This article walks you through connecting your Zenitel intercom system with Genea’s SIP cloud service. Once integrated, your intercom will appear as Online in the Genea dashboard, and you’ll be able to make and receive calls from the device with video support if available.

Step1: Retrieve SIP Credentials from Genea

  1. Log into the Genea Web Portal.

  2. Go to Hardware → Intercoms.

  3. Select the relevant Zenitel device.

  4. Copy the following credentials:

    • SIP ID / Username - Used as the phone number and for authentication.

    • Password - Used as the intercom’s registration password.

    • Server Domain / Outbound Proxy - Always set to sip.sequr.io.

    • Outbound Transport - Set to TLS.

Keep these details handy for the next steps.

Step2: Confirm Network Access

Before proceeding:

  • Allow outbound TCP on port 5061 to sip.sequr.io for SIP registration.

  • Allow UDP RTP ports 10000–20000 for media transmission.

  • If using firewall inspection, allow or bypass sip.sequr.io for SIP-TLS traffic.

Step3: Configure Zenitel Web Interface

  1. Open a web browser and enter the IP address of your Zenitel Intercom device to access the Web User Interface (Web UI).

  1. Enable SIP Protocol

    • Go to Main → Main Settings

    • Set protocol to SIP

  2. Configure SIP Account

    • Navigate to SIP Configuration → Account Call

    • Enter credentials from Genea:

      • Number (SIP ID) and Authentication Username: Username (Genea Dashboard)

      • Authentication Password: Password (Genea Dashboard)

      • Server / Outbound Proxysip.sequr.io

    • In Call Settings, configure codec priority as per the reference screenshot in the onboarding doc.

  3. Set Up Direct Access Keys

    • Go to SIP Configuration → Direct Access Keys

    • Enter the Ring Group Number from the Genea dashboard.

    • Update Idle, Call, and Hold states accordingly.

  4. Configure Video Settings

    • Go to SIP Configuration → Video and replicate shown settings.

    • Then, visit Advanced Video and mirror those settings as well.

  5. Verify Firewall Rules in UI

    • Navigate to Advanced Network → Firewall

    • Ensure all necessary rules are in place to allow two-way communication between Zenitel and Genea Cloud.

Final Check: Device Online?

Once the device is configured correctly, it should show as Online in your Genea dashboard under Hardware → Intercoms.

You’re now ready to route intercom calls, enable Ring Groups, and manage your Zenitel device directly from Genea.

Troubleshooting

Device not appearing online?
Double check your SIP credentials in both Genea and Zenitel UI. Also, confirm your network allows outbound TCP on port 5061 to sip.sequr.io.

Calls not connecting?
Verify that codec priorities match the recommended settings and that your firewall is not blocking RTP media ports (10000–20000).

No video feed?
Ensure the intercom model supports video and that the video settings are correctly applied under both Video and Advanced Video tabs.
