Interface description

By default, all elements are displayed in the SIP-panel interface. If necessary, some interface elements can be disabled (see Advanced settings of the SIP-panel interface object). Below is an example when all interface elements are displayed.

The SIP-panel The SIP Panel interface consists of two three tabs. The Call tab allows receiving and making calls. The Incoming tab displays the list of incoming calls and the calls on hold. The Archive tab lists the incoming and outcoming calls and allows the audio that can be listened and/or playback of the archived calls with the viewed using the corresponding controls.

Address book

The address book is in the upper part of the Archive tab, it contains the numbers added for the current SIP-operator during the SIP-terminal configuration. To call a number from the address book, double-left-click on it. The dialing panel is displayed in the middle of the window.

The address book may be empty if users and/or permissions are not configured in Intellect or if current user does not correspond to any SIP-operator while the default SIP-operator is not selected (see Selecting the default SIP-operator)

Making a call

To make a call from the panel, select a number in the address book or dial the number manually, and then click on the Image Removed button to start a video+audio call, or the Image Removed button for an audio call. In both cases, both video and audio are transmitted from the SIP-device, but in the second case, the video stream from the operator’s camera is not sent to the device.

Info
titleNote.

If camera, microphone and/or dynamic were selected for operator while configuring the system and if the SIP devise supports the corresponding function, then video and audio are transmitted to the SIP device from the operator's microphone and camera – see also Selecting speaker, microphone and camera for SIP operator.

During the call, the SIP Panel window will be displayed on top of all windows and will look like this:

Image Removed

The information field at the top of the window displays the name of the SIP terminal, the number and duration of the call.

The buttons at the bottom of the panel provide the call control:

Image Removed Enable/disable the operator's camera.

Depending on the operator Default settings, you may need to log into the SIP-operator authorization window when you first log into the SIP-panel.

Info
titleNote

The Call, Incoming and Archive tabs will not be available until the SIP-operator is authorized.

SIP-operator authorization window

The SIP-operator authorization window contains a list of available SIP-operators (see Operator settings of the SIP-panel interface object). For authorization, you need to double-click the SIP-operator under which you will be logged in. The number of the current SIP-operator will be displayed in the upper right corner of the SIP-panel.

If the SIP-operator is already authorized in any SIP-panel, then this operator will be highlighted in red in other SIP-panels. You cannot log in under an already authorized SIP-operator.

Image Added

After the Server/Remote Client reboot, the previously authorized SIP-operator will be logged in automatically. If you log off the current user in Intellect and log in again as the same user, you will need to be authorized again.

Info
titleNote

The authorization window may also open in the following cases:

  • If during the Server/Remote Client reboot, the same SIP-operator was logged in on another Server/Remote Client.
  • If the User rights mode is selected and the current registered Intellect user does not correspond to this mode (see Operator settings of the SIP-panel interface object).

If, while working with the SIP-panel, you need to log out of the current SIP-operator without unloading the Server/Remote Client, click on the operator number in the upper right corner.

The Call tab

The interface of the Call tab of the SIP-panel is shown in the figure:

SIP Panel control from the Map

If the Display only when calling option was enabled during the system setup, the SIP Panel is not displayed if there are no incoming calls (see Configuring the SIP Panel interface object). In this case, you can initiate a call using a macro command, or from the Map using the Call (forward/take) command in the function menu of the SIP-device and/or SIP-operator — as a result, the SIP Panel window will be displayed (see also Working with the map). Also, you can put the current call on hold or resume the call using the appropriate commands in the object menu on Map.
