Akuvox intercom integration with the Ilevia server

INTRODUCTION

Intercom systems are communication devices designed for instant, two-way audio exchange within specific areas. They typically consist of a master station and multiple sub-stations, allowing direct communication without the need for external networks. This guide explains how to integrate a Akavox intercom (Model: R20BX3 Ver.: 320.30.10.136);

Intercom configuration

Login in the web interface of the Akuvox intercom. Then access the Intercom menu and select Basic. Make sure the Call Type is set to Group Call. Then add a new caller ID into the Number parameter.

Access the Account menu, enter the a new Register name and a User name and a new Password of your choice. Enter the Ilevia server IP within the Server IP text field.

Ilevia Manager configuration

Open the configuration software Ilevia Manager. 1. Open the SIP tab from the Components library, 2. Add 1 SIP Group and 2 SIP Client.

Enter the parameters of the SIP Group. Here add the SIP address previously set up on the Fermax Intercom and the Ilevia’s IP address separated by a “@” sign as follows: <SIP-Address>@<Ilevia-server-IP-address> where “SIP-address” needs to be replaced with the actual SIP address created earlier within the Intercom web interface and <Ilevia-server-IP-address> needs to be replaced with the real Ilevia server’s IP address.

Select the first SIP Client component. Add the SIP address with the right SIP ID, the SIP ID is a specific number of your choice. This first SIP Client component represents the Ilevia control app client that will receive the call once the bell is rang. Lastly Add the Admin tag, this tag allows the Ilevia control app client to subscribe to the SIP client list.

Finally add the second SIP Client component that represents the Ilevia Control App inside the SIP group‘s SIP client list.
