applications for their connection to the Avigilon Stentofon Gateway software.
Communicating with the AlphaCom XE Exchange
The AlphaCom firewall must be configured to allow the AlphaCom XE exchange to communicate
with the Avigilon Stentofon Gateway software.

3. Select the two check boxes beside OPC Server with port 61112.
See the section about communicating with the AlphaCom XE exchange in the STENTOFON
SDK API: Quick Start Guide for more information.
Adding an Integration User in Avigilon
To protect the security of the Avigilon Control Center Server, add a user to the Avigilon software
specifically for connecting to the integration. See the Avigilon Control Center Client User Guide
for details about how to add users.
This user must have the following permissions to enable all the integration features:
• View Live Images
The Avigilon Stentofon integration user name and password is required to add Avigilon Servers to
the Avigilon Stentofon Gateway configuration application.
OnCustomParameter Events in AlphaCom XE Exchange
The Avigilon Stentofon Gateway software maps AlphaCom XE exchange OnCustomParameter
events to alarms in the Avigilon Control Center Client.
To create OnCustomParameter events in the AlphaCom XE exchange, see the section about
OnCustomParameter events in the STENTOFON SDK API: Quick Start Guide.
Avigilon Alarm Configuration
Alarms are manually created in the Avigilon Control Center Client software. Create the Avigilon
alarms you want mapped to the OnCustomParameter events in the AlphaCom software, then
assign the required cameras and settings for the alarm.
