a SIP Gateway.
e. SIP telephone is connected to N-8000 station via virtual SIP Client station
in a SIP Gateway.

Function example
3.1 Details of functions
The following functions exclude a and b.
3.1.1. Audio conversion c.
A SIP Gateway converts audio from an N-8000 to SIP telephone and vice versa.
Both sides have a different sampling frequency and audio codec.
- N-8000 – 16 kHz, 8 kHz/ G.722
- SIP system – 8 kHz/ G.711 u-law
3.1.2. Call from N-8000 to SIP
The number of digits in the extension dial plan has be the same when
configuring the extensions of the N-8000 and
SIP system (2, 3, or 4, etc.). If the number of digits don’t match between the
N-8000 and SIP system, then the new
SIP gateway won’t function properly.
To call from an N-8000 phone to a SIP phone, simply dial the extension number
of the SIP phone you would like to reach, and the new SIP gateway will
establish the connection with the intended destination.
The SIP phone will receive the call through the new SIP gateway and the
display will show the N-8000 station Caller
ID (or extension number) in addition to a Caller ID Prefix (refer to Chapter 3
for more details).
System example
Operation example
| Action| Result ext.
---|---|---
<To dial from Intercom 10 to SIP 92>
1, 0| Dial SIP extension 92| Automatically transfers to SIP phone 92
9, 2
3.1.3. Call from SIP to N-8000
To call from a SIP phone to an N-8000 phone, you will need first to enter an
Access Code. Each SIP phone will have its own dedicated Access Code (can be
configured by the user). The SIP gateway can support up to 5 SIP phones which
means up to 5 Access Codes.
After dialing the Access Code, you have up to 5 seconds to dial extension
number of the N-8000 station would like to reach, and the new SIP gateway will
establish the connection with the intended destination.
The N-8000 station will receive the call through the new SIP gateway and the
display (if available) will show the SIP phone Caller ID (or extension number)
with the station name as configured in the N-8000 software.
With the introduction of Access Code, a SIP phone is now capable to call any
N-8000 station on the network and not limited only to 5.
An Access Code represent the virtual SIP extension (refer to Chapter 3 for more details).
System example
3.1.4. Paging function f.
Paging from a SIP phone to N-8000 system. 
3.1.5. Control functions
Door remote control from SIP telephone to Door stations.
Chapter 3: Settings
- SETTINGS
1.1. SIP Gateway Settings Configuration
The SIP Gateway Settings page includes 2 sections: SIP settings (steps 1-2) and N-8000 settings (steps 3-4).
Step 1. SIP Server Settings:
a) Insert the IP address of the SIP Server.
b) Select the port Number (5060 by default).
c) Select the transport protocol (UDP by default).
Step 2. Virtual SIP Clients Settings:
a) Define the 5 Access Codes as virtual SIP extension. Register the same in
the SIP server.
b) Select a password for each virtual SIP extension.
c) Insert the IP address of the PC where the SIP Gateway is installed.
d) Select an RTP Port Number for each virtual SIP extension (4001-4005 by
default).
Step 3. N-8000 Settings:
a) Upload the last updated N-8000 Settings file (.pi8)
b) Set N-8000 Dial Input Timeout (up to 5 sec). This is the time required for
the SIP Gateway to establish the connection between the N-8000 station and the
SIP phone.
c) Set SIP Client Dial Input Timeout (up to 5 sec). This is the max time a
user have to dial an N-8000 extension number after dialing up the Access Code
(5 sec is recommended).
d) Set the Caller ID Prefix so once a SIP receives a call from an N-8000
station, the display will show the Caller ID Prefix + the N-8000 extension
number in the name section. For example, if the Caller ID Prefix is set to
“Ext.”, then once N-8000 extension 10 called SIP Phone extension 90, the SIP
phone display will show “Ext.
10” in the name section.
e) FOR ASTERISK SERVERS ONLY, you can enable the “Override SIP Extension” to
temporarily change the virtual SIP extension from its predefined value to the
N-8000 station extension number when calling from N-8000 to SIP. For example,
if N-8000 station extension 10 is calling SIP extension 90, then the SIP phone
display will show 10 in the caller extension section instead of 70.
Step 4. Virtual N-8000 Settings:
a) Fill the equipment number and line number that match the virtual settings
in the N-8000 software (refer to section 1.3 for more details).
b) Fill in the SIP Client numbers that match the virtual settings in the
N-8000 software (refer to section 1.2 for more details). 
1.2. SIP Gateway Home Page
The SIP Gateway Home page includes 2 sections: N-8000 Terminal Status and SIP
Client Status.
The N-8000 Terminal Status shows the status of the connection between the SIP
Gateway and the N-8000 system.
The SIP Client Status shows the status of the connection between the SIP
Gateway and the SIP server. 
1.3. N-8000 Software Configuration
In the N-8000 Setting software, the SIP Gateway is defined as N-8000EX. Insert
the IP address and the port number (default is 80) of the PC where the SIP
Gateway is installed.
In this example, the SIP gateway is defined under Equipment #3. 
Under “Station No.”, fill in the SIP extension number you would like to call
(Line 1 to 5 only). These numbers should match with the “SIP Client #” in the
Virtual N-8000 Settings (section 1.1 – Step 4).
The station name shall reflect the room/space where the SIP phone is located.
