For a better overview, the necessary configuration is divided in 2 parts:

  • The first part covers the respective PBX object
  • The second part describes the configuration of the 2N Intercom device.

Disclaimer

2N is a 3rd party brand. As such, innovaphone is not liable for any malfunction of the 2N firmware itself, or malfunction caused through or due to changes in the 2N firmware.

Requirements

  • innovaphone myApps Cloud PBX
  • 2N intercom device
  • PBX-Port licence for registration of the intercom at the pbx
  • optional PBX-Video or PBX-UC license for the intercom pbx-userobject to establish video connections

Considerations

The parameters below are innovaphone default settings. These settings might be different in the specific cloud environment. Thus, please check your documentation and take a note of the corresponding parameters of your specific cloud instance.

  • 2N does not deploy device certificates on its devices. Thus, secure TLS connections to the myApps Cloud platform are not possible.
    Due to this reason, this example uses a connection via SIP/TCP.
  • The system name (devices domain name) of the PBX in this example is: company25.org
  • The URL or the respective PBX in this example is: 01234-pbx.innovaphone.com

Configure the Intercom's 'external' IP address

  • 'External' IP Address: IP address, through which the device is reachable.
  • Known issue:
    • As described above, 2N requires the 'Media Relay' checkbox in the PBX user object for audio.
    • But for video, 2N does not perform a media relay.
    • 2N only transparently forwards the video SDP to the remote endpoint.
    • Video is therefore only possible if both endpoints are on the same LAN.
    • Consequently, to make VoIP communication possible on the same LAN, this address has to be configured on the device.
    • Please make sure, the entered IP address is a fixed, an not a dynamic IP address.
  • Clarification:
    • As 2N Intercom devices do no support STUN, the device itself does not know the 'external' public IP address, through which it is reachable (WAN).
