Alert Levels

Alert Level Management

Alert Levels allow the Enterphone server to adjust its access control behaviour globally. Controlled Area Schedules and Access Groups can be restricted by alert levels. As a security level escalates, the Enterphone server can restrict access accordingly. For example, a front entrance of a building is open during office hours. However, when the alert level is escalated to HIGH, the system can automatically lockdown the front entrance by overriding the open schedule.

Alerts Levels

...

When enabled in the license file Enterphone Admin, the current alert level is always shown at the top of the page.

...

In this example, Access Groups Standard Employees have no access when the alert level is “High” or “Severe”.

Primis/Enterphone V12 updates

Enterphone Mobile App Enhancements

V12 Enterphone can make SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) calls to Identiv’s Enterphone Mobile App. Once enabled in the license, the enterphone panel will be assigned a unique SIP user account.

To verify the SIP account registration status

1. Go to System->Enterphone->SIP 

2. The SIP account name is shown under “User”

3. Look for “Registration Status”

4. If the status is “Not Registered”, click “Register” to register the SIP account.
   

   Image Added

5. Once registration is done; statuses such as Registration, Ping Response and Query Response should show “Ok”. Should any one of the three statuses fail, please contact Identiv support.
   

   Image Added

Differences in SIP-Enabled Panels

1. Each tenant is entitled to a SIP account. 

2. Once a suite is assigned to a tenant/user that owns a SIP account, that suite cannot be shared by other tenants. However, suites can be shared among non-SIP users.

3. The tenant can register his/her Enterphone Mobile App with the SIP account’s QR code which is available from Primis Web Admin.

4. For SIP/Enterphone Mobile equipped tenants, SIP accounts will be the primary number to calls. The regular suite phone number will be the alternate number;  that is, when SIP calls would not go through, the Enterphone panel will dial the regular number. The regular alternate number under suites will be ignored in this case.

5. Note that “snapshots” will not be available once SIP is enabled. This is because WebCam is occupied by the SIP client on the Panel.

To create a SIP account for Enterphone Mobile

1. Go to Users

2. Either create or edit an existing user

3. Click “Create SIP Account”

5. Alternatively, administrators can send SIP account registration emails to end users by clicking the “Email QR Code” button:

...

Once this email is received by the end user’s mobile device; clicking the link in the email can register the device to the Identiv SIP network. If the Enterphone App has not been installed, this link will automatically download it from the internet.

Primis Server V12 SIP Support

Primis V12 server can work with SIP capable Enterphone panels in a main/peer network.

To verify that the server is connected to Identiv’s SIP service.

1. In System->Enterphone->SIP, verify that both Ping and Query Responses are of “Ok” status.

2. Note that the “Register” button is only necessary when API or SIP domains have changed. 

...

3. All other administrative functions remain the same as that in Enterphone V12 Panels (e.g. add/edit users/suites, SIP account creation/enrollment).
