1. Product Overview
The 2N Helios IP door intercoms can smartly replace traditional doorbell push-button
speakerphone panels and all wiring, bells and home intercom installations in buildings
with structured cabling. The intercoms provide more advanced and wider services
than standard home phones. The installation is very easy, all you need is connect the
intercom to the other LAN elements using a UTP cable and set necessary parameters.
Thanks to the integrated SIP protocol, the intercom can make use of all VoIP services:
call forwarding at absence (to another office, VoiceMail or a cellular phone) or call
transfer (from the secretarys office to the required person, e.g.).
The intercoms are equipped with a programmable number of quick dial buttons for
speed calling to the users whose numbers are included in the intercom Users list. Each
of the quick dial buttons can be assigned up to three phone numbers, which can be
dialled in parallel or sequentially. Thanks to an integrated time sheet it is possible to
configure each of the buttons in such a way that the called party is always accessible
and/or calls to selected phone numbers can be barred off the working hours.
Some 2N Helios IP models are equipped with a numeric keypad, which can be used as
a code lock or a standard push-button phone.
The 2N Helios IP intercoms help LAN users scan the area in front of the camera via
video streaming. Thanks to the full ONVIF support, the intercoms can become part of
the Video Surveillance System in your facility .
The 2N Helios IP intercoms can be equipped with an RFID card reader for authorised
access control and thus become a key part of your surveillance or attendance control
systems.
The 2N Helios IP intercom is equipped with a relay switch (and, optionally, other relays
and outputs), which controls the electric lock or other equipment connected to the
intercom. Its activation time and method can be programmed flexibly: it can be
activated by a code, automatically by a call, by pressing a button, and so on.
The following symbols and pictograms are used in the manual:

Warning
Always abide by this information to prevent damage to the device.
Caution
Important information for system functionality.
Tip
Useful information for quick and efficient functionality.
Note

2. Express Wizard for Basic
Settings
LAN Connection Setting
You have to know the intercom configuration interface address to connect to the LAN
successfully. Automatic IP address retrieval from the DHCP server is set by default in
the 2N Helios IP intercoms. Thus, if connected to a network in which a DHCP server
configured to assign IP addresses to all new devices is available, the intercom will
obtain an IP address from the DHCP server. The intercom IP address can be found in
the DHCP server status (according to the MAC address given on the production
plate), or will be communicated to you by the intercom voice function; refer to the
Installation Manual of your intercom model.
If there is no DHCP server in your LAN, use the intercom buttons to set the static IP
address mode, refer to the Installation Manual of your intercom model. Your intercom
address will then be 192.168.1.100. Use it for the first login and then change it if
necessary.
Now enter the intercom IP address into your favourite browser. We recommend you
to use the latest Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer 9+ versions as 2N Helios IP is not
fully compatible with earlier browser versions.
Use the name admin and password 2n (i.e. default reset password) for your first login
to the configuration interface.
We recommend you to change the default password upon your first login.
The intercom requires a password change upon the first login. Strong passwords are
only accepted: eight characters at least including one capital letter, one small letter
and one digit.

Remember the new password well or put it down just in case. Because if you forget
the password, you will have to reset the intercom to default values (refer to the
Installation Manual of your intercom model) and lose all your current configuration
changes.

FAQ: IP address - How to get IP address of 2N Helios IP

Firmware Update
We also recommend you to update your intercom firmware upon the first login to the
intercom. Refer to www.2n.cz for the latest firmware version. Press the Update
Firmware button in the System / Maintenance menu to upload firmware. The intercom
will get restarted upon upload and only then the updating process will be complete.
The process takes about 30 seconds.

SIP Server Connection Setting
Set the following parameters in the Services / Phone / SIP menu to allow your
intercom make calls and be accessible within your VoIP infrastructure.
Display name set the name to be displayed as CLIP on the called party's
phone, in the login window and on the web interface start page.
Phone number (ID) set the intercom phone number (or another unique ID
composed of characters and digits) to identify the intercom uniquely in calls and
registration.
Domain set the domain name of the service with which the intercom is
registered. Typically, it is equivalent to the SIP Proxy or Registrar address. If you
do not use a SIP Proxy in your intercom installation, enter the intercom IP
address.
If you use a SIP server (Proxy, Registrar), set the addresses for the following network
elements:
Proxy address set the SIP Proxy IP address or domain name.

Registrar address set the SIP Registrar IP address or domain name. The SIP
Proxy and SIP Registrar addresses are usually identical.
Registration enabled enable intercom registration with the set SIP Registrar.
If your SIP server requires authentication of terminal equipment, enter the following
parameters:
Password enter the password for intercom authentication.

Quick Dial Button Settings
All the 2N Helios IP models are equipped with quick dial buttons. If you press a quick
dial button, a call will be set up to the phone number assigned to the respective Users
list position.
Select position 1, which corresponds to quick dial button 1, in the Directory / Users
menu.
Enable the position in the Position Enabled field and enter the called station phone
number into the Phone Number parameter in the User Phone Numbers section.
You can also use the 2N Helios IP intercom with one or more IP phones without a SIP
server. Use the Direct SIP Call for outgoing calls and enter the called phone SIP
address (sip:phone_number@phone_ip_address) instead of the phone number.

Electric Lock Switching Settings
An electric lock can be attached to the 2N Helios IP intercoms and controlled by a
code from the intercom numeric keypad, or a code from the IP phone keypad during a
call. Connect the electric lock as instructed in the Installation Manual of your intercom
model.
Enable the switch in the Switch Enabled parameter in the Hardware / Switches /
Switch 1 tab, set the Controlled Output to the intercom output to which the electric
door lock is connected. Now set one or more activation codes for the electric door
lock switching.

This manual is valid for all members of the 2N Helios IP family and so some features
described herein are only available in selected 2N Helios IP models or need to be
activated with a valid licence key. This section provides a short list of differences
between the models and licences which affect the configuration options. If a function
is not available in all the models, there is a note in the respective subsection and
reference to this section.

Why are some features licensed?
Because we did not want every single customer who purchases our intercom, to pay
for all the advanced features we offer. We believe that most applications can do with
basic level, so the users do not need to pay for features they do not use.
Which features are licensed and what licence types are there?
Some 2N Helios IP functions are unavailable until a valid licence key is entered (refer
to the Licence subsection). The following types of licences are available:
Enhanced Audio (Part No. 9137905)

Enhanced Video (Part No. 9137906)
Enhanced Integration (Part No. 9137907)
Enhanced Security (Part No. 9137908)
Gold (Part No. 9137909)
G.729 (Part No. 9137902)
InformaCast (Part No. 9137910)
NFC (Part No. 9137915)
The G.729 licence allows the audio codec G.729 to be used.
The InformaCast licence allows the SingleWire InformaCast protocol to be used.
2N Helios IP Verso, Vario, Force, Safety and Video Kit do support this licensing
scheme in full. User only needs to observe which licences really make sense for him
for example, Enhanced Video licence for intercom without camera does not help
much. 2N Helios IP Vario with display already comes with preloaded Gold licence, so
the only possible upgrades are G.729 and InformaCast. 2N Helios IP Audio Kit does
support all licences except for G.729.
The NFC licence enables authentication via NFC-equipped mobile phones for selected
13 MHz RFID card reader models.
No licensed features are available for the 2N Helios IP Uni or 2N Helios IP Base
model.

The table below includes the functions that need to be activated by the licence keys
corresponding to the above mentioned licences. The licences can be combined
arbitrarily.

What other products follow this licence scheme?
2N SIP Speaker, which already comes with preloaded Gold licence, so the only
possible upgrades are G.729 and InformaCast.
2N Access Unit, which already comes with preloaded Security and Integration

licences, so the only upgrade is NFC licence. Other licences are not applicable to 2N
Access Unit. Please note that the NFC licence has a different ordering number for 2N
Access Unit: 916012.
Note
Full HTTP API function is available with the Gold or Enhanced

Integration licence only. Only Camera API and Switch API are available
without this licence.

Note
Extended switch setting options call/quick dial button switch

activation, switch time profile.
How do I get the licence?

