address 224.1.1.2 and port 11120, etc.   and at the same time the intercoms in all buildings, floors and departments will listen to multicast, e.g. at address 224.0.0.0 and port 10000.  In other words, in such scenario, each 2N IP Intercom listens on 4 different multicast addresses and ports at once. There must be no odd port numbers used (e.g. 10001, 10003, 10011 etc.)  How to set up the 2N IP Intercom to receive multicast paging from up to 5 sources?  Navigate to "Services->Streaming->Multicast->Multicast Audio Receiving" (see image below)  We will adjust the following parameters (eg. the multicast source that will be listened to by intercoms in all buildings together), thus enabling reception from one common source:Multicast Receiver Enabled:  ✔  Receive IP Address: 224.0.0.0Receive Port: 10000Codec: the corresponding codec (which was selected for the respective multicast paging as well)   Navigate to "Services -> Automation" section -> select a free function -> create and save the given automation (see the picture below).Connect the required number of "StartMulticastRecv" blocks according to how many multicast addresses and ports, respectively, you want to be able to receive multicast streams from at once.We can set up reception from up to 4 other sources as we have channels 0 - 3 available here, each of which can be used only once.The example below shows what the automation in the intercom would look like on the 1st department of the 3rd floor in the 2nd building (according to the scenario described in the introduction).Then reboot the intercom "System -> Maintenance" - Restart, because in this case we have the "Rebooted" event set. Firmware & License info  2N OS v2.43.1 with GOLD license  Last updated on 25th of June 2024

Question 25

Automation, OpenDoor - Controling the card reader signalization

Accepted Answer

The steps in this article require using the web interface of a 2N device. Please follow this manual in case this is your first time using the web interface. This page describes you how to control the 2N IP intercom card reader signalization via an automation function.  2N IP intercom FW & license information    We recommend to use the latest FW version for 2N IP Intercom.  This feature requires firmware v2.26 or newer  You will also need to have either Enhanced Integration or Gold license — this license is necessary for Automation features in general.     Target scenario 2N IP Intercom is integrated into a 3rd party access system, e.g. via wiegand interface, and does not contain any ID cards database. An user swipes his ID card on the card reader and 2N IP intercom sends the ID card information the to the access system, which evaluates whether the access is permitted. If the access is granted, the system sends an HTTP command to the 2N IP intercom to activate a switch and the "valid" signalization on the card reader. If the access is not granted, the access system sends an HTTP command to the 2N IP intercom to activate the "card invalid" signalization on the card reader. If the relevant signalization is not activated on the card reader, the user has no feedback about used card validation.   Please navigate to the intercom web administration — Hardware -> Extenders -> Card Reader and fill in a Module Name.  Please navigate to the intercom web administration — Services -> Automation and create a new automation function.  The automation is based on Action OpenDoor that controls signalization of selected card reader module (fill in the name of the module here). To activate this Action you can select any Event from the list, e.g. HttpTrigger (to use incoming HTTP command).         Firmware & License info  2N OS v2.44 with GOLD license  Last updated on 23rd of August 2024

Automation, UnauthorisedDoorOpen - Securing doors against unauthorised door opening in 2N IP Intercoms

Accepted Answer

The steps in this article require using the web interface of a 2N device. Please follow this manual in case this is your first time using the web interface.       Securing the door against unauthorised access can be configured on 2N IP intercoms thanks to the accessories available. First of them is Magnetic door contact (order number 9159012) and the second one is Departure button (order number 9159013). This feature is very useful for buildings where you have doors without a handle (only with a knob) and you're looking to increase the security. It can be used in banks, financial centres, offices, labs, server rooms and many more. Just imagine that you have the door's lock connected to one of the relays in 2N IP intercom and also door magnetic contact and eventually a departure button. If you press the departure button which is placed inside the building (while 2N IP Intercom being outside) or if you authenticate on an inside module of the intercom, then the door will be unlocked and magnetic contact will be cut off. In this case, the door is opened and you can exit the building. If the magnetic contact is cut off but the door is not opened by the 2N IP intercom (nobody has pressed the departure button, swiped the card over RFID reader or used any other method of authorization), then it's most likely an unauthorized access via breaking in. This unauthorized access to the building will trigger an alarm should you set it up.  How to set it up? All necessary steps for settings of this feature are shown in the figures below. You will have to configure one switch, an automation and you will also have to use one input. You will also need to have either Enhanced integration or Gold license — this license is necessary for Automation features in general.   Switch configuration This switch controls the Output 1 to which is door's lock connected. Set in monostable mode, meaning that after activation of this switch the door will remain open for 5 seconds (it may be changed depending on your needs using the Switch-On Duration option).     How to configure Unauthorised Door Open Detection You need to enable the feature Unauthorised Door Open Detection for the specific Switch (in our case for Switch 1) and set which input is the Magnetic door sensor connected to.If you use the Departure (REX) button, you also have to assign an unique input to it.     How to set up the Automation  The settings above mean that if 2N IP Intercom detects logical change in the input from the magnetic lock, it verifies whether the door opening was authorized and if wasn't, the Automation will trigger an alarm sound, or executes any other action such as sending a HTTP command to a security desk, sending an email etc.

Question 27

Auto Provisioning via TFTP

Accepted Answer

The steps in this article require using the web interface of a 2N device. Please follow this manual in case this is your first time using the web interface.    Requirements    Firmware 2.30 and above  Enhanced Integration license or Gold. Up to version 2.34 (inclusive) you need the license/feature or Gold (if it includes it), and from version 2.35 onwards they are part of the Gold license.  TFTP server (e.g. SolarWinds TFTP)         In this document, we will show how to set & schedule firmware and configuration uploading to your intercom via TFTP. In our scenario, we will use the FREE software SolarWinds, but you can choose any TFTP server you like.     TFTP server configuration       SolarWinds TFTP server The configuration of the SolarWinds TFTP is pretty straightforward, you don't even need to do any special configuration and it will work right away.      But you can still make some further configuration:  You can change the location of the root directory (from where the configuration and firmware will be uploaded)    In the root directory, you can create folders for better organisation    You can also improve the security with changing the transfer mode to send only and allow a specific IP range                    Firewall For everything to work properly, you need to create a new inbound rule in your firewall:    Select a rule type "Port"    Select UDP protocol and specify a port 69  Once you create a rule, the TFTP server should be ready and the intercom should be able to connect successfully.                       2N IP Intercom configuration    First of all, you need to find the IP address of your PC, you can use a command line and type "ipconfig":    After you successfully found out your IP address you have to fill it into the IP Intercom in this format: tftp://ip_address:69If you've made folders in your root directory, you need to specify the correct location, otherwise, leave the "/" by default.    At this stage, you can also schedule, how often the intercom will check for any updates.

