EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION

If used in an emergency communication application, the 8063 should be routinely tested. SNMP supervision is recommended for assurance of proper operation.

DRY INDOOR LOCATION ONLY

The 8063 IP Door Controller is intended for dry indoor locations only.

CAT5 or CAT6 connection wiring to an IEEE 802.3af compliant network PoE switch must not leave the building perimeter without adequate lightning protection.

No wiring connected to the 8063 IP Door Controller may leave the building perimeter without adequate lightning protection.

Overview

Introduction

The 8063 IP Door Controller provides a dry contact relay closure for the activation of electronic door strikes. It is typically used in conjunction with an Algo Intercom, including the 8201, 8203, 8036, and 8039, allowing the door wiring to be kept securely inside the building to prevent unauthorized tampering. In this case, the 8063 does not require a SIP registration, and communicates only with the Algo Intercom via a secure communication path over the LAN.

In applications where voice communication is not required, the 8063 can also be used in standalone mode, and activated directly via a SIP call.

The 8063 also has two relay inputs, and one relay output, allowing it to interface with external sensors and switches, including magnetic door sensors for tracking the state of the door to prevent tailgating, or trigger an alarm if the door is held open.

What is Included

• 8063 IP Door Controller

• Network Cable

• Wall Mount Bracket

What is not Included

• This User Guide

• Door Strike

• Door Strike Power Supply

• Intercom (compatible with Algo 8201, 8203, 8036 & 8039)

Setup and Installation

Getting Started - Quick Install & Test

Note

This guide provides important safety information which should be read thoroughly before permanently installing the adapter.

1. Connect the wiring from your door strike (not included), to the Door Control relay output terminal block on the 8063 (either “Normally Open” [‘NO’] and “Common” [‘C’], or “Normally Closed” [‘NC’] and “Common” [‘C’], as appropriate for the door strike). See the Door Strike Wiring Guide for further information.

2. Connect the 8063 IP Door Controller to a PoE or PoE+ network switch. The blue lights on the front will remain on until boot up is completed – about one minute.

3. After the blue lights turn off, the IP address may be discovered by downloading the Algo locator tool to find Algo devices on your network: www.algosolutions.com/locator

4. Access the 8063 IP Door Controller web page by entering the IP address into a browser (Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, etc) and login using the default password algo.

5. Use the test buttons in the web interface (Basic Settings → Door Control & I/O) to confirm the operation of the door strike. Press the Unlock button to test that the door unlocks, and then press Lock again to confirm that it locks.

After confirming that the hardware installation with the door strike is successful, the 8063 can now be configured for use with either an Algo Intercom (typical application), or in Stand-Alone Mode (without an Algo Intercom and thus no voice path). Please choose the appropriate section below based on your application.

For Use with an Algo Intercom (Typical Application):

1. Open the web interface for the Algo Intercom (8201, 8203, 8036 or 8039) that is to communicate with the 8063, using the IP address for this device.

2. In the web interface for the Intercom, select the Network Door Controller options and enter the IP address of the 8063 here (and password), so that the Intercom can contact the 8063 in order to unlock the door. These settings are in Basic Settings → Door Control in the Intercom web interface – see the documentation of your specific Algo Intercom model (8201, 8203, 8036 or 8039) for further details.

3. Make a call to the Algo Intercom, and press ‘6’ (or appropriate DTMF code as configured on the Intercom) to unlock the door using the 8063 IP Door Controller.

For Stand-Alone Mode:

1. In the 8063 web inteface, enter the IP address or the name for the SIP server into the SIP Domain field under the Basic Settings → Stand-Alone Mode tab.

2. Enter the credentials (SIP Extension, Authentication ID, and Password) for the SIP extension.

   Note

   The Authentication ID may also be called Username for some SIP servers, and in some cases may be the same as the SIP extension.

3. Make a call to the controller by dialling the SIP extension of the adapter from a telephone.

Installation

The 8063 is wall mountable in a horizontal orientation using the supplied bracket.

Example installation on ½” drywall:

1. Use appropriate drywall anchors for #8 screws, and pre-drill per anchor manufacturer’s instructions. Insert 4 anchors into the wall, and then attach bracket to wall anchors using #8 screws. Snap the 8063 into the bracket.

2. Connect the 8063 to a PoE network switch.

Programming and Configuration

The 8063 IP Door Controller is configurable using the web interface or provisioning features.

After boot up the blue lights on the front will turn off (except for the power light) and the adapter will have obtained an IP address. If there is no DHCP server the 8063 IP Door Controller will default to the static IP address 192.168.1.111.