Licences are generated by 2N according to the particular serial number. After you
decide which licence you want, you need to get the serial number of your unit and
contact your distributor for the licence key.
The licence itself comes as a key, alphanumeric string, so it can be easily sent via email
and copied and pasted into the intercom.
Licences are not limited in time. Once you have a licence, you have it for good.
In order to activate the licence, you need to log in to the intercom web interface and
paste the licence key into the System / Licence field. When you click Save, the
licensed features are immediately activated.
Tip
FAQ: License for 2N Helios IP How to get it
Can I have a demo licence?

Yes, there is an option for an 800-hour trial Gold licence period during which you can
try the licensed features. By default, this demo is disabled - enable it via the web
interface of the particular intercom in the System / Licence menu. There is a
countdown timer showing the remaining time after which all the licensed features will
be disabled again.
There is no trial for G.729 and InformaCast licences.

Here is what you can find in this subsection:
5.2.1 Users
5.2.2 Time Profiles
5.2.3 Holidays
5.2.4 Access Cards

5.2.1 Users
The Users list is one of the crucial parts of the intercom configuration. It contains user
information relevant for such intercom functions as quick dialling, RFID card/code
door unlocking, missed call e-mails and so on.
The Users list contains up to 1999 users (variable in the 2N Helios IP models)
typically, each user is assigned just one item (position 1 to 1999).
The Users list includes the users that can be called via the quick dial buttons and the
users that are assigned the RFID card, code, etc. access to the building.
Use the Hardware / Buttons menu to assign the quick dial users. By default, button 1 is
assigned to position 1 in the user list, button 2 to position 2 in the phone book, etc.
You can change the user and button settings as necessary. Most of the 2N Helios IP
intercoms are equipped with one or more quick dial buttons. Refer to the Installation
Manual of your intercom model for the quick dial button count and extending options.
The Search in directory function works as a fulltext search in position numbers, user
names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses. The match is found in all the positions.

Every record in the Users list includes the following parameters:
Name a mandatory parameter for easier user search, for example.

E-mail user e-mail address for sending missed call information. You can enter
more e-mail addresses separated with commas.
Virtual number number to be used for user calling via a numeric keypad. The
number can have 2 to 4 digits. Virtual numbers are not associated with user
telephone numbers. They are included in an independent numbering plan
allowing you to withhold user telephone numbers, especially in installations
where the quick dial button count is insufficient. The visitor enters a virtual
number via the numerical keypad and presses the * key. You are recommended
to place a clear user/virtual number list nearby including simple instructions for
use to facilitate this type of user calls. Enable this function in the Dial by Numeric
Keypad in the Hardware / Keyboard menu. The following options are available:
User phone numbers enter up to three user numbers to be called sequentially
in predefined time intervals or at the same time (group calls). You can assign a
time profile and the address of the PC on which the 2N Helios IP Eye
application is running to display the intercom camera image before call
answering, for example.
Disabled no user number can be entered via the numeric keypad.
User virtual number enter the user virtual number via the numeric keypad
and press * to start the call.
User position number enter the user position (01 1999) via the numeric
keypad and press * to start the call. This original FW 2.10 option is no more
recommended due to potential user management troubles.
User switch codes enter the switch activating user codes (door lock activation,
e.g.). A time profile can be assigned to each code.
User cards enter the user-defined access cards with/without a time profile.
Enable/disable double authentication (valid user card + switch activating code)
for each user.

User activation and deactivation codes enter the user-defined codes to activate
/deactivate speed dial and virtual number calling. Calls to a deactivated user are
automatically forwarded to the User deputy.
Refer to the Directory / Users menu for the Users settings. Use the navigation panel
for selecting the user positions easily and arrows for scrolling pages. Or, you can enter
the position number and push to move to the position quickly. If you know the
user's name, push to find its position.

List of Parameters
Position enabled enable calling to this user position.
Name enter the user name for the selected user position. This parameter is
optional and helps you find items in the user list more easily.
Photo add a photo for display. Click on the image to select a file with the
photo saved on the disk or scan an image via a web camera connected to the
PC. This parameter is available in display-equipped models only.
E-mail enter the user E-mail to which information on missed or successful calls
can be sent. Refer to the E-Mail subsection for more details.
Virtual number select a number to be used for user calling via a numeric
keypad. Enable this function in the Dial by Numeric Keypad in the Hardware /
Keyboard menu.
Authentication mode - set card + numeric code authentication for a user: apply a
valid user card and then enter one of the switch activating codes (within ten
seconds after tapping) to activate the switch in this mode.

You can assign up to three user phone numbers to each user position. In case the user
is inaccessible on one number, the following number will be dialled after a ringing
timeout. Enable the Parallel call to following number to enable dialling multiple
numbers simultaneously. The phone number validity can also be time profile-limited.
Phone number enter the phone number of the station to which the call shall be
routed. Enter the address sip:[user_id@]domain[:port] for Direct SIP calling, e.g.:
sip:200@192.168.22.15 or sip:name@yourcompany. Enter device:device_name for
calls to the 2N Helios IP Mobile application. Set the device name in the mobile
application. Enter /1 or /2 behind the phone number to specify which SIP
account shall be used for outgoing calls (account 1 or 2).
Time profile assign a time profile to each phone number to define the number
validity. If the profile in inactive, the phone number is not used and the following
phone number is dialled if defined.

Helios IP Eye address set the address of the PC to be sent a special UDP
message on each active user phone number call. With the aid of this message,
the 2N Helios IP Eye application displays the camera image screen for those
users who are not provided with a display-equipped videophone. Enter the
address as follows: domain[:port1][:port2], e.g.: computer.yourcompany.com or
192.168.22.111. The port1 and port2 parameters are optional and are used in case
there is Network Address Translation (NAT) between the PC and intercom and
the addresses have to comply with the router or another NAT-executing device.
The port1 (default value: 8003) parameter defines the destination port for the
UDP messages sent to 2N Helios IP Eye. The port2 (default value: 80)
parameter defines the destination port for the 2N Helios IP Eye intercom
HTTP communication.
Note
The 'Helios IP Eye Address' function is available in selected 2N Helios IP

models only (refer to the model and licence overview).
When Enhanced Integration is not licensed on a device, it is possible to
control the locks only when a call is in progress. If a call with user, who
has 2N Helios IP Eye address filled in, is in progress, no licence is

needed to control the locks.

Parallel call to following number enable group calling, i.e. calling to more phone
numbers at the same time. You can call the first two numbers, the last two
numbers, or all of the three user numbers in parallel. Answering one call
automatically terminates the other calls.
Parallel call to following deputy extend group calling to include the User
deputy.
User deputy select a user to which the user calls will be routed in the event of
User deputy select a user to which the user calls will be routed in the event of
inaccessibility. Enter user position number or use search button. The deputy
setting is applied when the user fails to answer the call to any of its phone
numbers within the predefined timeout, or if the user numbers are inaccessible
for other reasons (time profiles, user deactivation).

Note
The User Deputy function is available in selected 2N Helios IP models

only (refer to the model and licence overview).
Each intercom user can be assigned its activation/deactivation code for call routing
purposes. If a user is deactivated, calls are routed not to its phone numbers but to the
predefined user deputy at inaccessibility.
User activation code set a private user activation code: up to 16 characters

including digits 0-9 only. If the user activation code is the only code defined or
the activation and deactivation codes are identical, the activation code is used
both for user activation and deactivation.
User deactivation code set a private user deactivation code: up to 16
characters including digits 0-9 only.
User current state select the current state of the user.
Each user is assigned an access mode for intercom authentication.
Authentication mode set the authentication mode for a user - either simple or
a combination of the user card, numeric code and fingerprint, depending on
which authentication devices are installed. To activate the switch in the multiple
authentication mode, it is necessary to perform all the selected authentication
actions sequentially in ten-second intervals.
Valid from set the beginning of the mode validity term.
Valid to set the end of the mode validity term.