Question 29

Bluetooth - Encryption Keys for Location

Accepted Answer

The steps in this article require using the web interface of a 2N device. Please follow this manual in case this is your first time using the web interface.   Bluetooth is a technology for wireless communication between two devices in a short distance (up to 15 m). It is based on communication between two paired devices for secure authentication. It is possible to use this technology instead of RFID cards. This identification is provided by a unique code of the end-devices that contains this technology, like almost every smartphone these days. There is a direct communication between a smartphone and 2N IP Intercom or 2N Access Unit equipped with Bluetooth module. This communication is secured and based on public and private keys that are exchanged (we use RSA-1028 asymmetric encryption and AES-128 symmetric encryption). If you paired your smartphones by the offline method (not via My2N management platform), we recommended to change the Encryption Keys for Location every 3 months in order to keep a high level of security. If you are using the on-line method via My2N management platform, then the Encryption Keys are changed automatically.   Prerequisites 2N IP Intercom or 2N Access Unit equipped with Bluetooth module,we suggest to use the latest firmware, no additional license is required.Smartphone with enabled Bluetooth and My2N apppaired with 2N IP Intercom or 2N Access Unit by the offline method according to this instructions:Bluetooth Tap in App Mode - how to setup My2n App and use the feature     Changing the Encryption Keys for Location Go to 2N device web interface, section Services - Access Control - WaveKey, and generate the new Encryption Key.  Both the old one and the new one will be available simultaneously, so all authorized apps (which can open doors on that device) will be able to exchange the previous key for new one.It is recommended to keep the old key in device for a few days, till all mobile apps exchange the stored key to match the new one. Each app will do it automatically once it is in close proximity of 2N device with updated location authentication key. After you delete old key, apps which did not get in proximity of 2N device in time will lose their ability to open these doors and mobile phone needs to be paired with 2N device device again.

Question 30

Calling locally between 2N IP intercom and 2N IP Phone D7A

Accepted Answer

The steps in this article require using the web interface of a 2N device. Please follow this manual in case this is your first time using the web interface. This article explains how to make local calls and open door between 2N IP intercom and 2N IP Phone D7A.   In the 2N IP intercom's web interface, go to Directory -> Users -> Add User.Name the User and enter the phone number. The phone number is in format sip:IP_address, where IP address is the local IP address of the D7A phone. Save the settings afterwards.Go to Calling -> SIP1 -> make sure the SIP1 account is enabled. Do not change any other parameters here.Go to Calling -> General Settings -> set the Answering Mode for SIP1 to Automatic or Manual pickup, depending on how you wish to manage the incoming calls to the intercom.Now go to Hardware -> Switches ->Switch 1 -> Activation codes -> copy the code, this code will be used in the D7A's settings for door opening.   LOCAL SIP CALLS: In firmware 150.87.57.3, local calls are disabled by default. If you updated your D7A from an earlier version, or if you are trying to set up SIP calls on a local network, you need to enable IP Calls In and disable Accept SIP Trusted Server in Features > General Information.  To set the door opening button on the In D7A's ongoing call display, go to Features -> Door Phone -> name the Door Phone -> enter 2N IP intercom's IP address into the Phone Number field -> enter the unlock code copied from the intercom's web interface. It is needed to add star (*) behinf the code. In this example it would be "00*". To create a button for calling the intercom on the D7A's display, go to Dsskey -> Line Key -> Line Key1 -> enter the Intercom's IP address in Value and name it in Label. Leave Line as Auto.

Question 31

Card reader gets stuck

Accepted Answer

This FAQ refers to situation when the card reader (typically 125kHz version, but generally also 13.56MHz) is placed in the intercom and does not react to cards presented, while the rest of the intecom works OK. In any case please make sure you have latest firmware uploaded to the intercom. If the reboot does not help.  Is the card reader module connected properly to the intercom? Can you see the card reader module in Extenders, do you see card reader related menus? For example with Vario or Force, if card reader is connected, you see its electrical outputs in Switches.  Are you using correct cards? A 125kHz card is invisible for 13.56MHz card reader and vice versa. Try with a similar card reader whether you are using correct type of card. Also 125kHz HID Proximity cards need correct settings of HID Prox types as there are multiple variations.  Can you see card events in the Status part of the web interface or syslog? If so, then the card reader actually works, but there might be a problem with signalisation, such as volume turned all the way down.  If the reboot helps, but after some hours the card reader is stuck again, sometimes even after first lock activation.  Interference from another reader - Check if there is any other card reader of the same frequency close by. Especially with 125kHz readers, we do not recommend installing readers closer than 50cm from each other - they might be interfering. If the installation requires multiple readers to be so close, try to shield them from each other using metal back plates or wire grid.  Impulse from the lock - after the lock is deactivated, coil in the lock generates an discharge impulse which is closed via the intercoms output - this can interfere with the card reader.  Rearrange the cables from the lock. Try to lead them as far as possible from the card reader - if the cables are too long, do not store them in the intecom, either make them shorter or place them in the wall box.  Use low consumption locks - they generate smaller discharge peak.  Add a diode to the lock connector with polarity reverse to the door lock power supply from the intercoms output. The diode must not short-circuit the output of the intercom. Adding the diode should not affect the normal operation of the lock, but the discharge is discharged via diode, so it does not get into the intercom at all. The diode should be placed as close as possible to the door lock itself, ideally directly on the connector on the door lock. Diode should be min 1A/1000V, for example types 1N4007 or 1N5408

Question 32

Certification for web authentication

Accepted Answer

Certificates are commonly used to identify server or device to which we are trying to connect. Nowadays digital certificates for web application are used according to the ITU X.509 standard.    The certificate is issued by some trusted issuer or Certification Authority (also shortened to CA) and assigns public key to either domain name or IP address. If certificate is issued for different IP address or domain name, than the destination really has, modern web browser will usually inform us that the web page can be forged.   Certificates are issued on limited time (for security reasons), after this time it is needed to renew validity of the certificate (often a year for server and client applications with reserve of a few days). After the expiration of a certificate web browsers will point out that the certificate is invalid because of authentication fo server will not pass.   Connectivity to our devices web interface is provided by secured HTTPS protocol, which requires valid certificate. We are sure you have already encountered this "invalid security certificate" warning in your web browser...     Prerequisites 2N IP Intercom / 2N Access Unit / 2N Answering unit / 2N SIP Audio based on 2N OS with the latest firmwareno additional license is required    Issuing certificate   Certification authority on the InternetIt is possible to find many CAs on the Internet, most of them offer trusted certificates that are issued on the domain name. Many of these CAs are already assigned to trusted root CAs in your web browser.    Your own certification authorityIt is possible to create your own CA, however it is needed to import certificate of such CA in to the web browser.We will show you example of using OpenSSL certificate toolkit under a linux based system (e.g. Ubuntu).More information you can find also here: https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/opensslhttps://jamielinux.com/docs/openssl-certificate-authority/introduction.html  Open a linux command line (terminal)Create a Certification Authority Start the procedure by this command  admin@ubuntu:~$ openssl req -out ca.crt -new -x509         During command processing you will be prompted for password creation and verification. This password will be used to protect your private key so the key file cannot be used to issue assign unauthorised certificates with your private key. Enter PEM pass phrase:  YourPassword123 Verifying - Enter PEM pass phrase: YourPassword123          Now fill in data about your CA (use your own data, below is just an example)   You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request.What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blankFor some fields there will be a default value,If you enter '.', the field will be left blank. ----- Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]: CZState or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]: PragueLocality Name (eg, city) [ ]: PragueOrganization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]: 2NOrganizational Unit Name (eg, section) [ ]: TechsupportCommon Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) [ ]: TestUserEmail Address [ ]:         (we left this blank)              Two files have been created (you can find them in /home) ca.crtcontaining certificate of our CAprivkey.pemcontaining private key of our CA, needed to sign and issue new certificates by this CA                   Create CSR (Certificate Sign Request) with RSA (cryptographic algorithm) Private Key Start the procedure by this command (name IPINTERCOM can be changed) admin@ubuntu:~$ openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -noenc -keyout IPINTERCOM.key -out IPINTERCOM.csr           This file has been created (you can find it in /home) IPINTERCOM.keyRSA (cryptographic algorithm) Private Key               Now fill in data about the certificate and its owner.(use your own data, below is just an example)Very important item is Common Name which must contain IP address or Domain Name under which the 2N device can be accessed.

