5.6.6 Auto Provisioning

The 2N IP intercoms help you update firmware and configuration manually, or automatically from a storage on a TFTP/HTTP server selected by you according to predefined rules.

You can configure the TFTP and HTTP server address manually. The 2N IP intercoms support automatic identification of the local DHCP server address (Option 66).

My2N

Serial Number – display the serial number of the device to which the valid My2N code applies.
My2N Security Code – display the full application activating code.
Generate New – the active My2N Security Code will be invalidated and a new one will be generated.

It displays information on the state of the device connection to My2N.

My2N ID – unique identifier of the company created via the My2N portal.

Firmware

Use the Firmware tab to set automatic firmware download from a server defined by you. The intercom compares the server file with its current firmware file periodically and, if the server file is later, automatically updates firmware and gets restarted (approx. 30 s). Hence, we recommend you to update when the intercom traffic is very low (at night, e.g.).

2N IP intercom expects the following files:

MODEL-firmware.bin – intercom firmware
MODEL-common.xml – common configuration for all intercoms of one model
MODEL-MACADDR.xml – specific configuration for one intercom

MODEL in the file name gives the technical specification of the 2N IP intercom / 2N IP audio device:

hipv – 2N^® IP Vario
hipf – 2N^® IP Force
hipsf – 2N^® IP Safety
hipak – 2N^® IP Audio Kit
hipvk – 2N^® IP Video Kit
hipve – 2N^® IP Verso
verso2 – 2N^® IP Verso 2.0
au – 2N Access Unit
aug2 – 2N Access Unit 2.0
aum – 2N Access Unit M
hipso – 2N^® IP Solo
hipba – 2N^® IP Base
sac – 2N^® SIP Audio Converter
sassh – 2N^® SIP Speaker Horn
ss – 2N^® SIP Speaker
style – 2N^® IP Style

MACADDR is the MAC address of the intercom in the 00-00-00-00-00-00 format. Find the MAC address on the intercom production plate or in the Intercom Status tab via the web interface.

Example:

2N^® IP Vario with MAC address 00-87-12-AA-00-11 downloads the following files from the TFTP server:

- hipv-firmware.bin
- hipv-common.xml
- hipv-00-87-12-aa-00-11.xml

Unsupported protocol	The protocol is not supported. HTTP(s) and TFTP are supported only.
Invalid file path	The provisioning file location is invalid.
DHCP option 66 failed	The server address loading via DHCP Option 66 or 150 has failed.

Internal error	An unspecified error occurred during file download.

Configuration

Use the Configuration tab to set automatic configuration download from the server defined by you. The intercom periodically downloads a file from the server and gets reconfigured without getting restarted.

Note

A few seconds' interruption of the display function occurs in the display-equipped 2N^® IP Vario models during reconfiguration. Therefore, we recommend you to update when the intercom traffic is very low (at night, e.g.).

Firmware update enabled – enable automatic firmware/configuration updating from the TFTP/HTTP server.

My2N / TR069

Use this tab to enable and configure remote intercom management via the TR-069 protocol. TR-069 helps you reliably configure intercom parameters, update and back up configuration and/or upgrade device firmware.

The TR-069 protocol is utilised by the My2N cloud service. Make sure that TR-069 is enabled and Active profile set to My2N to make your intercom log in to My2N periodically for configuration.

This function helps you connect the intercom to your ACS (Auto Configuration Server). In this case, the connection to My2N will be disabled in the intercom.

My2N / TR069 Enabled – enable connection to My2N or another ACS server.

Active Profile – select one of the pre-defined profiles (ACS), or choose a setting of your own and configure the ACS connection manually.
Next Synchronisation in – display the time period in which the intercom shall contact a remote ACS.
Connection Status – display the current ACS connection state or error state description if necessary.
Communication Status Detail – server communication error code or HTTP status code.
Connection test – test the TR069 connection according to the set profile, see the Active profile. The test result is displayed in the Connection status.

ACS Address – set the ACS address in the following format: ipaddress[: port], 192.168.1.1:7547, for example.
Username – set the user name for intercom authentication while connecting to the ACS server.
Password – set the user password for intercom authentication while connecting to the ACS server.
Verify Server Certificate – set the set of CA certificates for validation of the ACS public certificate. Choose one of three sets, see the Certificates subsection. If none is selected, the ACS public certificate is not validated.
Client Certificate – specify the client certificate and private key to validate the intercom right to communicate with the ACS. Choose one of three sets, refer to the Certificates subsection.
Periodic Inform Enabled – enable periodical logging of the intercom to the ACS.
Periodic Inform Interval – set the interval of periodical logging of the intercom to the ACS if enabled by the Periodic Inform Enabled parameter.
