3.2.2.1 Devices

Directory is one of the crucial parts of the device configuration. It helps add new devices (2N IP intercoms and other answering units) and provides essential information on them. Up to 200 devices can be added to the directory.

The Search function works as a fulltext search in names and phone numbers. It searches for all matches in the whole directory. Press the button above the table to add a Device. Or, search a device in the LAN and then add the device as a new contact to the Directory.  Click to show the device details. The icon helps remove a device from the list deleting all its data. You can arrange the list according to the name or feature ( indicates that the device may be displayed, indicates that incoming calls are allowed to the device, indicates the feature of the device to which the call started with a short call button press is created and indicates the feature of the device to which the alarm call started with a the doorbell button press is created). One list page can include 15, 25 or 50 devices.

Each device list item includes the following data:

• Device Name – enter the device name for the selected Phone Book position. This parameter is optional and helps you find items in the Phone Book more easily.
• Displayed Icon – display the reception desk symbol or a standard symbol.
• Device Type – set this parameter manually or automatically using the search for registered devices in the directory.

• Phone Number – enter the phone number of the station to which the call shall be routed. Enter sip:[user_id@]domain[:port] for Direct SIP calling, e.g.: sip:200@192.168.22.15 or sip:name@yourcompany. Enter device:device_name for calls to the 2N^® IP Mobile application. Set the device name in the mobile application. Enter/1 or/2 behind the phone number to specify which SIP account shall be used for outgoing calls (account 1 or 2). Enter /S or /N to force an encrypted or unencrypted call respectively. The account and encryption selections can be combined into the suffix /1S, for example.
  Click to edit the phone number details.
