name. The maximum number of characters is 16 including the
station directory number.

Local:
station can be addressed inside the node only.

station can be reached from all nodes in a cluster.
A cluster is a subnet of a network, and consists of a number of defined
nodes.

physical number.
-
Master Station
is the default option. This setting will automatically
detect the type of station connected.
-
Sub Station
should be selected for stations with limited keypad
and PA couplers to avoid e.g. “call me” messages.
-
Display Station
can be selected to ensure faster and safer line
error detection on stations with displays.
Other special station options can be selected to obtain optimal
performance and programming for the relevant stations.
●
CCoIP
or
SIP
stations are selected by ticking the appropriate
checkbox.
●
The
CCoIP Station
checkbox results in a field for MAC address and
a checkbox for registration with directory number.
-
AlphaCom XE can use both methods for identifying an IP station.
When configuring an IP station in AlphaPro, you must select which
methods to use to identify the IP station. The advantage of using
registration by directory number is that it is easier to replace the station
at a later stage as this does not require new settings in AlphaPro.
Directory Number registration
-
This is the default registration for CCoIP stations.
-
Tick the
Reg. w/Directory Number
checkbox to register the
station.
MAC address registration
-
Untick the
Reg. w/Directory Number
checkbox to bring up the
MAC address field.
-
Enter the station’s MAC address.
The MAC address can be found by logging into the web interface of
the IP station or AlphaWeb under
System Monitoring
>
Stations
>
Unconfigured
.
SIP Station
Tick the
SIP Station
checkbox if the station is a SIP telephone.
When a change has been made to a directory number, the
OK
and
Cancel
buttons become active.
The settings for a station can be swapped with another station by doing
the following:
1. Highlight the first station in the list
2. Click the
Copy
button and then highlight the second station
3. Click the

button to swap the two stations.

Ordinary analog telephones can be connected by using ATLB

as an ordinary station. The ‘station type’ is set to Master
Station.
