Guide to setup Vingtor Stentofon TCIS-3 in Pulse Server mode to interface with LQ 4-wire and EHX.

• When the Direct Access Key on a TCIS-3 is activated, the LQ is called, auto-answered, and audio is routed into a conference call (partyline).

• When VOX is present on the partyline, the TCIS-3 stations are called, auto-answered, and audio is routed to/from the partyline.

Setup of TCIS-3 (Pulse Server mode):

1. Log into the TCIS-3 web interface by typing the IP address of the device into a web browser.

2. Navigate to the ‘Station Main > Main Settings’. Here we can select ‘Use Pulse Server’ and input our desired IP Settings.

3. Navigate to ‘Server Management > Server Configuration > Directory Settings’. The Pulse Server Station will auto discover all other Vingtor Stentofon Stations on the LAN. You can now set the ‘Directory Number’, ‘Name’ and ‘IP Address’ for each Station. Click Save and Apply.

4. Scroll down the page to ‘Third Party SIP Terminals’. Here we will input the settings for our LQ SIP lines. Set a ‘Directory Number’, ‘Name’ and ‘Password’.

5. Navigate to ‘SIP Configuration > SIP Settings'. Under ‘Account Settings’ we can set our:

   • ‘Display name’ - any meaningful name

   • ‘Directory Number (SIP ID)’ - SIP ext. number for this device

   • ‘Server Domain (SIP)’ - IP address of the Pulse Server (ie. this device)

   • ‘Authentication Username/Password’ - Choose Username/Password

6. Scroll down the page to ‘Call Settings’. For use with LQ we will need to set the g722 codec to ‘High Priority’. The other codec types should all be set to ‘Not Used’. 'Enable Auto Answer’ should also be checked here.

7. Navigate to ‘SIP Configuration > Direct Access Key Settings’. Here we will set the Idle function to ‘Call To’ and input an LQ SIP directory number. And we will set the Call function to ‘End Call’ ‘On Key Press’.

Setup of TCIS-3 (Pulse Mode):

1. Log into the TCIS-3 web interface by typing the IP address of the device into a web browser.

2. Navigate to the ‘Station Main > Main Settings’. Here we can select ‘Use Pulse’ and input our desired IP Settings.

3. Navigate to ‘SIP Configuration > SIP Settings'. Under ‘Account Settings’ we can set our:

   • ‘Display name’ - Any meaningful name

   • ‘Directory Number (SIP ID)’ - SIP ext. number for this device

   • ‘Server Domain (SIP)’ - IP address of the Pulse Server

   • ‘Authentication Username/Password’ - Choose Username/Password

4. Scroll down the page to 'Call Settings’. For use with LQ we will need to set the g722 codec to ‘High Priority’. The other codec types should all be set to ‘Not Used’. 'Enable Auto Answer’ should also be checked here.

5. Navigate to ‘SIP Configuration > Direct Access Key Settings’. Here we will set the Idle function to ‘Call To’ and input an LQ SIP directory number. And we will set the Call function to ‘End Call’ ‘On Key Press’.

Setup of LQ:

1.  Log into the LQ web interface by typing the IP address of the device into a web browser.

2. Navigate to ‘Accounts > SIP’ and add a SIP server.

3. Under ‘SIP Server Settings’ we can set our:

   • ‘Label’ - Any meaningful name

   • ‘Registrar/Proxy IP/Hostname’ - Input the IP Address of the Pulse Server

   • ‘Registrar/Proxy Port’ - Default 5060

4. Scroll down to the ‘Accounts’ section. Here we will create our LQ SIP lines:

   • ‘Label’ - Any meaningful name

   • ‘User/Password’ - Should exactly match the credentials input into the Pulse Server under ‘Third Party SIP Terminals’

   • ‘LQ Assignment’ - Select the LQ unit from the drop down list.

5. Navigate to ‘Assignments'. Here we will add our LQ SIP lines and LQ 4W into an empty Channel to create a conference.

Setup of EHX:

1. Navigate to ‘Hardware > Cards and Ports > MVX-A16'. Here we will create a 4W direct, and our LQ SIP ports.

2. Navigate to ‘Configuration > Partylines’ and create a new Partyline. We want to attach our 4W direct into this Partyline.

3. Navigate to ‘Configuration > Speed Dials’ and create new entries for each TCIS-3 station extension. Under the ‘DTMF Auto Dial’ column, input the extension number of the TCIS-3. Under the ‘Speed Dial Source’ column, select the LQ SIP interface we created for this extension in step 1.

4. Navigate to ‘Configuration > Routes’ and create new entries for each TCIS-3 station extension. Under the ‘Route Origin’ column, select the LQ SIP interface. Under the ‘Route Action’ column, select ‘Talk and Reverse Listen’. Under the ‘Route Target’ column, select the Partyline we created in step 2.

5. Navigate to ‘Configuration > Controls’ and create a new Control. From the ‘Available’ Members list on the left, attach the Speed Dial, Route, and LQ SIP Interface for each TCIS-3 extension into the ‘Attached’ list on the right.

6. Navigate back to ‘Hardware > Cards and Ports > MVX-A16’. Select the 4W direct we created earlier, and under ‘Attached Control Options’ in it’s properties, select the control we created under ‘VOX Action’

7. Finally, we can add the Partyline to our panels.
