W-PA SIP Paging Gateway Manual - English

W-PA SIP Paging Gateway Introduction

W-PA SIP Paging Gateway is a Public Announcer used to broadcast emergency messages and communication in large environments. The device has 10 watt audio output and it still allows you to connect external loudspeakers, and an external microphone. It can also act as a relay for activating door release switches or door locks via 1 embedded short-in detect port and 1 short-out control port (See Appendix 1 for more information).

Before using W-PA SIP Paging Gateway

Please read the following safety notices before installing or using this W-PA. They are crucial for the safe and reliable operation of the device:

• Before using the device, make sure that the environment temperature and humidity requirements are within these ranges: 
  • Operating temperature: -30 ~ 70 ℃ 
  • Storage temperature: -40 ~ 70 ℃ 
  • Relative humidity: 10% - 95%

• Do not put any foreign objects into the ports of the device. It may cause electric shock or injury accident. If any foreign object gets inside the device, please stop using it
  
• Do not let non-technical staff to remove or repair the device. Consider that improper repair may lead to injury accident or cause damage of the device

Instalation of W-PA SIP Paging Gateway

Connecting W-PA 

• Use five or super five network cable to connect your W-PA to the network
• Connect the cable to WAN (PoE) port
  

Provisioning of W-PA 

Wildix supports different provisioning modes:

• WMP provisioning: (the simplest mode) can be applied also for Cloud PBX and for connecting remote devices (assign devices to the PBX from the Portal)
• Auto-provisining: for local devices (cannot be used for Cloud PBX and for remote devices behind NAT / Firewall)
• Remote provisioning: this mode can be used for Cloud PBXs and for connecting remote devices behind NAT / Firewall

Read the guide: https://manuals.wildix.com/provisioning-of-wildix-devices/ 

Below remote provisining mode is described, as it is the most difficult mode.

Remote provisioning

1. Go to WMS -> Devices
2. Click Add
3. Enter MAC address of the device (you can find it on the device label)
4. Click Next. You will be forwarded to the provisioning window with the device information (MAC, Type and Provisioning URL)
5. Click Finish
   
6. Access W-PA web interface for configuration settings:
   
   • Press Volume - button for 3 seconds to obtain its IP address
   • IP address will be playbacked through the speaker
     
   • First time access credentials: admin : admin
     
7. After you log in W-PA web interface, go to System -> Auto Provision -> Static Provisioning Server and fill in the following information:
   • Server Address: enter your PBX host address or public IP
   • Configuration File Name: ?action=setaps
   • Protocol Type: HTTPS
   • Click Apply
     
     
     
8. Go to System -> Tools -> Reboot phone
9. Click Reboot button
10. Confirm the reboot by clicking OK
11. You will hear two audio signals: the first one is played at the beginning of the reboot, the second one is played after it is completed

Assign to user

To assign a user to your W-PA SIP Paging Gateway:

1. Go to WMS -> Devices 
2. Choose your W-PA from the list of available devices and click Assign to user

3. Enter the extension number of a user you want to assign the device to

   Note: you can assign W-PA to an existing user or create a new one in WMS -> Users

Public announcer function

Once your W-PA SIP Paging Gateway is installed and configured, you can use it as a Public Announcer for broadcasting purposes.

To broadcast a message via W-PA:
