1 Introduction
This document describes the conguration of the Pulse System using:
- STENTOFON IP intercom stations
- STENTOFON IP speakers
- 3rd-party IP telephones
- IP telephone gateways
- STENTOFON IP DECT 300
1.1 Pulse System Overview
STENTOFON Pulse is an IP-based intercom system for upto 16
intercom stations. The system works with all STENTOFON IP intercom
stations. In addition, it is possible to extend the system with up to 10
3rd-party SIP terminals and 4 SIP gateways. One of the STENTOFON
IP intercom stations is designated as the Pulse Server, which acts as
a SIP server, managing how calls are set up and routed, and also is the
single point for conguration of all intercom stations in the system.
LAll IP intercom stations in a Pulse installation must be located on
the same LAN (IP subnet).
1.2 Pulse SIP Licenses
The SIP station license allows you to extend your system with IP
telephones, IP DECT cordless phones, and PC and mobile VoIP clients.
The SIP trunking license allows you to connect to other telephone
systems using SIP trunks or analog and mobile network gateways.
License Item Number

2 PulseSystemInstallation&Conguration
The setup procedure for the Pulse system is as follows:
1. Plan the installation
2. Connect and set up Pulse Server
3. Connect other intercom stations
4. Congure directory (phonebook)
5. Verify system setup
2.1 Plan the Installation
2.1.1 Cabling
● The cable between the PoE network switch and the station must be
Category 5 cable (Cat 5) or better
● Maximum cable distance between the PoE switch and the station is
100 meters
●All intercom stations in a Pulse installation must be located on the
same LAN (IP subnet)
2.1.2 Planning the System
When planning a Pulse system, you have to:
● Decide on the type of IP intercom for each location: entrance,
reception, elevator, etc.
●Select which intercom station should be the Pulse Server (usually a
master station)
● Assign directory (phone) number and name to intercom stations
● Assign IP addresses and settings
A typical installation plan may look like the following:
6
A100K11311
Pulse Technical Manual
2.1.3 Directory Number & Name
Directory Number is the number used to dial to the intercom station. It
is recommended to use a two-digit number. Name is a logical name you
can assign to the station.
2.1.4 IPAddresses&Conguration
The Pulse Server station must have a static IP address. Other IP
intercom stations may use static addresses or an automatic (DHCP) IP
address assignment.
IP addresses must be unique in your network. These addresses are
normally managed by the IT department. Hence, you should consult
your IT department on the IP addresses to use in the network.
2.2 Connect and Set Up Pulse Server
2.2.1 Connecting Pulse Server to the Network
One of the intercom stations must be set as the Pulse Server. The Pulse
Server acts as a server for the other intercom stations in the system.
Any station can be a Pulse Server, but it is recommended to use a
master station.
LThere can only be one Pulse Server in the installation.
● Connect the LAN port of the Pulse Server station to a PoE network
switch.
LDo not connect any other stations at this point
All STENTOFON IP intercom stations, with the exception of the Turbine
stations and the Dual Display station, have two RJ45 network ports:
● LAN port is for connecting to the network
● AUX port is for connecting to auxiliary equipment such as a PC.

3.1 CongureCallandAudioSettings
It is optional to congure the call and audio settings. Default settings will
be used if they are not congured.
●Select Server Management > ServerConguration> Call and
Audio Settings
The Call and Audio Settings menu include the following parameters:
Autoanswer
Unchecked: Ringing Mode - the station will ring when it is called.
Checked: Open Mode - the call will be automatically connected when
the station is called. Optionally, a time period could be set for ringing
after which the station goes into open mode.
Auto-answer is typically enabled (checked) for substations and not for
master stations.
Disconnect By Button
When Enabled the call button will function as a cancel button during
conversation. This parameter is applicable to substations with a call
button.
Activate Relay On Event
Most STENTOFON IP stations (except for the Desktop Master and
Dual Display station) have a relay. Here, you can select the events that
activate the relay. The available events are:
● DTMF <#> - Reception of a DTMF (keypad) digit from a remote
station during the call
● Ringing
●In call
When the relay is activated, this parameter determines how long the
relay should stay ON.
Speaker Volume
This parameter sets the speaker volume level (0-7) for the station.

all stations in one operation be checking the Add all stations box.
There is a Save button for each group call.
● Remember to click Save before you make changes to the next group
call.
Troubleshooting
Q: When making a group call, the ding-dong chime is heard in the
stations, but there is no audio.
A: The problem is that the multicast audio does not reach the stations,
which may be due to two things:
16
A100K11311
Pulse Technical Manual
● If the stations are using static IP addresses, you need to set the
Gateway address for all stations. Log into the Pulse Server, go
to Main Settings and set the Gateway address to be the Pulse
Server IP Address (unless you have a real gateway). Go to Server
Management > ServerConguration, click Save then Apply. Now
all stations should have a gateway address.
● The network switch may be dropping multicast packets (For
example, Linksys ‘business series’ switches drop all multicast
packets with default conguration). If this is the problem, check the
manual for the network switch.
3.6 CongureRinglist
Log on to the web interface of the station that will be making the call to
congure the ringlist of the stations that should be called.
To congure a ringlist:
●Select SIPConguration > Direct Access Key Settings
There are variants of ringlists that can be set such as ringing time
intervals, loopback, and ringing together with previous stations.
3.6.1 Ringlist with Ringing Time Intervals
The above example ringlist settings may be illustrated as follows:

Forbidden
The station is restricted to call via the gateway due to Station Proles
settings. In the Pulse Server station:
●Select Server Management > Station Proles
●Enable the station to call the Gateway.
Error code 488
This is most likely due to a codec mismatch. Check that the codec in the
SIP gateway is set to G.711U-law.
Disconnected. No number 0
● The SIP Gateway is not registered to the Pulse Server station. The
SIP Gateway registration can be veried via the Pulse Server:
- Select Server Management > Server Monitoring