The IP address may be discovered by downloading the Algo locator tool to find Algo devices on your network: www.algosolutions.com/locator

Enter the IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.111) into a browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge. The web interface should be visible and the default password will be algo in lower case letters.

Wiring Connections

8063: Front View

8063: Back View

Network Connection (Front)

The 8063 provides a RJ45 jack for network connection. A cable run from the switch can be terminated to a modular jack with connection by patch cord, or terminated with a RJ45 plug.

PoE can be used for most applications, whether provided by the network switch or injector. If using the 24V output to drive a high power door strike directly (as opposed to just using the relay in conjunction with the door strike’s existing power supply), then PoE+ may be used to allow more power. See the Specifications section for details on the current limits in each case.

There are two lights on the Ethernet jack:

Green light: On when Ethernet is working, flickers off to indicate activity on the port.

Amber light: Off when successful 100Mbps link is established. Typically on only briefly at power up.

Under normal conditions, the Amber light will turn on immediately after the Ethernet cable is first connected. This indicates that PoE power has been successfully applied. Once the device connects to the network, it will switch to the Green light instead, which will typically flicker indicating traffic on the network.

Reset

A recessed reset button (RST) next to the Ethernet Jack can only be used to reset the 8063 at time of power up. To return all settings to a factory default, wait until the SIP LED flashes and then press and hold the reset button until the POWER LED begins a double flash pattern. Release the reset button and allow the unit to complete its boot process.

Do not press the reset button until the POWER LED begins flashing.

A reset will set all configuration options to factory default including the password.

TLS for SIP Signalling and Provisioning

Algo devices that support firmware 1.6.4 or later support Transport Layer Security (TLS). This feature adds security by ensuring that Algo products can trust the hosted SIP server. This is useful for when third-party devices or attackers may try to intercept, replicate, or alter Algo products, and try to connect to the server. TLS protocol will ensure that third parties cannot read/modify any actual data. Previously security was less of a concern because phone systems were on isolated networks, but hosted services are becoming increasingly more common. Using a hosted SIP service requires traffic to be sent over the public internet and thus much more susceptible to attacks.

Signed certificates are an important piece in the Algo device’s operation, to ensure the security, integrity, and privacy of its communication. Algo components that use TLS are Provisioning and SIP Signaling.

These Algo devices each come pre-loaded with certificates from a list of trusted certificate authorities (CA), which are installed in the hardware at the time of manufacture. Note these pre-installed trusted certificates are not visible to users and are separate from the ‘certs’ folder.

The TLS handshake happens to make sure that the client and server can trust each other, and once that trust is established, the two parties can freely send encrypted data and decrypt any data that they receive. After the TLS handshake process is complete, a TLS session is established, and the server and client can then exchange messages that are symmetrically encrypted with shared (pre-master) secret key.

For further details reference the Algo TLS guide for SIP Signalling and HTTPS Provisionings.

Uploading Public CA Certificates to Algo SIP Endpoints

To install the public CA certificate on the Algo 8063:

1. Obtain a public certificate from you Certificate Authority.

2. Rename the public certificate ‘siptrusted’ with any of supported formats (.pem, .cert, or .cer).

3. In the web interface of the 8063, navigate to the System → File Manager tab.

4. Upload the certificate files into the ‘certs’ directory. Click the Upload button in the top left corner of the file manager and browser to the certificate.

HTTPS Provisioning

Provisioning can be secured by setting the ‘Download Method’ to ‘HTTPS’ (under the Advanced Settings → Provisioning tab). This prevents configuration files from being read by an unwanted third-party. This resolves the potential risk of having sensitive data stolen, such as admin passwords and SIP credentials.

Note

To verify the server you must ‘Enable’ the ‘Validate Server Certificate’ option. This then checks if the certificate that is provided by the server is signed by any of the CAs included in the list of trusted CAs (used by the Debian infrastructure and Mozilla browsers). If we receive a certificate signed by any of these CAs, then that server will be trusted. Certificates can also be manually uploaded using the ‘File Manager’.

The ‘Validate Server Certificate’ parameter can also be enabled through provisioning: prov.download.cert = 1

SIP Signalling (and RTP Audio)

SIP signaling is secured by setting ‘SIP Transportation’ to ‘TLS’ (under the Advanced Settings → Advanced SIP tab). Setting it to ‘TLS’ ensures that the SIP traffic will be encrypted. The SIP signalling is responsible for establishing the call (the control signal to start and end the call with the other party), but it does not contain the audio.

