Fermax intercom integration with Ilevia

Introduction

Intercoms are communication devices designed for instant 2-way communication within specific areas. They typically consist of a Master unit and multiple sub-units, and enable direct communication without the need for external networks. This guide explains how to integrate the intercom with the Ilevia server (model: BLOCK PANEL 001-01, firmware V03.50S) and also applies to other Fermax intercoms.

Intercom configuration

Step 1

Connect to the Fermax intercom configuration web page, log in, and open the SIP settings.

1. Enter the Ilevia server IP address in the SIP SERVER parameter (replace <Ilevia server IP> with the actual server IP address).

2. Enter the Ilevia server IP address in the Domain parameter (replace <Ilevia server IP> with the actual server IP address).

3. Finally, enter the STUN address as follows: turn.ilevia.com.

Step 2

Open the Advanced menu, enable Quick dial, and add the following URL: sip:<SIP ID>@<Ilevia server IP>, where <SIP ID> must be replaced with the SIP ID created in the intercom web interface and <Ilevia server IP> with the actual Ilevia server IP address.

Configuration in Ilevia Manager

Step 3

Open Ilevia Manager, go to the SIP section of the component library, and add 2 SIP Client components.

Step 4

Select one of the 2 SIP Client components and, in the menu on the right, enter the following in SIP address: <SIP-Address>@<Ilevia-server-IP-address>. Replace <SIP-Address> with the address (Room No.) configured in the intercom and <Ilevia-server-IP-address> with the IP address of your X1 server. Finally, enter the password set in the intercom configuration in SIP Password and select the user who will receive the calls in For users.

Step 5

Select the second SIP Client and, in the menu on the right, enter the following in SIP address: <SIP-Address>@<Fermax-intercom-IP-address>. Replace <SIP-Address> with the SIP ID entered in Step 2 and <Fermax-intercom-IP-address> with the IP address of your Fermax intercom. Finally, enter in SIP Password the password set for this SIP account in the intercom configuration.

Step 6

Finally, upload the project to the server.

Camera integration (optional)

Add a new IP camera component to the project, then enter the RTSP URL in the component parameters as follows.

rtsp://<User1>:<User1 password>@<Intercom IP address>/mpeg/media.amp

Replace <User1> with the user name present in the intercom web interface (e.g. admin), <User1 password> with that user’s actual password, and <Intercom IP address> with the intercom IP address on the local network.

Ilevia Control

Step 7

Log in with your account in the Ilevia Control app. For more information on app configuration, refer to the related guide.

Step 8

Open the Ilevia Control app and go to settings, select Video intercom, then Device. In this window, select your intercom by clicking it, then press OK.