Question 35

Configuration of electrical outputs on 2N IP Intercoms

Accepted Answer

What are electrical outputs good for Electrical outputs are connectors on electronics of 2N IP Intercoms where you can connect door lock, alarm system, home automation system, signalling light etc. Basically anything that can be controlled by electrical signal. What electrical outputs are available Generally there are two types: Active output - two connectors, either gives no voltage, or it provides voltage. The voltage is from 8 to 14V DC, and can provide up to 700mA current, depending on which intercom. Details about electrical outputs are always mentioned in technical parameters in Installation manual, which is available for each intercom separately. They are also listed below.Relay (passive) output - three connectors, NO normally open, C common, NC normally closed. Two of these three should be used. Always connect the C, and either NO (circuit is disconnected by default) or NC (circuit is connected by default). Make sure that the electric opener/lock is always connected to the intercom's 12V output using a security relay to make the installation safe. The motherboard relay is used for switching lights or other peripherals that do not have to be secured.  It is always recommended that the 2N Security Relay (Part No. 9159010) is used for increased security. What are the switches in the configuration of 2N IP Intercom In terminology of the 2N IP Intercoms, we use Switch as a subject in settings which representents a set of parameters. Switch says what is the PIN code, time profile, which electrical output and some other parameters. You always have four switches, no matter how many actual electrical outputs are on that particular intercom. This makes possible to have multiple switches linked to one electrical outputs. You can thus set two different sets of settings for our output. Examples on using two switches with one electrical output, for example intercom with keypad controlling shop front door: PIN code 1234* opens the door for 5 seconds, so an employee can walk in. Manager of the day has a different code 4321* which triggers the door to be open, until they are closed again with code 4322*. That means, employee can get into the building, but only manager can open the shop in the morning and close it in the evening.The employees code 1234* from above can be limited by a time profile to work one hour before opening hours and one hour after shop hours. Manager would use a different code for opening of the door for himself, which would work 24/7. What if I need more settings For more complicated scenarios, control of more outputs etc, we recommend using the Automation scripts.

Question 36

Configuring email notification on 2N indoor Touch

Accepted Answer

This FAQ will explain how to configure the email client on 2N Indoor Touch unit. This email notification could be helpful in case of a missed call from any 2N intercom (except 2N IP Base and 2N IP Uni) because the notification can contain the picture of the person who has been trying to reach you.    2N Intercom SMTP settings   The first step is to configure the SMTP client on the intercom side like on the following figure:   Figure 1: SMTP settings        You can make a test and verify if the setting of the SMTP service is correct by using Email service diagnostics on the same section of the page Services->E-mail->SMTP->Email sending diagnostics.        In this example let's assume that i have assigned the user under the quick dial button of the intercom and i would like to receive the e-mail notification with the picture of the person who has been trying to call me. In this case it is necessary to configure the e-mail address to that specific quick dial button.    Figure 2: user E-mail setting      Settings when the email has to be sent can be found in the section: Services->E-mail->E-mail on call. For further details please read the following manual page:  https://wiki.2n.com/hip/conf/latest/en/5-konfigurace-interkomu/5-4-sluzby/5-4-3-e-mail           2N Indoor Touch SMTP client settings   To be able to access the E-mail client on the 2N Indoor Touch, you have to change the application on the main screen. This can be done in two way:  Via web interface (Figure 3)  Physically using the touchscreen (figure 4)                Figure 3: Configuration of the main screen via web interface   To be able to change the main screen layout and adjust the application shown there, you have to enter the settings.  Default password is: 2n.     Figure 4: Configuration of the main screen via touchscreen   Once the previous step is done, you can enter the e-mail application and login into your email account and receive the email notifications based on your setting.              Figure 5: E-mail client

Question 41

Door section - configuration on the 2N IP Intercoms

Accepted Answer

The steps in this article require using the web interface of a 2N device. Please follow this manual in case this is your first time using the web interface. INFO:  2N IP intercoms family contains menus "Hardware-> Digital inputs-> Door", "Services->Access Control->Entry Rules/Exit Rules" and "Services-> Integration-> Genetec Synergis"  in the web interface. These menus offer the following: Even easier configuration of the 2N IP intercoms. It concentrates all settings related to the physical door controlled by the intercom.The installer is now able to set up different global Entry and Exit rules and different global modes of authentication (double authentication via code and RFID code, triple authentication via code, RFID card and Bluetooth, and so on) instead of configuring it for each user.Configuration of the REX button.Integration with Genetec Synergis access control system.  Configuration of the Door section Go to the section "Hardware-> Digital inputs-> Door". It offers the following settings:   Door Lock This section defines which switch from the section "Hardware->Switches" is used for the physical door lock (or door strike). You also need to configure a particular switch in that section (Switch 1 in the picture). Logic in this section stays the same. You just pick a particular Switch (in our case "Hardware->Switches->Switch 1") and choose a physical output for the parameter "Controlled Output" as shown in the picture below.   Door Open Sensor In this part, you can configure all settings related to a door sensor (it can be the magnetic contact from 2N for instance, ordering no. 9159012).  Assigned Input - Choose a physical input on the intercom where is the door open sensor connected. It can be either input on the main unit itself or on a card reader or on an I/O module.Input mode - Choose between two modes of the input. "Inverted" for the normally closed button and "Non Inverted" for the normally opened button.Unauthorised Door Open Detection - Enable this checkbox to track unauthorized door opening. Once the intercom detects that the door was opened (via the assigned input and door sensor) but the assigned switch from the section "Door" was not activated, it generates an event "UnauthorisedDoorOpen" to the event log. This event can be pulled via the HTTP API and it is also visible in the 2N Access Commander which can operate with this event further. Door Open Too Long Detection - Enable this checkbox to detect when the door is opened too long (someone puts an obstacle in it's way and it can't be closed for instance). After the timeout "Maximum Door Open Time" from below is exceeded, an event "DoorOpenTooLong" is generated in the event log. This event can be pulled via the HTTP API and it is also visible in the 2N Access Commander which can operate with this event further. Maximum Door Open Time - Defines the timeout for the "Door Open Too Long Detection" checkbox. REX Button This section configures the so-called request on exit button, which allows to open the door when exiting a building. Once the button is pressed, the door is opened. Assigned Input - Choose a physical input on the intercom where the REX button is connected. It can be either input on the main unit itself or on a card reader or an I/O module.Input mode - Choose between two modes of the input. "Inverted" for the normally closed button and "Non Inverted" for the normally opened button. Genetec Synergis This section allows integration with a part of the Genetec Security Center platform and in particular with the Genetec Synergis access system. The intercom FW contains the RIO protocol of Genetec which is used for the communication with the Genetec server. If configured, the intercom forwards an ID of every swiped card (or Bluetooth and finger print if the virtual card ID is used) to the server which has a database and it verifies whether it is valid or not. Based on that, the intercom will either open the door or not.  All you need to do in this section is enabling the "Enable" checkbox and fill in the "Synergis Server Address" with the actual IP address of your server and the credentials ("Username" and "Password"). The "Connection state" shows whether the connection is established successfully or not. Section "Services-> Integration-> Genetec Synergis".   Configuration of the Entry Rules and the Exit Rules The picture below shows the layout of the "Entry Rules menu". The parameters are explained below the picture. Services->Access Control->Entry Rules".    Entry Rules This section serves for configuration of a multiple entry rules with a different authentication modes.  The authentication modes are configured globally here and it is not possible to configure it for each user.  Access Enabled -  2N Access Commander does not affect this checkbox.Access Profiles - This section allows configuration of multiple access rules. The Access Rule from the 2N Access Commander (Zone+Group+Time profile) is applied on the 1st and the 4th row. As the intercom applies the first matching rule (starting from the top), you do not have to be worried that the 4th row will enable an access 24/7 as it does not have any time profile. The time profile for the 2nd and the 3rd row is not configured by the the 2N Access Commander at the moment and you can configure it manually. Multiple authentication set for the zone is applied on this row, you can disable these rows by the checkboxes. The "Zonal code" checkbox is related to the parameter with the same name in the Advanced Settings. The checkbox enables opening of the door via this code. What this code is described below. Advanced Settings Zonal code - You can set one global PIN code for the whole Zone in the 2N® Access Commander ("Zone Access PIN code" ). This code is then filled in here. It is highly recommended to set this parameter over 2N Access Commander only! Where you can configure this code on the side of the server is shown below.    Virtual Card to Wiegand - In case you use the virtual card ID (you can add it to each user in the section "Directory->Users" and in the section "Access cards" on page of particular user), you can forward this ID to Wiegand interface by picking a group. Wiegand group for each Wiegand module can be configured in the section "Hardware->Extenders" for 2N IP Verso and in the section "Hardware->Card reader" for the other 2N IP  intercoms.  Silent Alarm Enabled - If enabled, you can add a virtual code higher by 1 then an user access code. So for instance if the access code is 0000 then the silent alarm will be triggered by 0001. You can operate with the Silent Alarm further more in the Automation section - event "SilentAlarm".Limit Failed Access Attempts - If enabled after 5 invalid access attempts it is not possible to access by any mean for 30 seconds.   Service cards Plus Card ID - Add one service card to add RFID cards to the Directory. Once you swipe the plus card any following card is added to the Directory if it is not full.Minus Card ID -   Add one service card to delete RFID cards from the Directory. Once you swipe the minus card, any following card is deleted from the Directory.    Anti-Passback System is checking where the user is according to attendance history and where the user is according to the used reader location.If those places are different, access is granted. If those places are the same, anti-passback rule has been unset.Soft mode - Anti-passback event is alerted, user can enter.Hard mode - Anti-passback event is alerted, user can´t enter. Exit Rules  Exit rules are NOT affected by the 2N Access Commander anyhow at the moment. As you can see in the picture below, the Exit rules have the same parameters as the Entry Rules. So besides the fact that nothing is being configured by the the 2N Access Commander server, everything described above for the Entry rules is also applied here. There is just one difference. You have a checkbox for each Access rule, where you can define whether it should be possible to open the door via the REX button when this rule is applied.    Card reader configuration The last thing you need to do is configuration of the card reader or readers (in case you use Entry and Exit rules both). You can configure the reader either in the section "Hardware->Extenders" for  2N IP Verso or you can do it in the section "Hardware->Card reader" for the other 2N IP intercoms. You need to define two things. The first is the parameter "Door" where you can pick whether the reader will be on the Entry or the Exit side. So the options are "Door Entry" and "Door Exit". The second thing is the parameter "Associated Switch" which defines which switch will be controlled by the card reader. You can pick one of the 4 switches in the section "Hardware->Switches" or the "Door Lock Switch" which was defined in the beginning of this article. In our case we use the Door Lock Switch.

