Integrating the Behnke Sprechstelle 2.0 into the Behnke Intercom System
1. Introduction
This setup guide describes how to integrate a Behnke SIP 2.0 into an existing Behnke intercom setup. It is assumed that:
- all devices have already been started,
- the basic initial setup has been completed,
- valid IP addresses have been assigned,
- the web interfaces of all devices are reachable,
- a Behnke indoor station with a Behnke Station in intercom mode has already been set up.
If this has not yet been done, the settings can be made using the setup guide
A Behnke door station calls two indoor stations at the same time
.
Recommendation: For this setup, it is strongly recommended to configure fixed IP addresses (static IP addresses) on all devices. This ensures that direct IP dialing and the camera connection keep working permanently and that the devices do not lose each other after a restart or a DHCP change.
2. Network overview
| Device | IP address |
|---|---|
| Behnke Station | 192.168.50.85 |
| Behnke indoor station | 192.168.50.173 |
| Behnke SIP 2.0 | 192.168.50.217 |
| Camera of the SIP 2.0 | 192.168.50.182 |
3. Configuring the Behnke SIP 2.0
The Behnke SIP 2.0 does not support an intercom mode. The door station must therefore register itself as a SIP participant. In addition, direct IP dialing must be enabled.
3.1 Self-registration of the SIP 2.0
Menu:
Network → SIP settings
Make the following settings:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Account | 100 |
| Phone number / user name | 100 |
| Name | 100 |
| SIP authentication ID | 100 |
| SIP authentication PIN | 100 |
| SIP authentication domain | 192.168.50.217 |
| SIP registrar | 192.168.50.217 |
Note: In this scenario, the SIP 2.0 registers at its own IP address. This allows the indoor station to reach the door station via direct IP dialing without requiring an external SIP server.
3.2 Enabling direct IP dialing
Menu:
Network → SIP settings
Enable the following setting:
- Direct IP dialing: Active
3.3 Checking the SIP registration
After saving the settings, the status screen of the SIP 2.0 should show the status "Registered".
3.4 Storing the target number in the button
So that the SIP 2.0 can dial the indoor station directly via IP, the IP address of the indoor station must be stored in the button configuration.
Menu:
Select number
Enter the following number:
| Button | Number |
|---|---|
| Number | 192.168.50.173 |
Note: Direct IP dialing only works if the IP address of the remote station remains unchanged. The use of static IP addresses is therefore strongly recommended.
4. Configuring the Behnke indoor station
4.1 Setting the number of IP stations
Menu:
Intercom
Under IP stations, set the number to 1.
4.2 Adding the SIP 2.0
Then add the SIP 2.0 as a new station.
Make the following settings:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | BT-IP 2 Generation |
| Name | Serie 2.0 |
| Number | sip:192.168.50.217 |
| IP address or host name | 192.168.50.217 |
| Access type | Access |
| UDP code to open the access | - |
| DTMF code to open the access | 0 |
| Visualized opening duration | 5 |
| Camera type | Behnke Type A |
| IP address or host name of the camera | 192.168.50.182 |
| Camera user | root |
| Camera password | Admin |
| Preferred view | Center |
5. Function test
After completing the configuration, the following check should be performed:
- Trigger a call at the SIP 2.0.
- The indoor station should ring.
- The camera image of the SIP 2.0 should be displayed on the indoor station.
- The door opener function should be tested.
Important
The SIP 2.0 and the indoor station can be registered with an external SIP server at the same time. The self-registration of the SIP 2.0 described here does not affect the registration with another SIP server.
Note
Recommendation: For installations with direct IP dialing and a camera connection, fixed IP addresses should always be used. Note: Direct IP dialing only works if both devices are in the same network or if there is a suitable routing connection between the networks.