Each user can be assigned a private switch activation code. The user switch codes can
be arbitrarily combined with the universal switch codes defined in the Hardware |
Switches menu. If the codes are identical with the codes already defined in the
intercom configuration, the mark will appear at the colliding codes.
Code set a private user switch activation code: up to 16 characters including digits 0
9 only.
Time profile assign a time profile to the switch code to define the code validity.
If the time profile is inactive, the switch will not be activated by the code . If
multiple time profiles are assigned to a code, the code is valid only if one of the
profiles is active at least.
Each of the intercom users can be assigned one access RFID card. Refer to the Access
Cards subsection for details.
Card ID set the user access card ID: 632 characters including 09, AF. Each
user can be assigned just one access card. When a valid card is tapped on the
reader, the switch associated with the card reader gets activated. If the double
authentication mode is enabled, the switch can only be activated using both a
card and numeric code.

Time profile assign a time profile to the user access card to define the card
validity. If the time profile is inactive, th e user access card will be detected as
invalid. If multiple time profiles are assigned to a card, the card is valid only if
one of the profiles is active at least.
Tip
The user card ID can also be entered via an external USB card reader
(Part No. 9137421E).
Press and swipe the card through the USB card reader. The card
number will be automatically entered into the Card ID field.
Make sure that a PC driver is installed to make the USB card reader work
properly. Refer to www.2n.cz.

4. Tap the card on the card reader.
5. The card ID is successfully read.
Do not forget to save the configuration.

5.2.2 Time Profiles
Such intercom functions as outgoing calls and RFID card/numeric code access, for
example, can be time-limited by being assigned a time profile. By assigning a time
profile you can:
block all calls to a selected user beyond the set time interval
block calls to selected phone numbers beyond the set time interval
block RFID access for a user beyond the set time interval
block numeric code access for a user beyond the set time interval
block switch activation beyond the set time interval
Assign a time profile according to a week time sheet to define availability of the
selected function. Just set from-to or days in the week on which the function shall be
available. 2N Helios IP helps you create up to 20 time profiles (depending on the 2N
Helios IP model) that can be assigned to the function; refer to the Users, Access Cards
and Switches settings.
The time profiles are defined not only using the week time sheet but also manually
with the aid of special activation/deactivation codes that you can assign to them after
arriving in/before leaving your office, for example. Enter the activation/deactivation
codes using the numeric keypad of your intercom or phone (during the intercom call).
Refer to the Directory / Time Profiles menu for the time profile settings.
List of Parameters

Profile name enter a profile name. This parameter is optional and helps you
find items in the time profile list and select profiles in the switch, card and phone
number settings more easily.
This parameter helps you set time profiles within a week period. A profile is active
when it matches the set intervals.
If a day is marked as holiday (refer to Directory Holidays), the last table row (Holiday)
is applied regardless of the day in a week.
Make sure that the real time settings are correct (refer to the Date and Time
subsection) to make this function work properly.
Note
You can set any number of intervals within a day: 8:0012:00, 13:0017:
00, 18:0020:00, e.g.
To make a profile active for the whole day, enter one day-covering
interval: 00:0024:00.

Profile activation code set the profile activation code: 16 characters including
digits 09 only. If the activation code is the only code defined or the activation
and deactivation codes are identical, then the activation code is used both for
profile activation and deactivation.
Profile deactivation code set the profile deactivation code: 16 characters
including digits 09 only.
Profile current state select the current state of the user.
Note
If the profile activation/deactivation code is not defined, the profile state

is based on the time sheet exclusively.
If you apply a time profile together with the activation/deactivation
code, the profile will be active only if the time condition is met and the
profile is code-activated at the same time.

5.2.3 Holidays
Here select the bank holidays (including Sundays). You can assign them different time
intervals than to working days in their time profiles.
You can set holidays for the coming 10 years (click the year number at the top of the
screen to select a year). A calendar is displayed for you to select/unselect a holiday.
Fixed (annual) holidays are marked green and variable holidays (valid for the
particular year only) are blue. Click a date once to select a fixed holiday, click twice to
select a variable holiday and click for the third time to remove the holiday from the
holiday list.

5.2.4 Access Cards
Each intercom user can be assigned one or more access RFID cards. Typically, the
card ID is included in the users list together with such user data as phone numbers, E-
mail address and so on. Or, you can define the RFID cards in the Installed Cards list,
which defines a limited number of unassigned cards reserved for visitors, for example.
You can manage add, remove and modify items the list of installed cards manually
via the intercom configuration interface. The main advantage of this list is the option
to add/remove using the Service plus/minus cards without accessing the
configuration interface. Unlike the users list with its up to 1999 positions, the Installed
Cards may contain only 10 cards.
To add a card to the list, apply the plus card and then tap the card to be added on the
reader. The RFID card will be added if the list in not full and does not include the card
yet. To remove a card from the list, apply the minus card and then tap the card to be
removed on the reader. The RFID card record will be cancelled and access via this
card will be blocked.
Service cards help you add/remove cards to/from the list. Enter their IDs in the Plus
Card ID and Minus Card ID fields in the Service Cards: 632 characters including 09,
AF (i.e. hexadecimal number of the length of 24 to 128 bits). The number of
characters in the card ID can be different in different card types. However, it holds
true that cards of one and the same type have identically long IDs.
If your external card reader is connected to the intercom via the Wiegand interface,
the card ID is shortened to 6 or 8 characters for transmission (depending on the
transmission parameters). If you apply a card to the reader, you will receive a
complete ID, which is typically longer (8 chars or more). The last 6 or 8 characters,
however, are identical. This is useful for comparing card IDs with the intercom
database: if the IDs to be compared have different lengths, they are compared from
the end and match has to be found in 6 characters at least. If they have identical

lengths, all the characters are compared. This ensures mutual compatibility of the
internal and external readers. Go to the Directory / Access Cards / Records menu to
identify whether the card was tapped on the internal or external reader.
All cards applied via the reader or the Wiegand interface are recorded. Refer to the
Status / Access Log menu for the last 10 cards including the card ID/type, card
tapping time and other information if necessary. With small systems, you can make a
trick to enter card IDs: tap the card on the intercom reader and find it in the Access
Log. Double-click to select the card ID and push CTRL+C. Now that you have the card
ID in your box, you can insert it with CTRL+V in any intercom setting field.
Having been read, the card ID is compared with the intercom card database. If the
card ID matches any of the cards in the database, the appropriate action will be
executed: switch activation (door unlocking, etc.). To change the switch number to be
activated, use the Associated Switch parameter in the Hardware / Card Reader menu (
2N Helios IP Vario, Force, Safety models) or the Associated Switch parameter in the
Hardware / Modules menu of the card reader module (2N Helios IP Verso model).
Refer to the Directory / Access Cards menu for the access card settings.
List of Parameters
Cards
Plus card ID enter the service card ID for adding cards to the Installed cards: a
sequence of 632 characters including 09, AF.
Minus card ID enter the service card ID for removing cards from the Installed
cards: a sequence of 632 characters including 09, AF.

Card ID enter the access card ID: a sequence of 632 characters including 09,
AF.
Time profile assign a time profile to the user access card to define the card
validity. If the time profile is inactive, the user access card will be detected as
invalid.
Description enter such information as the card owner name and similar. The
description gets displayed in the Records menu whenever the card is applied
and helps you find the card list items more easily without affecting the intercom
function.

5.3.1 Switches
Switches provide a very flexible and efficient control of such intercom peripherals as
electric door locks, lighting, additional ringing signalling, and so on. 2N Helios IP allows
you to configure up to 4 (depending on model types) independent all-purpose
switches.
A switch can be activated:
by entering the valid code via the intercom numeric keypad or receiving a DTMF
sequence during a call.
by tapping a valid RFID card on the reader.
with a predefined delay after another switch activation.
by an incoming or outgoing call 1).
by pressing a quick dial button 1).
by receiving the HTTP command from another LAN device 1).
via Automation using the Action.ActivateSwitch action.
Switch activation can be blocked by an appropriately selected time profile if necessary.
If a switch is active, you can:
activate any logical output of the intercom (relay, power output).
activate the output to which the 2N Helios IP Security Relay module is

connected.
send an HTTP command to another device.
The switch can work in the monostable or bistable mode. The switch is switched off
after a timeout in the monostable mode, and switched on with the first activation and
off with the next activation in the bistable mode.

