1INTRODUCTION
We would like congratulate you for purchase of the new INTERCOMMODULE and we would like thank
you for your trust. That you’re able to cope right with the new device from the beginning, we
recommend that you carefully read the operating manual.
That’s how you get to know the INTERCOMMODULE quickly and comprehensively. In addition, the
operating manual is given you advices for installing and using your new device.
BAB TECHNOLOGIE
Figure 1: INTERCOMMODULE IP
Product name: INTERCOMMODULE IP
Usage: The INTERCOMMODULE (ICM) provides the connection between an IP-capable
video intercom system and a visualization application, such as CONTROL-L
based on EIBPORT or a client, equipped with the CONTROL T2 software.
Optional with KNX/TP interface (in preparation)
Mounting: DIN rail mounting
Article number: 10582 (IP)

INTERCOMMODULE
FUNCTION OVERVIEW1.1
With the INTERCOMMODULE it will be able to display on a SMARTSURFACE via Software CONTROL T2
an IP-capable video door-station system. In connection with the EIBPORT or CUBEVISIONMODULE there
is possibility, through the integrated visualizations on e.g. touch screen, receiving the sound and video
image of a video door-station and also controlling these (in preparation).
The INTERCOMMODULE is intended for usage in small systems and can provide up to 16 outdoor
intercom stations and 16 indoor stations.
A special feature of the INTERCOMMODULE is that video door intercom station cab be mixed from
different manufacturers.
INTERCOMMODULE OPERATING PRINCIPLES1.2
The INTERCOMMODULE is an application server for video and VoIP (Voice over IP) based on the open
source software FreeSWITCH. SIP compatible control units can communicate with it.
It is important to distinguish whether the video door station is a SIP server or a SIP client.
A SIP server is e.g. the ABB Welcome. The ABB Welcome has an IP gateway (83342) that works as a
server where it is required to be log in (at the INTERCOMMODULE).
Other intercom systems, such as the DoorBird or 2N only work as a client and therefore it isn’t required
to be explicitly configured in the INTERCOMMODULE.
The INTERCOMMODULE supports both SIP client and SIP server video door station. Thus, intercom door
station can be operated in both versions as "client mode" as well as "server mode".
a) Currently supporting "Client Mode" video door stations:
The company DoorBird
The company Firma 2N
b) Currently supporting "Server Mode" video door stations:
Company ABB / Busch-Jaeger Welcome together with the IP Gateway 83342
As indoor intercom station will be installed the software CONTROL T2 on Windows Touch Panel PCs (for
example SMARTSURFACE). The Touch Panel PC must be equipped with microphone and loudspeaker. To
improve the voice quality, we recommend the use of a DSP chip (Digital Sound Processor), e.g. the
CLEAR VOICE MODULE.
In preparation is the integration and control by the EIBPORT or the CUBEVISIONMODULE.

LED STATUS2.1
The INTERCOMMODULE has two DUO LEDs ("Power / Boot" and "Status"). Each DUO LED has one
green and one red LED. The upper LED is for power / boot, the lower LED is the status LED.
POWER / BOOT LED
LED display
Status
OFF
The device is not ready for operation. No operating
voltage is supplied
GREEN
The device is ready for operation.
Flashing ORANGE
The device is booting.
STATUS-LED
LED display
Status
OFF
The device is booting.
Flashing GREEN
The device has been started; the LED simulates a
"heartbeat". The flashing interval increases
depending on the device utilisation.
Explanation:
The green "Power/Boot" LED lights up as soon as the INTERCOMMODULE is supplied with power. Two
or three seconds after the power supply has been switched on, this LED also starts to flash red (flashing
orange) until the booting process has been completed. Then the LED is permanently illuminated green,
while the "Status" LED flashes green (simulates a "heartbeat"). The flashing frequency increases
depending on the device utilisation.
The INTERCOMMODULE takes for starting approx. 2 minutes for starting.

ESTABLISHING CONNECTIONS3.3
In order to configure the INTERCOMMODULE, a current browser and a network connection to the
device are required. If the device is in the condition of delivery, it can be accessed at the above-
mentioned IP address and the network settings must be adjusted to the address range, where necessary.
Please follow the information given in the chapter “ Adjusting the network setting of your computer ”for
this purpose.
3.3.1 ADJUSTING THE NETWORK SETTINGS OF YOUR
COMPUTER
In order to adjust the network settings of your computer and establish a connection to the device,
please proceed as described below:
Open the IP address settings (under Windows 7):
Click "Start Button" --> "Control Panel" --> "Network"
Select "Network Connection", then "LAN Connection" ("Intel PRO1000 GT" in the figure
below).

Example of a valid configuration for the factory settings of the INTERCOMMODULE:
Free IP-address: 192.168.1.228
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Now confirm your input with "OK".
Close all windows until the "Windows Network and Sharing Centre Settings" window is shown.
Thus, you have adjusted the network settings of your PC to those of the INTERCOMMODULE. You can
access the web interface of the INTERCOMMODULE by means of the browser. Restore the original
network settings of your PC by following the steps described above as soon as you have configured the
INTERCOMMODULE correspondingly.
If the IP address of your PC and your INTERCOMMODULE are in the same network mask, you can
continue with the configuration.

The configuration menu opens. In the menu item "Network" the following settings can be done:
IP-address/ subnet
mask / gateway:
Field for the static assignment of IP addresses. Please make also sure that the
subnet mask (often 255.255.255.0) and the gateway entry are correct. (Often
the IP address of the WLAN router).
Note: Without a correct gateway entry, the device will not be able to
communicate with the Internet.
DNS server:
DNS is the abbreviation for Domain Name System. The DNS server converts
Internet addresses, for example "www.bab-tec.de" into the IP addresses
"85.214.89.170" and vice versa. Without a valid DNS entry, NTP-, weather- or
UPnP services do not work.
(Often the IP address of the router. Alternatively, you can enter a public DNS
server).
NTP server:
NTP is a free service for synchronising the system time of Internet-compatible
devices. If it is not possible to establish the connection to an NTP-Server, the
system time must always be checked and adjusted manually.
NTP-Server list: e.g. http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/europe

Device name: Here, you can assign an individual device name for your INTERCOMMODULE. This name
is then displayed in the “Discovery Tool” and BAB STARTER.
System time: The current system time of the device is shown. Clicking the button synchronises the
system time of the device with that of the local PC. To synchronise the system time
automatically, please use the NTP service. See chapter “ Network ”.
Location: Edit the installation site so that the correct time zone can be set.
Note: The system time must be correct for the software to run properly. Please make sure that
the system time is always correct. If synchronisation with NTP is not possible, correct the system
time manually.

NETWORK4.3
The INTERCOMMODULE has no DHCP. The INTERCOMMODULE and the outdoor stations / gateways
must have a fixed IP address. If the outdoor stations / gateways don’t have a setting for a static (fixed) IP
address, they must receive a permanently assigned IP address by the DHCP service inside from router or
server.
IP-address/

gateway:
The network settings must be carried out statically. In case of doubt, contact
your network administrator as to which settings are to be carried out. Please
note that an IP address may never be assigned twice!
DNS server:
DNS is the abbreviation for Domain Name System. The DNS server converts
Internet addresses, for example "www.bab-tec.de" into the IP addresses
"85.214.89.170" and vice versa. Without a valid DNS entry, NTP-, weather-
and UPnP-service do not work. (Often the IP address of the router. Alternatively,
you can enter a public DNS server).