As it was said at the beginning of this article, we will set up the connection between the intercom and the IP phone directly, so we will fill in the "SIP Server" field with the IP address of the 2N IP Intercom to which the IP phone will register. It is not necessary to fill in the authorization name and password in this case.  Next, go to "Call Settings" and make sure that the correct numbering plan is used for the first account. If you see a different numbering plan, then overwrite it according to the image below, or you can copy it from the settings for account 2 or account 3.  Next, go to the "Advanced setting - General settings" section of your phone's advanced settings and make sure the "Use Random Port" box is not checked. If this box is checked, then uncheck it.  In the last step, set "Preview" (i.e. preview the video from the intercom before picking up the call) in the "Maintenance" section. Preview is one of the options that can be selected for incoming call settings (see image below). Once you have set this up and saved it, don't forget to confirm the configuration by pressing the "Apply" button in the top right corner of the screen.

On the side of the intercom you will need Enhanced integration license as Automation will be used, ordering number is 9137907. Below you will find screenshots of configuration with brief description of how to configure such function. Scenarios below serves mainly as a demonstration of possibilities given by HTTP API and examples of how to control your touch panel in this way. You can easily adjust them or use different ones with help from the HTTP API manual here.         How to control relay/output of 2N Indoor Touch via 2N IP Mobile This function enables you to control the outputs of your touch panel via the native 2N application called 2N IP Mobile. The output will be triggered by one of the lock buttons in the application showed below. All four locks will appear after you hold the button lock in the preview of a particular intercom. Those four locks are representing four switches in the 2N IP intercom web interface.  For our scenario we chose button one which is representing Switch 1. This switch can be configured in section "Hardware->Switches->Switch 1". Because these switches also serve to control the outputs of the intercom itself, you can optionally set parameter "Controlled Output" to "None". This will ensure that no output of the intercom will be triggered together with an output of the touch panel once the Switch 1 will be triggered.   Now we define the HTTP command which the intercom sends to itself once the lock button on the touch panel will be pressed. This HTTP command will be used in the next step, where the Automation function will be created. This command has to be entered in the field "Switch-On Command" and URL looks like this:    http://192.168.50.157/enu/trigger/test    Part "http://192.168.50.157/enu/trigger/" is mandatory. The string at the end (test) can be replaced by a custom one. The IP address has to be replaced by IP address of your intercom.  In the next step you need to create automation function to control 2N Indoor Touch via its HTTP API. To create an Automation scenario, click on edit of one of the functions as shown on the picture below.Then create the scenario by dragging-and-dropping and connecting the objects from the left side of the screen. The description of the function is below.  Event.HttpTrigger Name=Test - This Event serves to detect the HTTP command you created in the previous step. If you chose a custom string instead of Test, then please fill the right one for "Name="  Action.SendHttpRequest uri=https://192.168.50.236/api/v1/login?login=Admin&password=2n; Event=1 - This object ensures, that once the HTTP command from the HttpTrigger is received, then the intercom will send the HTTP command with authentication credentials to create a session with the touch panel. The IP address has to be replaced by actual IP address of your 2N Indoor Touch.  Event.Delay StartEvent=1; Delay=300mss - Delay on the third row ensures that session is opened properly, before intercom will send next HTTP command. Hence that the delay starts as soon as the HttpTrigger receives the http command.  Action.SendHttpRequest uri=https://192.168.50.236/api/v1/gpio?action=set&name=relay1&type=value&value=1;Event=3 - This command will trigger relay1 of the touch panel after the delay from the Delay object and will set it to "value=1" (at the end of URL). Values in the URL are described in HTTP manual here.  Event.Delay StartEvent=3; Delay=3s - After this delay another command will be sent and the relay will be set back to 0. So this delay defines, for how long the relay will be closed.  Action.SendHttpRequest uri=https://192.168.50.236/api/v1/gpio?action=set&name=relay1&type=value&value=0;Event=5 - This command will open the relay after the delay from the Delay object. You can see that the command is exactly the same as the command from the 4th row. Except for the value at the end which was changed to "value=0".      Export for sandbox style automation: click to download   Last step will be to enable Unsecure HTTP API for your 2N Indoor Touch. You will go to the web interface of your Indoor Touch then to the Device Section and finally to the System Administration, then check the Insecure HTTP Access like in the picture below.      How to minimize 2N IP Mobile once call is ended This feature is achieved by automation function only, so you don't need to configure switches like in previous scenarios. This function ensures, that everytime a call between the 2N Indoor Touch and the 2N IP intercom is terminated, the application is minimized. How to create such a function is described below:  Event.CallStateChanged State=terminated - This Event detects the end of a call and triggers the Action.  Action.SendHttpRequest uri=https://192.168.50.236/api/v1/login?login=Admin&password=2n; Event=1 - This row ensures, that once the HTTP command from the CallStateChanged object is received, then the intercom will send HTTP command with the authentication credentials to create a session with the touch panel. The IP address has to be replaced by actual IP address of your 2N Indoor Touch.  Event.Delay StartEvent=1; Delay=300ms - Delay ensures that the session is opened properly, before the intercom will send the next HTTP command.  Action.SendHttpRequest uri=https://192.168.50.236/api/v1/hipm?action=minimize; Event=3 - After the Delay ends, the intercom sends the HTTP command which will minimize the app. Description of this command can be found here.     How to restart 2N Indoor Touch via 2N IP Mobile Now you will learn how to achieve a restart of the 2N Indoor Touch by pressing the lock button in the app again. As the first three pictures are basically identical for this scenario, please refer to the previous one. We chose to use Switch 2 for this scenario represented by lock 2 in the app. You need to go to section "Hardware->Switches->Switch 2". If you want to disable controlled output on the intercom again, then the procedure is exactly the same as in previous step. You need to change parameter "Controlled Output" to "None". Then you need to fill "Switch-On Command" again. We chose this URL for this scenario:   http://192.168.50.157/enu/trigger/test1   Part "http://192.168.50.157/enu/trigger/" is mandatory. String at the end (test1) can be replaced by a custom one. The IP address has to be replaced by IP address of your intercom. Now you need to create the automation function. Whole function is described below:  Event.HttpTrigger Name=Test1 - This Event serves to detect the HTTP command you created in the previous step. If you chose a custom string instead of Test1, then please fill the right one.  Action.SendHttpRequest uri=https://192.168.50.236/api/v1/login?login=Admin&password=2n; Event=1 - This row ensures, that once the Event from the first row is detected, then the intercom will send HTTP command with authentication credentials to create a session with the touch panel. The IP address has to be replaced by actual IP address of your 2N Indoor Touch.  Event.Delay StartEvent=1; Delay=300ms - Delay on the third row ensures that session is opened properly, before intercom will send next HTTP command.  Action.SendHttpRequest uri=https://192.168.50.236/api/v1/maintenance/resetdevice; Event=3 - Once the Delay from the 3rd row ends, intercom sends HTTP command to restart the 2N Indoor Touch. The IP address has to be replaced by the IP address of your touch panel. Description of this command can be found in manual here.