The switch signals its state:
by a programmable beep or a predefined user sound.

by a LED indicator if available in the intercom model.
by an open-door icon on the display if available in the intercom model.
List of Parameters
Switch enabled enable/disable the switch globally. When disabled, the switch
cannot be activated by any of the available codes (including user switch codes),
by a call or quick dial button.
Switch mode set the monostable/bistable mode for the switch. The switch is
switched off after a timeout in the monostable mode, and switched on with the
first activation and off with the next activation in the bistable mode.
Switch-on duration set the switch-on time for a monostable switch. This value
is not applied in the bistable mode.
Time profile assign the switch a time profile to enable switch-on. If the time
profile is inactive, the switch cannot be activated by a code, call or quick dial
button.
Distinguish on/off codes set a switch code mode in which odd codes (1, 3 ....)
are used for switch activation and even codes (2, 4 ...) are for switch
deactivation. This mode can only be used if the switch is set to the bistable
mode.
"Test the switch" button activate the switch manually to test its function, e.g.
an electric lock or another device connected.
Note
Switch time profiles are available with the Gold or Enhanced Integration
licence only.

Controlled output assign an electric output to the switch. Choose one of the
available intercom outputs: relay, power output, extender output. If you select
None, the switch will not control any electric output but can control external
equipment via HTTP commands.
Output type if you use the 2N Helios IP Security Relay module, set the output
type to Security. In the Security mode, the output works in the inverse mode, i.e.
remains closed and controls the 2N Helios IP Security Relay module using a
specific pulse sequence. If you use the inverse mode (i.e. the door is locked
when voltage is applied), set the inverse output type.
Note
2N Helios IP Vario be sure to set the internal power supply and

switching relay on the configuration connector.
2N Helios IP Force the security relay is connected to the DOOR + and

- terminals.
Note
A switch activation value higher than 1 s can be set for the security
output type. A value equal to or higher than 0.1 s can be set for the
normal and inverse output types.

The table above includes a list of universal codes that help you activate switches from
the phone or intercom keypad. Up to 10 universal codes can be defined for each
switch (depending on the particular intercom model).
Code enter a numeric code for the switch. The code must include 2 characters
at least but we recommend you to use four characters at least to make the code
accessible from the intercom numeric keypad. Codes 00 and 11 cannot be
entered from the numeric keypad. Confirm the code with *. The code length is
up to 16 characters.
Accessibility block the switch activation code entering from the intercom
numeric keypad or your phone.
Time profile assign a time profile to the switch code for validity control.
The zone code is an access code shared by a group of intercoms for switch 1
activation from the keypad.
Code enter a numeric code for the switch. The code must include 2 characters
at least but we recommend you to use four characters at least to make the code
accessible from the intercom numeric keypad. Codes 00 and 11 cannot be
entered from the numeric keypad. Confirm the code with *. The code length is
up to 16 characters.
Time profiles assign a time profile to the switch code for validity control. The
switch can be activated only if one of its time profiles is valid at least.

Activation by call enable switch activation by an incoming or outgoing call, for
example. During an outgoing call the switch is activated after SIP message 180
Ringing is received. The called party confirms ringing by this message. The
switch is active during the whole call in the bistable mode, and activated by the
call beginning and deactivated after the predefined switch-on duration in the
monostable mode.
Activation by quick dial button assign a quick dial button to the switch. The
switch is activated whenever the button is pressed.
Activation by time profile activate the switch by a pre-defined time profile. The
switch will remain active as long as the assigned time profile is active.

Note
Activation by a quick dial button is available with the Gold or Enhanced

Integration licence only.
Sound signalling set the sound signalling type for switch activation. Choose the
Short beep, Long beep (during the whole activation) or a User sound (refer to
the User Sounds subsection).
Display info enable/disable signalling of an activated switch on the display.
Synchronise with set switch synchronisation to enable automatic switch

activation after another switch activation with a predefined delay. Define the
delay in the Synchronisation delay parameter.
Synchronisation delay set the time interval between synchronised activations
of two switches. The parameter will not be applied if the Synchronise function is
disabled.

Note
The HTTP command sending is available with the Gold or Enhanced

Command sent upon activation set the command to be sent to the external
device (WEB relay, e.g.) upon switch activation. The command is sent via the
HTTP (GET request) and must be as follows: http://ip_address/path. E.g.:
http://192.168.1.50/relay1=on.
Command sent upon deactivation set the command to be sent to the external
device (WEB relay, e.g.) upon switch deactivation. The command is sent via the
HTTP (GET request) and must be as follows: http://ip_address/path. E.g.:
http://192.168.1.50/relay1=off
Tip
With an external relay, Part No. 9137410E, the following HTTP commands are
used:
To turn on the switch http://ip_address/state.xml?relayState=1 (e.g.:

http://192.168.1.10/state.xml?relayState=1)
To turn on for pre-defined time (default value is 1.5 s) http://ip_address
/state.xml?relayState=2 (e.g.: http://192.168.1.10/state.xml?relayState=2)
To turn off - http://ip_address/state.xml?relayState=0 (e.g.: http://192.

5.3.2 Audio
All the 2N Helios IP models are equipped with a speaker or power amplifier output to
which an external loudspeaker can be connected. Set the phone call and state
signalling volume control in this configurat ion section. Set the Master volume to
control the master volume of the device: volum e of calls, signalling tones, etc. Set this
parameter according to the ambient noise level. If the noise level is not constant, use
the Adaptive mode to increase the master volume temporarily depending on the
ambient noise level.
Model Master Volume
Vario -12 db .. +0 dB (150mW)
Force/Safety 1W -12 dB .. +6 dB (1W)
Force/Safety 10W -12 dB .. +20 dB (10W)
Uni -16 dB .. +2 dB (1W)
Verso -8 dB .. +8 dB (2W)
Audio/Video Kit -10 dB .. +10 dB
SIP Speaker -10 dB .. +10 dB

List of Parameters
Master volume set the master volume for the entire system. This setting affects
the volume of phone calls and all signalling tones.
Adaptive volume enable the adaptive volume mode in which the speaker
volume is adjusted automatically depending on the noise level of the intercom
installation site.
Maximum gain set the maximum gain to be applied to the master volume in the
adaptive mode.
Sensitivity threshold set the ambient noise threshold at which adaptive gain is
applied.
Current noise level display the current ambient noise level.
Current adaptive gain display the current adaptive gain of the master volume.
The value is determined by the difference of the Current noise level and
Sensitivity threshold and never exceeds the Maximum gain value.

Ringtone volume set the incoming call signal loudness.
Call-progress tone volume set the dial, ring and busy tone volume. In case the
call-progress tones are automatically generated by the PBX, this setting will not
be applied.
Key beep volume set the key beep volume. The volume values are relative
against the set master volume.
Warning tone volume set the volume of warning and signalling tones described
in the Signalling of Operational Statuses section. The volume values are relative
against the set master volume.
Switch activation tone volume set the volume of the switch activation tone.
The volume values are relative against the set master volume.
User sounds vol ume set the volume of the user sounds to be played. The
volume values are relative against the set master volume.
Default audio input set the default audio input (microphone, line input or audio
module input) to be used for phone calls and audio streaming.
Microphone input gain set the microphone input gain.

Microphone input gain set the microphone input gain.
Line input gain set the line input gain independently of the microphone gain
value.
Tip
Only at 2N Helios IP Audio Kit and 2N Helios IP Video Kit is

possible to configure microphone gain.
The microphone/line input gain setting is connected with the input
signal level and type of external microphone installation. The wide
gain range (0 to 39dB for a microphone input and -6dB to 24dB
for a line input) should be sufficient for most installations. Set a
value to ensure good audibility and eliminate excessive acoustic
feedback at high loudspeaker volumes with subsequent signal
saturation on the microphone/line input and thus acoustic echo
cancellation (AEC) deterioration.
Acoustic feedback filter set automatic suppression of acoustic feedback

(typically whistling) between the intercom speaker and phone handset if located
in close proximity to the intercom. This mode is disabled by default.
Switch on automatic detection of noise or microphone noise level threshold

exceeding. Process the threshold exceeding alarm using Event.NoiseDetected
and assign it to other user actions.

Noise level threshold set the microphone noise level threshold for alarm
setting.
Alarm start delay 0 set the time interval during which the signal must be above
the threshold to start alarm.
Alarm end delay set the time interval during which the signal must be below
the threshold to stop alarm.
Noise level graph display the signal level history. Red designates alarm
activation.