Note

In order for a SIP server to validate the Algo device, an additional certificate may be installed on the Algo device manually. To add the user certificate file use a ‘.pem’, ‘.crt’, or ‘.cer’ filetype extension and have the file named ‘sipclient’. This is done by manually adding a file named ‘sipclient’, which contains a device certificate and private key, to the ‘certs’ folder (under the System → File Manager tab).

Web Interface Status and Login

Web Interface login

The web interface requires a password which is ‘algo’ by default. This password can be changed using the Admin tab after logging in the first time.

Note

Web Interface is accessed by entering the 8063’s IP Address into a web browser.

It is highly recommended to change the default password if the device is directly connected to a public network.

Status

The device's Status page will be available before and after logon. The section can be used to check the device's SIP Registration status of the SIP Extension, Call Status, Proxy Status, and general MAC, IP, Netmask, Date/Time information.

Note

The Status page can be hidden when logged out for security purposes under the Advanced Settings → Admin tab.

IPv4/IPv6 Address

Enter the gateway address.

VLAN Mode

Enables or Disables VLAN Tagging. VLAN Tagging is the networking standard that supports Virtual LANs (VLANs) on an Ethernet network. The standard defines a system of VLAN tagging for Ethernet frames and the accompanying procedures to be used by bridges and switches in handling such frames. The standard also provides provisions for a quality of service prioritization scheme commonly known as IEEE 802.1p and defines the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol.

VLAN ID

Specifies the VLAN to which the Ethernet frame belongs. A 12-bit field specifying the VLAN to which the Ethernet frame belongs. The hexadecimal values of 0x000 and 0xFFF are reserved. All other values may be used as VLAN identifiers, allowing up to 4094 VLANs.

The reserved value 0x000 indicates that the frame does not belong to any VLAN; in this case, the 802.1Q tag specifies only a priority and is referred to as a priority tag. On bridges, VLAN 1 (the default VLAN ID) is often reserved for a management VLAN; this is vendor specific.

VLAN Priority

Sets the frame priority level. Otherwise known as Priority Code Point (PCP), VLAN Priority is a 3-bit field which refers to the IEEE 802.1p priority. It indicates the frame priority level. Values are from 0 (lowest) to 7 (highest).

Authentication

Credentials to access LAN or WLAN that have 802.1X network access control (NAC) enabled. This information will be available from the IT Administrator.

Differentiated Services (6-bit DSCP value)

Provides quality of service if the DSCP protocol is supported on your network. Can be specified independently for SIP control packets versus RTP audio packets.

DNS Caching Mode

In “SIP” mode, only the results of DNS queries for SIP requests will be cached. In “All” mode, the results of all DNS queries will be cached.

Advanced Settings Tab – Time

Network time is used for logging events into memory for troubleshooting.

Time Zone

Select time zone.

NTP Time Servers 1/2/3/4

The adapter will attempt to use Timer Server 1 and work down the list if one or more of the time servers become unresponsive.

NTP Time Server Source

When “Use DHCP Option 42” is chosen, if an NTP Server address is provided via the DHCP Option 42, that NTP Server will be used instead of the 4 mentioned above.

Alternatively, “Ignore DHCP Option 42” can be chosen to only use servers mentioned above.

Device Date/Time

This field shows the current time and date as set on the device. If testing the device on a lab network that may not have access to an external NTP server, the “Sync with browser” button can be used to temporarily set the time on the device.

Note

This time value will be lost at power down, or overwritten if NTP is currently active. Time and date are used for logging purposes.

Advanced Settings Tab – Provisioning

Note

It is recommended that Provisioning Mode be set to Disabled if this feature is not in use. This will prevent unauthorized re-configuration of the device if DHCP is used.

Provisioning allows installers to pre-configure 8063 IP Door Controller units prior to installation on a network. It is typically used for large deployments to save time and ensure consistent setups.

The device can be provisioned via the Auto mode (where all three DHCP options (Option 66/160/150) will be automatically checked for an active provisioning server), just one of the three specified DHCP options, or a Static Server. In addition, there are four different ways to download provisioning files from a “Provisioning Server”: TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol), FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS.

For example, the 8063 configuration files can be automatically downloaded from a TFTP server using DHCP Option 66. This option code (when set) supplies a TFTP boot server address to the DHCP client to boot from.

Note

DHCP must be enabled if using DHCP Option 66/160/150, in order for Provisioning to work.

One of two files can be uploaded on the Provisioning Server (for access via TFTP, FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS):

• Generic (for all 8063 IP Door Controller) algop8063.conf

• Specific (for a specific MAC address) algom[MAC].conf

Both protocol and path is supported for Option 66, allowing for http://myserver.com/config-path to be used.

