Creating an IP Switch Relay
Manual relay
The PBX does not automatically switch the relay on and off.
Switching on/off can only be triggered manually by telephone.
Creating an IP Switch Relay
An existing IP switch relay can be connected to the PBX so that various functions controled by
the PBX (see chapter Functions > Relays (Actuators) > Relay Operating Modes) can be carried
out. This IP switch relay must be created in the configuration of the PBX.
The IP switch relay and the relays available for it can be created with the device wizard. To
control the relays, the PBX needs to know the IP address, port, user name (optional) and
password of the connected device (see manual and settings of the device in question).
Various IP switch relays supported by the PBX are available as device templates. They already
include several default values for operation of the IP switch relays in their factory settings.
If no of the device templates on offer matches your installation, you can select a user-defined
device template.
In addition, you can select a simplified device template (
IPBox Simple
) which will make it
easier for you to create an IP switch relay with the operating mode
Manual relay