5.3.3 Camera
This menu is only available in the 2N Helios IP models that are equipped with an
internal camera or can be connected to an external camera. The camera signal can be
streamed directly into the call via a videophone, sent by E-mail, streamed via ONVIF
/RTSP to another device (a video surveillance device, e.g.), or simply HTTP
downloaded from the intercom in the JPEG format.
The following video signal sources can be used:
an internal integrated camera or external analogue camera (2N Helios IP Video

Kit only)
a standard external IP camera supporting RTSP stream with codecs MJPEG (640
x 480 max resolution) or H.264 (640 x 480 Base Line Profile max resolution).
The recommended framerate is 15 frames per second in either case. Higher
frame rates may result in undesired effects (less smooth playing).
The Camera menu helps you set such camera parameters as brightness, colour
saturation and external IP camera login data if necessary. Refer to the Services /
Phone, Services / Streaming and Services / E-Mail menus for the video call/streaming
parameters.

List of Parameters
Common Settings
Default video source set the default video signal source. Choose Internal
camera (or an analogue camera connected to the intercom) or External IP
camera. The change of the default video signal source is applied to the RTSP
stream and HTTP API. In 2N Helios IP Eye it is required to enable the external
camera manually, even when there is no internal camera present in the device. If
no internal camera is connected to the intercom, External IP camera can only be
selected. If the external camera is not connected or configured properly, N/A is
displayed on a blue background.

List of Parameters
Basic Settings

Dial by numeric keypad enable user calling via the numeric keypad by entering
the user position/virtual number and pressing *.
Hang up by numeric keypad enable termination of the active call by the # key
(or the key with a red phone at Verso). If the call was initiated by a quick dial
button, the same button has to be repressed; refer to the Button function during
call parameter.
Timeout for entering numbers set the maximum interdigit timeout for code or
phone number dialling via the intercom numeric keypad. When you enter a
number in the Telephone mode, i.e. after (or on the 2N Helios IP Verso
keypad) is pressed, and keep the maximum number length as set in the
Maximum number of dialled digits, the dialling will be confirmed automatically
when this timeout expires as if (or for 2N Helios IP Verso) was pressed. If
you dial a user position, virtual number or switch activation code, the dialling will
be rejected after this timeout unless confirmed with ( or in 2N Helios IP
Verso depending on the required function). Set the code entering limit in the
range of 315 s.
Limit unsuccessful access attempts activate temporary code blocking. After 5
invalid access attempts, code entering is blocked for 30 seconds during which
all the used codes are evaluated as invalid. The Enhanced Security licence is
required for this function.
Enable silent alarm activate the silent alarm function. Silent alarm can be
started by entering a code higher by 1 than the user switch code. If, thus, a user
is assigned switch code 123, silent alarm is started with 124. The Enhanced
Security licence is required for this function.
Telephone mode enabled enable call setup to phone numbers dialled via the
intercom numerical keypad. Set up a call as follows: press phone_number
(or phone_number for 2N Helios IP Verso). If you do not press (or
for 2N Helios IP Verso) as the terminating character, the dialling will be
confirmed automatically when the code entering timeout expires as if (or

5.3.6 Backlight
This tab helps you control the backlight level of nametags, buttons and brightness of
signalling LEDs.
If equipped with an ambient light level sensor, the intercom automatically chooses the
suitable backlight level within the set range of values. The selected intercoms allow
you to control the backlight brightness of name tags (buttons) and signalling LEDs
(illuminated pictograms). Refer to the table below:
Property/Model Verso Base Vario Force Safety Uni Audio Video

Kit Kit
Backlight level control Yes Yes Yes No
Ambient light level sensor Yes No No No
Independent name tag and Yes Yes No No

LED backlight level control

Brightness during day set the LED brightness percentage value for the day
mode.
Brightness during night set the LED brightness percentage value for the night
mode . If the Brightness during day and Brightness during night are set to one
and the same value, the ambient light level is ignored.
Current brightness display the current LED brightness value automatically
selected according to the ambient daylight level.
Poznmka
The brightness parameters affect the function, power consumption and

general appearance of your device. A high nametag and button
backlight value may, if the ambient light level is low, dazzle the persons
standing in front of the intercom and, in general, increase the power
consumption of the device. A low LED brightness value, on the other
hand, may, if the intercom is placed in direct sun, result in a lower LED on
/off contrast and potential LED state identification problems.

5.3.7 Display

5.4.1 Phone
The Phone service is one of the basic functions of the intercom: helps you establish
connections with other IP network terminal equipment. The 2N Helios IP intercoms
support the extended SIP and are compatible with and certified by the leading SIP
PBX and terminal equipment manufacturers (CISCO, Avaya, Broadsoft, etc.).
The intercom supports up to five parallel calls: 1 outgoing and up to 4 incoming calls.
Just one of the calls can be active the audio stream is interconnected with the
microphone and speaker and video stream with the camera. The other calls are always
inactive the microphone and speaker are muted, the intercom receives the DTMF
characters for the opponent to control the intercom (activate/deactivate profiles,
users, etc.).
Typically, the intercoms are used for outgoing calls and incoming calls are inactive
the microphone and speaker are muted. However, you can configure your intercom to
make incoming calls active and ringing; refer to the Calls tab. Press the * and # keys
on the numeric keypad to answer and terminate an incoming call.
The 2N Helios IP intercoms use the G.711, L16, G.722 and G.729 protocols (with a
licence key) to encrypt or compress audio streams and the H.263 or H.264 codecs to
compress video streams. Broadband codecs L16 and G.722 are available in selected 2N
Helios IP models only. Choose your preferential codecs in the Audio or Video tab.
Explanation of IP Telephony Terms

SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is a phone call signalling transmission protocol
used in IP telephony. It is primarily used for setting up, terminating and
forwarding calls between two SIP devices (the intercom and another IP phone in
this case). SIP devices can establish connections directly with each other (Direct
SIP Call) or, typically, via one or more servers: SIP Proxy and SIP Registrar.

SIP Proxy is an IP network server responsible for call routing (call transfer to
another entity closer to the destination). There can be one or more SIP Proxy
units between the users.
SIP Registrar is an IP network server responsible for user registration in a

certain network section. As a rule, SIP device registration is necessary for a user
to be accessible to the others on a certain phone number. SIP Registrar and SIP
Proxy are often installed on one and the same server.
RTP (Real-Time Transport Protocol) is a protocol defining the standard packet
format for audio and video transmission in IP networks. 2N Helios IP uses the
RTP for audio and video stream transmission during a call. The stream
parameters (port numbers, protocols and codecs) are defined and negotiated
via the SDP (Session Description Protocol).
The 2N Helios IP intercoms support three ways of SIP signalling:

via the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), which is the most frequently used
unsecured signalling method
via the Transmission Control Protocol ( TCP), which is less frequent, yet
recommended unsecured signalling method
via the Transaction Layer Security (TLS) protocol, where SIP messages are
secured against third party monitoring and modification
List of Parameters
The 2N Helios IP Phone settings are arranged in five tabs:
SIP 1 and SIP 2 complete SIP terminal settings

Calls incoming and outgoing call settings
Audio audio codec, DTMF transmission and other audio stream transmission
settings
Video video codec, video resolution and other video stream transmission
settings
SIP 1 and SIP 2
The 2N Helios IP intercoms allow two independent SIP accounts (SIP 1 and SIP 2
tabs) to be configured. Thus, the intercom can be registered under two phone
numbers, with two different SIP exchanges and so on. Both the SIP accounts process
incoming calls equivalently. Outgoing calls are primarily processed by account 1, or, if
account 1 is not registered (due to SIP exchange error, e.g.), by account 2. Select the
account number for the phone numbers included in the phone directory to specify the
account to be used for outgoing calls (example: 2568/1 - calls to number 2568 go via
account 1, sip:1234@192.168.1.1 calls to sip uri via account 2).

Display name set the name to be displayed as CLIP on the called party's
phone.
Phone number (ID) set the intercom phone number (or another unique ID
including characters and digits). Together with the domain, this number
represents a unique intercom identification in calls and registration.
Domain set the domain name of the service with which the intercom is
registered. Typically, it is identical with the SIP Proxy or Registrar address.
Test call display a dialogue window enabling you to make a test call to a
selected phone number, see below.