How to provide all information to effectively resolve a technical issue with 2N OS device

Accepted Answer

The steps in this article require using the web interface of a 2N device. Please follow this manual in case this is your first time using the web interface.   In case you have found some issue with 2N OS device, please report it to Technical Support. If you do not have access information, contact your account manager.Or you can report your issue by creating a ticket - here. The reported issue should contain the following information:  Describe us the issue in a close detail, so that we will be able to replicate the behavior at 2N Tech Support.   Send us the description of the LAN topology, NATs, IP addresses, etc.    If your issue can be clearly visible or heard e.g. LED blinking or bad sound quality, please take a picture or record a video (e.g. on a phone) and send us this behavior.   You can attach it to the e-mail or upload it to e.g. WeTransfer, Dropbox, Google Drive and send us the download link.    Know the Device Information The serial number and the current FW version of your 2N OS device.It is highly recommended to use always the newest FW version available on 2N web page - here  Backup the Configuration Send us the current configuration of the device - in the pictures below there is shown how to do that.   Capture the Wireshark trace Catch the Wireshark trace on 2N OS device. Here first of all activate the capturing by "Start" button, make a call and deactivate the capturing by "Stop" button. Then download hiptrace.pcap file and send it to the support. Because the buffer for trace is limited, it is really necessary to start the trace right before you will make a test call.    Capture an internal Syslog on 2N OS device.   If 2N Tech support asks you for a Syslog they usually want the setting that is shown in the picture below. Unlike in Wireshark trace the buffer is not limited by size but time. Please set the Required Saving Time + Severity level according to 2N Tech support needs.   After setting press the "Start" button and the Syslog will automatically stop after the time you defined in  Required Saving Time, then save the syslog.txt file and send it to us.  6. Capture an external Syslog on 2N OS device.     The external syslog is often use to capture syslog messages immediately after rebooting the device which often can't be done by internal Syslog.    Please fill the Severity Level according to 2N Tech support needs. You will need a syslog server where the messages from the device will be sent.    Set the Server Address in our example we use 192.168.1.15 - IP Address of a PC where SyslogWatcher is installed   7. Using SyslogWatcher - download here       Start the server - it will take a few seconds until you see any messages  Stop server - press after you are done with capturingExport - press this button to export messages to fileExport Settings - Choose the time from/to according to what 2N Tech support demands (1h, 24h)Custom files (CSV/XML/TXT/JSON/etc.) - type of file  Export folder - choose path to save the fileFilename - name of the file (in default it is date of Syslog capturing) -> export the file with .txt suffix and send it to us

Question 56

How to use Group Authentication / Access key in communication between 2N IP Intercoms and 2N Indoor Touch

Accepted Answer

The steps in this article require using the web interface of a 2N device. Please follow this manual in case this is your first time using the web interface.   The 2N IP Mobile application in 2N Indoor Touch can communicate with all 2N IP Intercoms in the local network (and vice versa) by default. In order to increase basic security of the installation for certain scenarios we have implemented an optional access authentication for the 2N IP Mobile application in 2N IP Intercoms by an adjustable Access Key. Thanks to the Access key settings, only selected mobile applications with the key set in the Group Authentication field of the application can detect the intercom connected in the same network.   2N IP intercom FW & license   It is strongly recommended to use the latest FW version on 2N IP Intercoms - available here or via the automatic update feature. The Group Authentication/Access key feature does not require any additional license for the 2N IP Intercom.        Navigate to the section "Calling -> Local Calls -> Configuration" and fill in the "Access Key" field in Connection to answering units to enable authentication for the 2N IP Mobile application as shown in the picture below. You can add up to 3 Access Keys.   How to set 2N Indoor Touch? Once the 2N Indoor Touch is connected to the local network and powered (over PoE or using an external 12V DC/2A power supply) it will boot up and you see its initial screen (launcher). By clicking on the 2N IP Mobile application icon in the right upper corner you can open it and access its settings.  To be able to detect and add a key protected 2N IP Intercom in the local network, you need to set the equal Access Key in the application first. Go to the section "Settings - 2N Helios IP Group Authentication" and set the same key as set on the intercom side, see the pictures below.   The application automatically scans your LAN network and searches for all connected 2N IP Intercoms with the equal Access Key/Group Authentication identification.You can easily add them in the "Devices" section by clicking on the "+" button.   By clicking on the specific row in the LAN devices list you can add selected intercoms only or by clicking on the checkbox in the right upper corner you can add all of them at once.   By clicking on the confirmation button  you have just added the desired local devices to the list and the application is ready to call.

