Configuration guide for Genetec Sipelia™ System
1. Configuration guide
This configuration guide describes how to set up a Behnke Station as a SIP extension of an Genetec Sipelia™ PBX. We are assuming that the basic configuration of the Genetec Sipelia™ PBX has already been done, and we will only describe the steps required to register the Behnke Station with Genetec Sipelia™. We also assume that the Behnke station has already been integrated into the network and can be accessed via the IP address in a browser.
It is assumed that the Behnke-Station is already set up to the extent that access to the web interface is possible. If this is not the case, please follow the instructions provided with your base electronics (manuals) and refer to the technical manual to complete the basic setup.
1.1 Creating a user in the Genetec Sipelia™ system
Launch the "Genetec™ Security Center Config Tool" and log in with your administrator credentials. Then, in the administration area, navigate to the "Plug-Ins" option and select Sipelia™:
Then select the "General" tab and set the SIP ports (default 5060 for unencrypted SIP) or, if desired, also activate encrypted SIP communication according to the following image (default 5061 for encrypted SIP):
Finally, add an extension for the Behnke Station as a SIP subscriber and assign a name and password:
It is also possible to assign these automatically from an existing pool:
1.2. Configuration of the Behnke-Station
- Open your browser
- Access the Behnke Station web interface
- Log in
- Click the
menu item in the sidebar. - Navigate to the SIP Account 1 or SIP Account 2 section.
- Set the Register option to yes
- Use the assignments from the following table and enter the information in the corresponding input fields (in the SIP Account 1 section, if applicable SIP Account 2) of your Behnke station.
Now enter the previously generated SIP credentials from your Genetec Sipelia™ system into a SIP account on the Behnke station as follows. Select the IP address on which your Genetec Sipelia™ system is accessible as the SIP server:
| Field Behnke-Station | Value for Genetec Sipelia™ PBX |
|---|---|
| Phone number/user name | SIP extension number |
| User ID | SIP extension number |
| Password | Password for SIP extension |
| Communication | specify SIP Server |
| Server | IP-Adress of Genetec Sipelia™ PBX |
| Port | 5061 |
| Transport | TLS |
- Click on the menu item
in the sidebar to save the configuration. - Navigate to the section of the key you want to configure, e.g., Key 1
- Set the Action option to the value Call
- Enter the phone number you want to call when the key is pressed in the input field for the Phone Number option.
- Click on
in the sidebar to save the configuration.
In our configuration example, the number entered would be 1002, under which the administrator group can be reached.
2. FAQ
If media encryption is desired, set the "Media Encryption" configuration option in your Behnke station to "SRTP" and the "Force Media Encryption" option to yes.
In the Genetec Sipelia system™, the media encryption would then also have to be configured in the file C:\ProgramData\Genetec Sipelia\SipSever\SipServer.config (for the default installation path) using the configuration value "SrtpMode Value="Force":
Unencrypted SIP communication is also possible; to do this, change the transmission protocol in the Behnke Station to UDP or TCP and the port to 5060.
If the procedures documented here do not work:
- Make sure the latest firmware is installed on your Behnke-Station. The latest version is 6.12 and can be downloaded here.
- Check the notes in the manual and in the manuals.
If none of the above tips help, open a new support ticket or contact our service hotline.