Use authentication ID enable the use of an alternative ID for intercom
authentication. If disabled, the phone number defined above is used for
authentication.
Authentication ID enter the alternative ID for authentication.
Password enter the password for authentication. The parameter is applied on if
your PBX requires authentication.

Proxy port set the SIP Proxy port (typically 5060).
Registration enabled enable intercom registration with the set SIP Registrar.
Registrar address set the SIP Registrar IP address or domain name.
Registrar port set the SIP Registrar port (typically 5060).

Registration expires define the registration expiry, which affects the network
and SIP Registrar load by periodically sent registration requirements. The SIP
Registrar can modify the expiry limit without letting you know.
Registration state display the current registration state (unregistered,

registering..., registered, unregistering...).
Failure reason display the reason for the last registration attempt failure: the
last error reply of the registrar, e.g. 404 Not Found.
SIP transport protocol set the SIP communication protocol: UDP (default), TCP
or TLS.
Trusted certificate specify one of the three sets of certificates issued by
certification authorities to verify the SIP server public certificate validity, refer to
the Certificates subsection. If none is included, the SIP server public certificate is
not verified.
User certificate specify the user certificate and private key to verify the
intercom authorisation to communicate with the SIP server. There are three sets
of user certificates and private keys, refer to the Certificates subsection.
Local SIP port set the local port to be used for SIP signalling. The parameter is
not applied until the intercom is restarted. The default value is 5060.
PRACK enabled enable the PRACK method for reliable confirmation of SIP
messages with codes 101199 .

REFER enabled enable call forwarding via the REFER method.
Send KeepAlive packets define whether the intercom shall, during a call, send
periodical SIP OPTIONS requests to inquire about the state of the called station
(to detect the station failure, e.g.).
IP address filter enabled enable the blocking of SIP packet receiving from
addresses other than SIP Proxy and SIP Registrar. The primary purpose of the
function is to enhance communication security and eliminate unauthorised
phone calls.
Receive encrypted calls only (SRTP) set that SRTP encrypted calls shall only
be received on this account. Unencrypted calls will be rejected. At the same
time, TLS is recommended as the SIP transport protocol for higher security.
Encrypted outgoing calls (SRTP) set that outgoing calls shall be SRTP
encrypted on this account. At the same time, TLS is recommended as the SIP
transport protocol for higher security.
QoS DSCP value set the SIP packet priority in the network. The set value is
sent in the TOS (Type of Service) field in the IP packet header. Value is entered
in decimal format. The parameter is not applied until the intercom is restarted.
Starting RTP port set the starting local RTP port in the range of the length of
60 ports to be used for audio and video transmissions. The default value is 5000
(i.e. the used range is 50605059). The parameter is only set for account 1 but
applies to both the SIP accounts.
External IP address set the public IP address or name of the router to which
your intercom is connected. If the intercom IP address is public, leave this field
blank.
RTP timeout set the audio stream RTP packet receiving timeout during a call. If
this limit is exceeded (RTP packets are not delivered), the call is terminated by
the intercom. Set the parameter to 0 to disable this function. The parameter is
only set for account 1 but applies to both the SIP accounts.
Calls
Call answering mode set the incoming call receiving mode: Always Busy - the
intercom rejects incoming calls, Manual - the intercom alerts incoming calls and
the user answers them using a numeric keypad button, and Automatic - the
intercom answers incoming calls automatically. You can set the call receiving
mode for each SIP account separately.

Ring time limit set the outgoing call setup and ringing time limit after which
the calls shall be automatically terminated. If the calls are routed to the GSM
network via GSM gateways, your are advised to set a value higher than 20 s.
Minimum value 1 s, maximum value 600 s. Configure 0 to disable this time limit.
Call time limit set the call duration limit after which the call is automatically
terminated. The intercom signals termination with a beep 10 s before the call
end. Enter any DTMF character into the call (# on your IP phone, e.g.) to extend
the call time. The limit is valid for both outgoing and incoming calls. Minimum
value 1 s, maximum value 3600 s. Configure 0 to disable this time limit.
Dial cycles limit set the maximum count of user deputy dial cycles if the user
dialled is inaccessible. The function helps you avoid deadlock if the User deputy
is set to the same value in the users list.

5.4.2 Streaming
The 2N Helios IP intercoms provide several audio/video streaming methods; refer to

the table below:
Transmission Description
method
JPEG/HTTP Static JPEG image transmission. Refer to the JPEG tab below.
MJPEG A series of consecutive JPEG images, the Server Push - multipart/x-mixed-

/HTTP replace method. Refer to the JPEG tab below.
RTSP + RTP RTSP with separate RTP/UDP audio and video streams. Supported both for audio
/UDP (G.711) and video (H.264, H.263, MPEG-2 and MJPEG). Refer to the RTSP tab
below.
RTP/RTSP RTP tunnelling via RTSP. Supported both for audio (G.711) and video (H.264, H.
263, MPEG-2 and MJPEG). Refer to the RTSP tab below.
RTP/RTSP RTSP tunnelling via HTTP. Supported both for audio (G.711) and video (H.264, H.
/HTTP 263, MPEG-2 and MJPEG). Refer to the RTSP tab below.
RTP/UDP- Uncontrolled RTP packet multicast. Supported for audio (G.711) only. Refer to the
Multicast Multicast tab below.

Explanation of Terms
RTP (Real-Time Transport Protocol) is a protocol defining the standard packet
format for audio/video transmission via IP networks. 2N Helios IP employs this
protocol for audio/video streaming. The RTP transport protocol is either UDP or
also RTSP and HTTP.
RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) is a network protocol for streaming
server control (controls setting up, launching and stopping of audio/video
streams).
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) helps transmit practically any contents
and is used primarily by internet browsers for web server communication. 2N
Helios IP uses the HTTP to transmit static JPEG images or MJPEG streams via
the HTTP Server Push.
IP Multicast is a way of parallel sending of IP packets from one source to
multiple stations via IP networks. 2N Helios IP uses IP multicast for sending and
receiving audio streams.
ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) is a set of video camera search,
configuration and administration specifications for the IP network. The 2N Helios
IP intercoms are ONVIF compatible and fully implement the ONVIF Profile S.
JPEG is a standard method of lossy compression of images.
MJPEG is a video stream encoding format in which each image is compressed
separately by JPEG. MJPEG encoding produces high-quality video at a
significantly higher bit rate compared to the methods mentioned below.
H.263 is a video stream compression standard used in telecommunications.
Unlike MJPEG, H.263 uses differences between consecutive images and provides
a significantly higher level of compression to the detriment of the video stream
quality.
H.263+ is like H.263, but supports a different bit stream packetisation method.
MPEG-4 part 2 is a video stream compression standard used mostly in areas
other than telecommunications, but often supported by IP camera and video
surveillance systems. In 2N Helios IP, the compression level and image quality
are comparable with the H.263 standard.
H.264 is a video stream compression standard. Compared to H.263 and MPEG-
4, H.264 provides an approximately identical level of video stream quality but a
half bit rate. This type of compression is sometimes called MPEG-4 part 10.
G.711 is one of the most common audio transmission standards in
telecommunications. It uses the sampling frequency of 8 kHz and data are
compressed using logarithmic compression.

List of Parameters
RTSP
The 2N Helios IP intercoms integrate an RTSP server, which can be configured in this
tab. The RTSP server allows for audio/video streaming. You can choose the data

5.4.5 Mobile Key
The 2N Helios IP intercoms equipped with the Bluetooth module allow for user
authentication via the 2N Mobile Key application available to devices with iOS 8.1 and
higher (iPhone 4s and higher phones) or Android 4.4 KitKat and higher (Bluetooth 4.0
Smart supporting phones).
User Identification (Auth ID)
The 2N Mobile Key application authenticates itself with a unique identifier on the
intercom side: Auth ID (128-bit number) is generated randomly for every user and
paired with the intercom user and its mobile device.
Poznmka
The generated Auth ID cannot be saved in more mobile devices than

one. This means that Auth ID uniquely identifies just one mobile device
or its user.