Question 57

HTTP API - Configuration upload

Accepted Answer

You can edit various configurations in the 2N IP Intercoms via HTTP API commands:  Configuration backupRTSP Configuration example H.264 parametersConfiguration ExampleHTTP API Test Tool The HTTP API was designed for controling selected 2N IP Intercom functions via the HTTP protocol. It enables 2N IP Intercoms to be integrated easily with third party products, such as home automation, security and monitoring systems.Below is an example how you can change configuration  parameters of the 2N IP Intercom (video framerate/resolution) and upload them into the 2N IP Intercom via HTTP API. You can find a complete manual on this page: 2N IP Intercom HTTP API manual Once you download the config backup from the intercom, you can open it in Notepad++ or any other text editor (or Web Browser).  Configuration backup After downloading the config.xml file and opening it, you can see the configuration:  You can collapse (1) and expand (2) each category of the configuration file:     RTSP Configuration example In the picture you can see the section for RTSP:   For the H.264 codec, you can see:  - 1 - 3 - 4   These numbers correspond with the settings on 2N IP Intercoms — the number means always the position of the parameter, as shown on this screenshot above.  H.264 parameters   Video Framerate: 30 fps - (number 1 in the config file)      Video Resolution: VGA - (number 3 in the config file)    Video Bitrate: 512 kbps - (number 4 in the config file)      The logic for those parameters is always the same - always start from 0.  For example, Video Resolution in IP Vario with Camera: 0 - QCIF (176x144)1 - QVGA (320x240)2 - CIF (352x288)3 - VGA (640x480)   The /api/config function helps you upload or download the device configuration. The function is part of the System section and the user must be assigned the System Control privilege for authentication if required. The function is available with the Enhanced Integration licence (up to v2.35) or included in the basic installation (v2.35 onwards). Use the PUT method for configuration upload. The reply is in the application/json format and includes no other parameters.  Configuration Example If the command is sent successfully, following line will be returned: PUT /api/config{ "success" : true} HTTP API Test Tool  The put request can look like this  https://192.168.50.163/api/config  where the 192.168.50.163 is the IP address of the intercom.You can try this by using the HTTP API test tool available on https://2N_IP_Intercom_address/apitest.html     The example is in the attached picture, you need to upload the xml file with the configuration:

Question 61

Intergration Loxone Miniserver with 2N intercom

Accepted Answer

The steps in this article require using the web interface of a 2N device. Please follow this manual in case this is your first time using the web interface.  Basic orientation    Loxone Miniserver (Gen 2) FW Version: v10.3.11.25  2N IP Intercom FW: v2.28    Example project file  You can download the project file here.    Loxone config tool is divided into a few sections:  Property menu allows you to define the parameters of a specific object such as name, destinations for http commands etc. The available parameters are different for each object.  General menu that allows you to assign new objects to the specific periphery section. This menu differs for each periphery.  Periphery menu that allows you to add specific objects to your project space.  Project space allows you to place objects from the Periphery menu by using drag and drop method. Interconnection of each object is done here.     Local calls configuration  Loxone Miniserver configuration The first step is to let the Loxone mini server know, that the button has been pressed on the intercom side. To be able to achieve it, the http commands will be used. In the Loxone mini server the object called Virtual Input is used. Click on Virtual Inputs in the periphery menu and select Virtual input from the upper general menu. A new virtual input will be created. You can drag and drop this virtual input to your project.  In this example the virtual input is called „trigger“. The name can be assigned to the input in the left property menu by changing the parameter called name (UUID).  The name of the input is the key parameter here, because it is used in the http command sent from the intercom. Another object which will be use is called „User defined intercom (Door Controller)“. This object can be added to the project by selecting network devices in the Periphery menu and selecting Add Network Device - User defined intercom in the upper general menu.     A new Door Controller object will be created in the Network devices. In this example the intercom is called 2N Intercom. The name can be changed again in the left property menu. Now the connection to the intercom needs to be configured. You need to configure the following parameters in the left property menu to be able to make local calls:  Picture when ringing –the video preview configuration  URL video stream (local) – the video stream during the call configuration  User name for Camera – login credentials to access the video from intercom  Password for Camera - login credentials to access the video from intercom  Host for audio (local) – destination IP address for the SIP call    Genral intercom’s http API syntax:   http://      /api/camera/snapshot?width=      &height=      &fps=        For more info regarding to the HTTP API commands of the intercom click here.   Example of the configuration:  Picture when ringing – http192.168.50.188/api/camera/snapshot?width=640&height=480&fps=15  URL video stream (local) - http:// 192.168.50.188/api/camera/snapshot?width=640&height=480&fps=15  User name for Camera – Admin  Password for Camera - Admin  Host for audio (local) – 192.168.50.188   Another parameter that can be configured is called Name for the function 1,2 and 3. This parameter allows you to create a button in the Loxone app which can be used to open the door on the intercom. You can assign the name for the button. In this example the button is called Lock. If the button will be pressed in the app, the specific output on the Door controller object is triggered. These outputs are called Q1, Q2 and Q3 and need to be added to the object.    Please note that the doors can be connected directly to the 2N intercom or to Loxone mini server. In this example the lock is directly connected to the intercom, so to be able to open the doors on the intercom, Q1 output needs to be connected to a digital output object called DTMF COMMAND which sends the http command to the intercom. How to configure this object is written in the next paragraph.  If the doors are connected to Loxone (Loxone is the one who decides if the doors are open), the Digital Output 1 can be connected to some other object / periphery in the Loxone. This scenario is out of the scope of the guide.  The last step is to add a Virtual Output object which sends an http command to the intercom to open the doors. Select Virtual Outputs in the periphery menu and create a new output by choosing Virtual Output object in the upper menu.       Once the new output is created (in this example VQ1), the virtual output command needs to be assigned from the upper menu and needs to be connected to Q1 output of the Door controller object.  Select the newly created output from the periphery menu (in this example the output is called VQ1) and define the IP address of the intercom in the property menu. In this example the IP address of the intercom is 192.168.50.188.  Select the Virtual output command object from the periphery menu (it is called DTMF COMMAND in this example) and define the http command.  The Http command can control the HTTP API or automation in the intercom. In the example the automation function is used however HTTP API works exactly in the same way just the HTTP command is in a different format. You can check HTTP API manual for more info. The following command has been used in this example:  General syntax: http:///enu/trigger/  Example: http://192.168.50.188/enu/trigger/dtmf    key name – is used in the automation on the intercom side as a trigger for some set of actions. In this example the key name is dtmf.     Intercom configuration On the intercom side, the automation needs to be configured (the enhanced integration license is required).  Once the main quick dial button is pressed, the intercom sends the http command towards the Loxone mini server. The command which controls virtual input has the following format : General syntax:    :    @     /dev/sps/io//     Where  UUID - name of the virtual input object in Loxone  Action – on / off commands  Example: admin:admin@192.168.50.182 /dev/sps/io/trigger/on   Login credentials can be changed in the periphery menu, in the section users. You can also create new users and use them instead of the admin access in the HTTP command. Object SendHttpRequest is sending an HTTP command to the Loxone mini server. Because this object has its own fields for username and password, the URL format is only 192.168.50.182 /dev/sps/io/trigger/on. The delay object is also triggered during the button press with a 5 second delay and then the intercom sends the http command for the deactivation. Example: admin:admin@192.168.50.182 /dev/sps/io/trigger/off Optionally you can also add a PlayUserSound object so once the button will be pressed, the intercom can play some user sound to notify the user in front of the intercom that the intercom is trying to establish the call. Another object is HttpTrigger where the key for dtmf is used. So once the intercom receives the http command in the format http://192.168.50.188/enu/trigger/dtmf, the intercom activates switch 1. Last step is to set incoming call in the intercom to automatic answering mode in the section Calling – General Settings  and HTTP API access for the video stream.        External calls To be able to make an external call to the intercom from the Loxone app which is out of your LAN, several configuration adjustments needs to be done:  Create a SIP account on some free public SIP server which allows you to make anonymous incoming calls and adjust the configuration in the intercom and in the Loxone mini server.  Register your Loxone mini server  Setup port forwarding on your router for the Loxone app access and video stream  Add push notification  The Loxone app / Mini server is always the one who is initializing the SIP call and the calls are anonymous which means that the Loxone mini server is not registered anywhere and trying to establish the peer to peer call.   In case of external calls – only the intercom needs to be registered to the SIP Proxy. Configuration of the door controller is used by the Loxone app on the smartphone and here you only have the options for a SIP host and a user-id. This ID is NOT for the app itself but used to make an anonymous call to the intercom that has been registered as a SIP client with specific credentials. The app is NOT a full SIP client, so it does not register with a SIP provider. The Loxone app can make outgoing calls as an anonymous SIP user to the intercom by using the user-ID as a "phone number" for the destination (the intercom).  SIP account configuration To be able to make an external call, the call needs to be sent to some proxy server which is able to receive calls from unknown sources. In this example server called antisip.com is used. Once the account is created, the intercom needs to be connected to the server. This can be done in section Calling  - SIP 1 or SIP 2 - Configuration In this example the details obtained from anitsip.com are:  Intercom configuration looks like this:   Now the intercom is registered on the antisip.com service and the Door controller settings need to be adjusted to be able to make a call from the mini server to the intercom. In the property menu of the Door Controller the following parameters need to be adjusted:  Host for audio (external) – the domain name of the service  Audio username (external) – contact which the Loxone will be calling  URL video stream (external) - router's public IP address needs to be specified      Port forwarding The next step is to create the port forwarding rules in your router to be able to connect from the Loxnone app to the mini server via the internet. Loxone provides a remote connection service. The first step is to register your Loxone mini server on their website. Once the device is registered, the Loxone mini server has a specific domain name to which it is connected. The domain name is dns.loxonecloud.com/. The Loxone server detects and stores info about your router public IP address and defined ports (specified in the Loxone mini server configuration - described in the next paragraph) and once the Loxone app, which is placed somewhere in the internet, wants to connect to your mini server which is placed on the LAN, the request is sent to the same domain name and the Loxone DNS server forwards the request to your public IP address with specific port numbers. If the port forwarding rules are done correctly, your router forwards this request to the Loxone miniserver placed on your LAN. Note that the default password to access the Loxone miniserver cant be used for remote connection. So a password change is required to be able to remotely connect to the Loxone mini server. Password can be changed on the user settings.      It is necessary to specify which ports will be used for access to the Loxone mini server from the internet. This can be done in the details of the Loxone miniserver. In this example the ports for incoming communication to the Loxone miniserver are 8003 and 8443.        The next step is to configure port forwarding in your router. In this example the router port forwarding details are:  Incoming traffic to public IP address of the router on port 8003 and 8443 will be forwarded to the IP address of the Loxone miniserver (in this example the ip address is: 192.168.50.182) to ports 80 and 443.   The port forwarding needs to be specified also for the video stream. In this example again the he port forwarding is done on port 8003 (external) to port 80 (LAN).    The last step is to enable push notification for your smartphone. The push notification mechanism allows you to wake your Loxone app. Each app is closed in IDLE state by the Android / iOS platform and the only mechanism how to wake the app and receive a call is to usethe in built Android / iOS push notification mechanism. Make sure that you have enabled push notifications for the Loxone app. Then add push notification object from Periphery menu into your Loxone project.