MD5 Checksum

In addition to the .conf file, an .md5 checksum file must also be uploaded to the Provisioning server. This checksum file is used to verify that the .conf file is transferred correctly without error.

A tool such as can be found at the website address below may be used to generate this file: http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5

The application doesn’t need an installation. To use the tool, simply unzip and run the application (md5) from a command prompt. The proper .md5 file will be generated in the same directory.

If using the above tool, be sure to use the “-l” parameter to generate lower case letters.

To generate a generic configuration file

1. Connect the 8063 to the network.

2. Access the 8063 Web Interface Control Panel.

3. Configure the 8063 with desired options.

4. Click on the System tab and then Maintenance.

5. Click “Download” to download the current configuration file.

6. Save the file settings.txt.

7. Rename file settings.txt to algop8063.conf.

8. File algop8063.conf can now be uploaded onto the Provisioning server.

If using a generic configuration file, extensions and credentials have to be entered manually once the 8063 IP Door Controller has automatically downloaded the configuration file.

To generate a specific configuration file

1. Follow steps 1 to 6 as listed in the section “Generating a generic configuration file”.

2. Rename file settings.txt to algom[MAC address].conf (e.g. algom0022EE020009.conf)

3. File algom[MAC address].conf can now be uploaded on the Provisioning server.

The specific configuration file will only be downloaded by the 8063 IP Door Controller with the MAC address specified in the configuration file name. Since all the necessary settings can be included in this file, the 8063 will be ready to work immediately after the configuration file is downloaded. The MAC address of each 8063 IP Door Controller can be found on the back label of the unit.

Advanced Settings Tab – Advanced Audio

Always Send RTP Media

If enabled, audio packets will be sent at all times. This option is needed in cases when the server expects to see audio packets at all times.

Advanced Settings Tab – Advanced SIP

SIP Transportation

Selects the transport layer protocol to use for SIP messages. Setting ‘SIP Transportation’ to ‘TLS’, ensures the encryption of SIP traffic.

SIPS Scheme

Only visible when ‘SIP Transportation’ set to ‘TLS’. Enabling SIPS Scheme requires the SIP connection from endpoint to endpoint to be secure.

SDP SRTP Offer

Setting ‘SDP SRTP Offer’ to ‘Optional’, means the SIP call’s RTP data will be left unencrypted if the other party does not support SRTP. Setting ‘SDP SRTP Offer’ to ‘Standard’, encrypts RTP voice data, meaning the normal audio RTP packets will now be secure (SRTP). This means SIP calls will be rejected if other party does not support SRTP. The ‘Standard’ option secures the audio data between parties, by making sure that it’s not left out in the open for third parties to later reconstruct and listen to.

SIP Outbound Support (RFC 5626)

Enable this option to support best networking practices according to RFC 5626. This option should generally be enabled if the Algo device is being registered with a hosted server or if TLS is being used for SIP Transportation.

Outbound Proxy

IP address for outbound proxy. A proxy (server) stands between a private network and the internet.

Register Period (seconds)

Maximum requested period of time where the 8063 IP Door Controller will re-register with the SIP server. Default setting is 3600 seconds (1 hour). Only change if instructed otherwise.

Media NAT

IP address for STUN server if present or IP address/credentials for a TURN server.

Server Redundancy Feature

Two secondary SIP servers may be configured. The 8063 IP Door Controller will attempt to register with the primary server but switch to a secondary server when necessary.

The configuration allows re-registration to the primary server upon availability or to stay with a server until unresponsive.

If Server Redundancy is selected the web page will expand as shown below.

Backup Server #1

If the primary server is unreachable the 8063 IP Door Controller will attempt to register with the backup servers. If enabled, the 8063 will always attempt to register with the highest priority server.

Backup Server #2

If backup server #1 is unreachable the 8063 IP Door Controller will attempt to register with the 2nd backup server. If enabled, the 8063 will always attempt to register with the highest priority server.

Polling Intervals (seconds)

Time period between sending monitoring packets to each server. Non-active servers are always polled, and active server may optionally be polled (see below).

Poll Active Server

Explicitly poll current server to monitor availability. May also be handled automatically by other regular events, so can be disabled to reduce network traffic.

Automatic Failback

Reconnect with higher priority server once available, even if backup connection is still fine.

Polling Method

SIP message used to poll servers to monitor availability.

Use Outgoing TLS port in SIP headers

Use ephemeral port number from outgoing SIP TLS connection instead of listening port number in SIP Contact and Via headers. This is useful to connect the device to some local SIP servers, like Asterisk or FreeSWITCH.

Do Not Reuse Authorization Headers

When enabled, all SIP authorization information from the last successful request will not be reused in the next request.