You can set and edit the Auth ID value for each user in the Mobile Key section of the
intercom phone book. You can move Auth ID to another user or copy it to another
intercom. By deleting the Auth ID value you can block the user's access.
Encryption Keys and Locations
The 2N Mobile Key intercom communication is always encrypted. 2N Mobile Key

cannot authenticate a user without knowing the encryption key. The primary
encryption key is automatically generated upon the intercom first launch and can be
re-generated manually any time later. Together with AuthID, the primary encryption
key is transmitted to the mobile device for pairing.
You can export/import the encryption keys and location identifier to other intercoms.
Intercoms with identical location names and encryption keys form so-called locations.
In one location, a mobile device is paired just once and identifies itself with one unique
Auth ID (i.e. a user AuthID can be copied from one intercom to another within a
location).
Pairing
Pairing means transmission of user access data to a user personal mobile device. The
user access data can only be saved into one mobile device, i.e. a user cannot have two
mobile devices for authentication, for example. However, the user access data can be
saved into multiple locations in one mobile device (i.e. the mobile device is used as a
key for more locations at the same time).
To pair a user with a mobile device, use the user's page in the intercom phone book.
Physically, you can pair a user locally using the USB Bluetooth module connected to
your PC or remotely using an integrated Bluetooth module. The results of both the
pairing methods are the same.
The following data is transmitted to a mobile device for pairing:
Location identifier
Location encryption key
User Auth ID
Encryption Key for Pairing

An encryption key other than that used for communication after pairing is used in the
pairing mode for security reasons. This key is generated automatically upon the
intercom first launch and can be re-generated any time later.

Encryption Key Administration
The intercom can keep up to 4 valid encryption keys: 1 primary and up to 3 secondary
ones. A mobile device can use any of the 4 keys for communication encryption. The
encryption keys are fully controlled by the system administrator. It is recommended
that the encryption keys should be periodically updated for security reasons,
especially in the event of a mobile device loss or intercom configuration leak.
Poznmka
The encryption keys are generated automatically upon the intercom first
launch and saved into the intercom configuration file. We recommend
you to re-generate the encryption keys manually before the first use to
enhance security.
The primary key can be re-generated any time. Thus, the original primary key
becomes the first secondary key, the first secondary key becomes the second
secondary key and so on. Secondary keys can be deleted any time.
When a key is deleted, the 2N Mobile Key users that still use this key will not be able
to authenticate themselves unless they have updated the encryption keys in their
mobile devices before deletion. The mobile device keys are updated at every use of
the 2N Mobile Key application.

List of Parameters
Location ID set a unique identifier for the location in which the selected
encryption key set is valid.
Export push the button to export the location ID and current encryption keys
into a file. Subsequently, the exported file can be imported to another device.
Devices with identical location IDs and encryption keys form a so-called location.
Import push the button to import the location ID and current encryption keys
from a file exported from another intercom. Devices with identical location IDs
and encryption keys form a so-called location.

Restore primary key by generating a new primary encryption key you delete
the oldest secondary key. Thus, the 2N Mobile Key users that still use this key
will not be able to authenticate themselves unless they have updated the
encryption keys in their mobile devices before deletion. The mobile device keys
are updated at every use of the 2N Mobile Key application.

Delete primary key delete the primary key to prevent the users that still use
this key from authentication.
Delete secondary key the 2N Mobile Key users that still use this key will not
be able to authenticate themselves unless they have updated the encryption
keys in their mobile devices before deletion. The mobile device keys are updated
at every use of the 2N Mobile Key application.
Pairing PIN validity set the authorisation PIN validity for user mobile device
pairing with the intercom.

Tip
In the case of loss of a mobile phone with access data proceed as

follows:
1. Delete the Mobile Key Auth ID value for the user to block the lost phone
and avoid misuse.
2. Re-generate the primary encryption key (optionally) to avoid misuse of

the encryption key stored in the mobile device.

5.4.6 Automation
The 2N Helios IP intercom provides highly flexible setting options to satisfy variable
user needs. There are situations in which the standard configuration settings (switch
or call modes, e.g.) are insufficient and so 2N Helios IP offers Automation, a special
programmable interface for applications that require complex interconnections with
third party systems.
Refer to the Automation Configuration Manual for the Automation function and
configuration details.
Note
The Automation function is available with the Gold or Enhanced


5.4.7 HTTP API
HTTP API is an application interface designed for control of selected 2N Helios IP

functions via the HTTP. It enables 2N Helios IP intercoms to be integrated easily with
third party products, such as home automation, security and monitoring systems, etc.
HTTP API provides the following services:
System API provides intercom configuration changes, status info and upgrade.
Switch API provides switch status control and monitoring, e.g. door lock
opening, etc.
I/O API provides intercom logic input/output control and monitoring.
Audio API - provides audio playback control and microphone monitoring.
Camera API provides camera image control and monitoring.
Display API provides display control and user information display.
E-mail API provides sending of user e-mails.
Phone/Call API provides incoming/outgoing call control and monitoring.
Logging API provides reading of event records.
Set the transport protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) and way of authentication (None, Basic or
Digest) for each function. Create up to five user accounts (with own username and
password) in the HTTP API configuration for detailed access control of services and
functions.
Refer to the HTTP API Configuration Manual for the HTTP API function and
configuration details.

Note
Full HTTP API function is available with the Gold or Enhanced

Integration licence only. Only Camera API is available without this
licence.
Tip
For the Video Preview feature at Gigaset Maxwell 10 phone it's needed
to set in HTTP API at the Camera API item Connection Type = Unsecure
and Authetntication = None.

5.4.8 User Sounds

5.4.10 Audio Test
The 2N Helios IP intercoms allow you to perform periodical tests of the integrated
speaker and microphone. For the test purpose, the integrated speaker generates one
or more short beeps. The integrated microphone receives the generated tone and the
test is successful if the tone is detected correctly. The test takes approximately 4
seconds. If the test fails (which may be due to an extreme surrounding noise level, e.
g.), a new test is carried out in 10 minutes. The result of the last test can be displayed
in the intercom confirmation interface or processed by the Automation.
Note
The audio test is available with the Gold or Enhanced Audio licence only.
If a call is active when the audio test starts, the audio test will be put off
until the call is terminated. The audio test will be performed the moment
the call is terminated.

List of Parameters

5.5.1 Network
As the 2N Helios IP intercom is connected to the LAN, make sure that its IP address
has been set correctly or obtained from the LAN DHCP server. Configure the IP
address and DHCP in the Network subsection.
Tip
To know the current IP address of your intercom, use the 2N Helios IP

Scanner, which can be freely downloaded from www.2n.cz, or apply the
steps described in the Installation Manual of the respective intercom: the
intercom communicates its IP address to you via a voice function.
If you use the RADIUS server and 802.1x-based verification of connected equipment,
you can make the intercom use the EAP-MD5 or EAP-TLS authentication. Set this
function in the 802.1x tab.
The Trace tab helps you launch capture of incoming and outgoing packets on the
intercom network interface. The file with captured packets can be downloaded for
Wireshark processing, e.g. (www.wireshark.org).
List of Parameters
Network
Basic

Use DHCP server enable automatic obtaining of the IP address from the LAN
DHCP server. If the DHCP server is unavailable or inaccessible in your LAN, use
the manual network settings.
Static IP address static IP address of the intercom, which is used together with
the below mentioned parameters if the Use DHCP Server parameter is disabled.
Network mask network mask.
Default gateway address of the default gateway, which provides
communication with off-LAN equipment.
Primary DNS primary DNS server address for translation of domain names to IP
addresses.
Secondary DNS secondary DNS server address, which is used in case the
primary DNS is inaccessible.
Hostname set the Helios IP network identification.