Question 64

Lift access control - configuring 2N systems

Accepted Answer

The steps in this article require using the web interface of a 2N device. Please follow this manual in case this is your first time using the web interface. You can setup 2N RFID/Keypad/Bluetooth/Fingerprint equipped IP units to control which floors authorized user can access. The whole scenario allows interconnection of 2N IP units with AXIS A9188 I/O Relay Modules, which tells the lift which floor can be accessed after a person authorizes using the 2N IP unit as shown on the following image  Types of most typical scenarios are: A 3rd party RFID card reader in the lift cabin is connected over Wiegand to a 2N Access Unit or located at the top of the shaft or in the Machine room. The 2N Access unit communicates over IP with the Axis A9188, which is connected to the Lift Controller. The Lift Controller uses CANbus (or similar) to control the buttons in the Lift Car.A 2N Access Unit or supported intercom is installed in the lift cabin requiring an Ethernet cable connection from the machine room. This is the most convenient scenario. The 2N device communicates again over IP with the AXIS A9188 in the same way as above.A 2N Access Unit or supported intercom is installed in the lift cabin, which does not have an Ethernet connection. 2N 2Wire converters are used to bring IP connectivity and PoE through the Lift car’s traveling cable over available 2 wires. This provides IP connectivity for communication between the  2N device and the Axis A9188, which is linked with the Lift Controller.    Requirements  Lift control solution requires: (Optional) 2N Access Commander 1.13 and later. Starting with 2N Access Commander 2.0 you need at least an Advanced license for lift control.2N OS 2.27 and later. 2N Access Commander 2.0 requires firmware 2.32 for compatibility.Lift license (part of the Gold license - 9137909) for IP intercoms.The license is available for the following models: 2N IP Style, 2N IP Verso, 2N IP Force, 2N IP Safety, 2N IP Vario.AXIS A9188 I/O Relay Module (2N order no. 9160501, AXIS order no. SKU 0820-001) firmware 1.65.0.2 or newer       Technical parameters    AXIS A9188 communicates with lift I/O Relay Module using its relays wired to lift system  2N devices communicate with AXIS A9188 via IP protocol HTTPS  Time for relays open/close time is set by 2N IP unit to 10s (can be changed) which directly corresponds with time person have after his/her authorization on 2N IP unit to push floor button in the lift  One 2N device can connect to up to 8 AXIS A9188 I/O Relay Modules  Multiple 2N devices are not recommended to connect to same AXIS A9188 I/O Relay Module         The following guide will explain, how to set the whole scenario to allow a person access to certain floors in the lift using their credentials (RFID, Code, Bluetooth or Fingerprint). Configure the 2N unit to communicate with the AXIS 9188 I/O Relay Module  Make sure the 2N device has Gold license (Lift feature included) installed and firmware 2.27 or newer is used.  Connect the 2N unit to the AXIS A9188 I/O Relay Module in section Hardware - Lift Control by specifying the IP address of AXIS A9188.  Make sure you fill in the authentication as well (admin credentials for the AXIS relay module - root/root by default).    All AXIS A9188 I/O Relay Modules connected to the same 2N unit needs to have same administrator user with the same password (root for example) - maximum of 8 AXIS A9188 I/O Relay Modules can be connected to one 2N unit allowing for a maximum of 64 floors         2N Access Commander Version 3.0+ Create a Zone for each Floor in the section Zones. It is correct that these Zones will not have any device assigned, since lift enabled devices cannot be added to any Zone. Assign each zone to the Company which contains users who are allowed access to that particular floor (multiple Companies can be selected if needed).  Users should be placed in groups which will later be granted access to particular floors.Navigate to Access Rules and begin creating rules to define which zones or floors each group may access. For example, the group ‘Company A Sales Team’  can be paired with the zone ‘first floor’ to allow the users of that group access to the first floor.  Optionally, Time profiles can be set within Access rules which will restrict access to that floor within desired time frames. If none or Empty Time profile is used it means access will be allowed 24/7.    Enable lift control usage in added devices in the device details page in Access Commander.  If you add to Access Commander device with lift control license, it will become automatically enabled for Lift Control)    To finally setup which users can access which floor, in device details go to Management and create Floor assignment according to the physical connection of relays between AXIS A9188 and the lift itself (for example relay io_1_1 on AXIS A9188 is physically connected to lift that 1st floor will become available for Groups of users which have in Access rules defined rules for Zone 1st floor).   Since up to 8 AXIS A9188 can be connected, you need to know which relay belongs to which AXIS A9188 I/O Relay Module: io_1_1 in Floor list stands for first connected AXIS A9188 to 2N unit and its first relay io_1_2 in Floor list stands for first connected AXIS A9188 to 2N unit and its second relay io_2_1 in Floor list stands for second connected AXIS A9188 to 2N unit and its first relay etc...    From now all users, which are part of Groups associated in Access rules with Zone 1st floor and have valid credentials, when they authorize on 2N IP unit in lift cabin will be able to use lift button for 1st floor.   (Optional) Setup floor to allow access to anyone who presses the lift floor button  In order to allow access to floor without the need to authorize person using an RFID card, in device details go to Management and create Floor assignment according to the physical connection of relay between AXIS A9188 and lift itself (for example relay io_1_2 on AXIS A9188 is physically connected to lift which 2nd floor will become available for anyone who just presses a 2nd-floor button in the lift). From now, anyone who presses the button for 2nd floor will be able to access that floor.   Optionally, Time profile can be set, which will restrict access to that floor for desired time frames. If none of the Time profiles is used it means 24/7 allowed access.    IP Intercom/Answering unit lift setup ( Access Commander 3.0+)  RequirementsLift control from 2N OS answering units requires:  2N® Access Commander 3.0 and later (optional)2N OS 2.32 and later   The setup is quite easy once you finished all the previous steps in this guide. You can create a user that will stand in for your 2N OS based answering unit – in this example, we’re using several 2N® Indoor View units. Name these users according to your preferences, we named them Apartment 101 – 2N Indoor View etc.  Calling more devices at the same time It's important to note here that one user can have up to three numbers, thus you don't have to create more users for flats that have up to three answering units, be it 2N® Indoor View, 2N® Mobile Video etc. If it's necessary to call more than three devices, create more users and assign them to one quick dial button as described two steps below.  Make sure each user residing on the 1st floor is assigned to a group that has access to this floor – in our case, it’s 1st floor group as shown a few steps before in Access Rules.Now go to devices and open device detail of an intercom and configure its quick dial buttons or touch display to call all users and devices in e.g. Apartment 101:  Now that this is ready, go to the intercom’s web interface via Configure Device.   Access Commander Version 2.7 or older    Create a Zone for each Floor in the section Zones. It is correct that these Zones will not have any device assigned, since lift enabled devices cannot be added to any Zone.    Assign each zone to the Company which contains users who are allowed access to that particular floor (multiple Companies can be selected if needed).    Users should be placed in groups which will later be granted access to particular floors.    Navigate to Access Rules and begin creating rules to define which zones or floors each group may access. For example, the group ‘Company A Sales Team’ can be paired with the zone ‘first floor’ to allow the users of that group access to the first floor.    Optionally, Time profiles can be set within Access rules which will restrict access to that floor within desired time frames. If none or Empty Time profile is used it means access will be allowed 24/7.     Enable lift control usage in added devices in the device details page in Access Commander.   If you add to Access Commander device with lift control license, it will become automatically enabled for Lift Control)        To finally setup which users can access which floor, in device details go to Management and create Floor assignment according to the physical connection of relays between AXIS A9188 and the lift itself (for example relay io_1_1 on AXIS A9188 is physically connected to lift that 1st floor will become available for Groups of users which have in Access rules defined rules for Zone 1st floor).    Since up to 8 AXIS A9188 can be connected, you need to know which relay belongs to which AXIS A9188 I/O Relay Module: io_1_1 in Floor list stands for first connected AXIS A9188 to 2N unit and its first relay io_1_2 in Floor list stands for first connected AXIS A9188 to 2N unit and its second relay io_2_1 in Floor list stands for second connected AXIS A9188 to 2N unit and its first relay etc...      From now all users, which are part of Groups associated in Access rules with Zone 1st floor and have valid credentials, when they authorize on 2N IP unit in lift cabin will be able to use lift button for 1st floor.  (Optional) Setup floor to allow access to anyone who presses the lift floor button  In order to allow access to floor without the need to authorize person using an RFID card, in device details go to Management and create Floor assignment according to the physical connection of relay between AXIS A9188 and lift itself (for example relay io_1_2 on AXIS A9188 is physically connected to lift which 2nd floor will become available for anyone who just presses a 2nd-floor button in the lift).From now, anyone who presses the button for 2nd floor will be able to access that floor.      Optionally, Time profile can be set, which will restrict access to that floor for desired time frames. If none of the Time profiles is used it means 24/7 allowed access.          IP Intercom/Answering unit lift setup Access Commander 2.7 or lesser   Requirements   Lift control from 2N OS answering units requires:  2N Access Commander 2.0 and later (optional)  2N OS 2.32 and later       The setup is quite easy once you finished all the previous steps in this guide. You can create a user that will stand in for your 2N OS based answering unit – in this example, we’re using several 2N Indoor View units. Name these users according to your preferences, we named them Apartment 101 – 2N Indoor View etc.  Calling more devices at the same time   It's important to note here that one user can have up to three numbers, thus you don't have to create more users for flats that have up to three answering units, be it 2N Indoor View, 2N Mobile Video etc. If it's necessary to call more than three devices, create more users and assign them to one quick dial button as described two steps below.              Make sure each user residing on the 1st floor is assigned to a group that has access to this floor – in our case, it’s 1st floor group as shown a few steps before in Access Rules.    Now go to devices and open device detail of an intercom and configure its quick dial buttons or touch display to call all users and devices in e.g. Apartment 101:    Now that this is ready, go to the intercom’s web interface via Configure Device .     Door and lift control   Now you can decide whether to combine (1) door and lift control or (2) have it separated.         Switch for lift control Activate the switch by entering DTMF (activation code) and therefore send the following HTTP request. Replace the values in  red  with your own values: https://  LiftDeviceIP   /api/lift/grantaccess?user=$CallUuid$&duration=  seconds  https://127.0.0.1/api/lift/grantaccess?user=$CallUuid$&duration=5 (example) *LiftDevice = either 127.0.0.1 (if the very same device is controlling the lift) or some other device (where the Axis relay is connected)    Optional parameter duration   Please note that &duration=seconds in the HTTP request is optional. You may specify it to keep the lift buttons activated longer than specified in the image below – this value is used by all other credentials or when duration isn't specified in the HTTP request.      The HTTP request uses LIFT API that’s part of Access Control API of the 2N device in the lift that controls the Axis A9188 relay module.     2N OS answering unit setup   2N answering unit support   All 2N answering units may be used for lift control, this includes even our most basic units such as 2N Indoor Talk and 2N IP Handset. More advanced answering units, such as 2N Indoor View and 2N Indoor Compact have an optional LIFT icon checkbox to make the lift button easier to identify; 2N Indoor Touch 2.0 and 2N Mobile Video will receive the LIFT icon functionality in the upcoming updates. Basically, any device that can send DTMF may be used for lift control.      This setting is identical for 2NOS only and Access Commander included. To configure a 2N OS answering unit, access the web interface of the unit. This unit needs to have devices corresponding with phone numbers of intercoms that are going to call it, in this example we’re using device:Verso, but you can use other syntaxes depending on network setup. Add a new device or edit an existing one.  The last step is to set up Unlock Buttons – as you can see, we set up separate ones for door control and lift control. If LIFT is checked, its icon will change to make it easier to differentiate between the two.  Once this Main entrance – 2N IP Verso device (whose device name is Verso) calls the Apartment 101 – 2N Indoor View user, the 2N Indoor View recognizes it and shows the appropriate unlock buttons.  Tapping either of these will either open the door or start the lift action and send the HTTP request to the 2N device in the lift which then enables the appropriate buttons on the lift control panel via the Axis A9188.