VLAN enabled enable the virtual network (VLAN) support (according to
recommendation 802.1q). Set the virtual network ID too to make the function
work properly.
VLAN ID select a virtual network ID in the range of 1-4094. The device shall
receive only the packets tagged with this ID. A wrong setting may result in a
connection loss and need to reset the device to factory values.
Required port mode set the preferred network interface port mode:
Autonegotiation or Half Duplex 10 mbps. The lower bit rate of 10 mbps may be
necessary if the used network infrastructure (cabling) is not reliable for the
100mbps traffic.
Current port state current network interface port state (Half or Full Duplex 10
mbps or 100 mbps).
Verify the network address accessibility verify the network address

accessibility via the Ping command in standard operating systems. Press Ping to
display a dialogue, enter the IP address/domain name and click Ping to send test
data to this address. If the selected IP address/domain name is invalid, a warning
is displayed and Ping remains inactive until the given IP address becomes valid.
The function progress and result are also displayed in the dialogue. Failed means
either inaccessibility of the given IP address within 10 seconds or inability to
translate the domain name into an address. If a valid response is received, the IP
address from which the response came and the response waiting time in
milliseconds are displayed.
Repress Ping to send another query to the same address.
802.1x
Device identity username (identity) for authentication via EAP-MD5 and EAP-
Device identity username (identity) for authentication via EAP-MD5 and EAP-
TLS.
MD5 authentication enabled enable authentication of network devices via the

802.1x EAP-MD5 protocol. Do not enable this function if your LAN does not
support 802.1x. If you do so, the intercom will become inaccessible.
Password enter the access password for EAP-MD5 authentication.
TLS authentication enabled enable authentication of network devices via the

802.1x EAP-TLS protocol. Do not enable this function if your LAN does not
support 802.1x. If you do so, the intercom will become inaccessible.
Trusted certificate specify the set of trusted certificates for verification of the
RADIUS server public certificate validity. Choose one of three sets of certificates;
refer to the Certificates subsection. If no trusted certificate is included, the
RADIUS public certificate is not verified.
User certificate specify the user certificate and private key for verification of
the intercom authorisation to communicate via the 802.1x-secured network
element port in the LAN. Choose one of three sets of user certificates and
private keys; refer to the Certificates subsection.
Note
This function is available with the Gold or Enhanced Security licence only.

Trace
In the Trace tab, you can launch capturing of incoming and outgoing packets on the
intercom network interface. The captured packets are stored in a 4 MB buffer. When
the buffer fills up, the oldest packets are overwritten automatically. We recommend
you to lower the video stream transmission rate below 512 kbps while capturing. Press
to start, to stop and to download the packet capture file.

5.5.2 Date and Time
If you control validity of phone numbers, lock activation codes and similar by time
profiles, make sure that the intercom internal date and time are set correctly.
Most 2N Helios IP models are equipped with a back-up real-time clock to withstand up
to several days' long power outages. If not equipped with this function, the intercom
loses the real time data upon power outage (or restart). Therefore, if the intercom is
powered up after a rather long period of time (after new intercom installation, e.g.),
time is set to the default value and has to be reset. You can synchronise the intercom
time with your PC anytime by pressing the Synchronise button.
Synchronise the intercom internal time with any available SNTP server if your intercom
is not equipped with a real-time clock.
Note
The intercom does not need the current date and time values for its
basic function. However, be sure to set these values when you apply
time profiles and display time of listed events (Syslog, used cards, logs
downloaded by HTTP API, etc.).
Practically, the intercom real-time circuit accuracy is approximately 0,005 %, which

may mean a deviation of 2 minutes per month. Therefore, we recommend you to
synchronise time with the NTP server to achieve the highest accuracy and reliability.
The intercom sends a query to the NTP server periodically to update its time value.

List of Parameters
Synchronise push the button to synchronise the intercom time value with your PC
time value.
Time zone set the time zone for the installation site to define time shifts and
winter/summer time transitions.
Time zone rule if the intercom is installed on a site that it not included in the
Time zone parameter, set the time zone rule manually. The rule is applied only if
the Time zone parameter is set to Manual.
Use NTP server enable the NTP server use for intercom time synchronisation.
NTP server address set the IP address/domain name of the NTP server used
for your intercom time synchronisation.
NTP time status display the state of the last local time synchronisation attempt
via the NTP server (Not Synchronised, Synchronised, Error).

5.5.3 Licence
Some 2N Helios IP functions are available with a valid licence key only. Refer to the
Model Differences and Function Licensing subsection for the list of intercom licensing
options.
List of Parameters
Licence key enter the valid licence key.

Licence key valid check whether the used licence key is valid.

Enhanced security check whether the functions activated by the Enhanced
Security licence are available.
Enhanced audio check whether the functions activated by the Enhanced Audio
licence are available.
Enhanced video check whether the functions activated by the Enhanced Video
licence are available.
Enhanced integration check whether the functions activated by the Enhanced
Integration licence are available.
NFC support check whether the NFC user identification support is available.
G.729 support check whether the G.729 audio codec is available.
InformaCast support check whether the InformaCast support is available.
Trial licence state check the trial licence state (non-activated, activated,
expired).
Licence expiry check the remaining time of the trial licence validity. 1 hour is
deducted automatically from the licence remaining time upon every restart and
factory reset; otherwise this time is not affected in any way.

5.5.4 Certificates
Some 2N Helios IP network services use the Transaction Layer Security (TLS) protocol
for communication with other LAN devices to prevent third parties from monitoring
and/or modifying the communication contents. Unilateral or bilateral authentication
based on certificates and private keys is needed for establishing connections via TLS.
The following intercom services use the TLS protocol:
1. a. Web server (HTTPS)
b. E-mail (SMTP)
c. 802.1x (EAP-TLS)
d. SIP
The 2N Helios IP intercom allows you to load up to three sets of trusted certificates,
which help authenticate LAN devices for communication with the intercom, and three
sets of user certificates and private keys for communication encryption.
Each certificate-requiring service can be assigned one of the three certificate sets
available; refer to the Web Server, E-Mail and Streaming subsections. The certificates
can be shared by the services.
2N Helios IP accepts the DER (ASN1) and PEM certificate formats.
Upon the first power up, the intercom automatically generates the Self Signed
certificate and private key for the Web Server and E-Mail without forcing you to load a
certificate and private key of your own.

Note
If you use the Self Signed certificate for encryption of the intercom web
server browser communication, the communication is secure, but the
browser will warn you that it is unable to verify the intercom certificate
validity.
Refer to the tables below for the current list of trusted and user certificates:
Press to load a certificate saved on your PC. Select the certificate (or private key)
file in the dialogue window and push Load. Press to remove a certificate from the
intercom.

Note
It is possible that certificate with private RSA key longer than 2048 bits will be
rejected and following message will be displayed:
Private key file or private key password was not accepted by device !

5.5.5 Auto Provisioning
The 2N Helios IP intercoms help you update firmware and configuration manually, or
automatically from a storage on a TFTP/HTTP server selected by you according to
predefined rules.
You can configure the TFTP and HTTP server address manually. The 2N Helios IP
intercoms support automatic identification of the local DHCP server address (Option
66).
Firmware
Use the Firmware tab to set automatic firmware download from a server defined by
you. The intercom compares the server file with its current firmware file periodically
and, if the server file is later, automatically updates firmware and gets restarted
(approx. 30 s). Hence, we recommend you to update when the intercom traffic is very
low (at night, e.g.).
2N Helios IP expects the following files:
1. hipMODEL-firmware.bin intercom firmware
2. hipMODEL-common.xml common configuration for all intercoms of one model
3. hipMODEL-MACADDR.xml specific configuration for one intercom
MODEL in the filename specifies the intercom model:
1. v 2N Helios IP Vario
2. f 2N Helios IP Force
3. sf 2N Helios IP Safety

4. ak 2N Helios IP Audio Kit
5. vk 2N Helios IP Video Kit
6. ve 2N Helios IP Verso
MACADDR is the MAC address of the intercom in the 00-00-00-00-00-00 format.
Find the MAC address on the intercom production plate or in the Intercom Status tab
via the web interface.
Example:
2N Helios IP Vario with MAC address 00-87-12-AA-00-11 downloads the following

files from the TFTP server:
hipv-firmware.bin
hipv-common.xml
hipv-00-87-12-aa-00-11.xml
Configuration
Use the Configuration tab to set automatic configuration download from the server
defined by you. The intercom periodically downloads a file from the server and gets
reconfigured without getting restarted.
Note
A few seconds' interruption of the display function occurs in the display-
equipped 2N Helios IP Vario models during reconfiguration. Therefore,

we recommend you to update when the intercom traffic is very low (at
night, e.g.).
List of Parameters
