This requires registration in frogblue’s cloud (with SIP server) and the installation of the frogSIP app on the smartphone. integrated RFID reader facilitates access control and time tracking.
Page 8: Key Advantages Of The Frogterminal
VPN into the system, an internet- based cloud-service with SIP server becomes essential. To make this easy, frogblue provides our own SIP cloud with automated conﬁguration options, hosted in a secure German data centre.
Page 9: The Frogdisplay
3.4. The frogStation frogStation is a frogblue device that serves as the primary remote station for the frogTerminal. Installed, for example, in an apartment, it provides a user interface for interacting with the frogTerminal at the entrance.
Page 10: Frogsip App And Calling A Smartphone
3.6. frogSIP App and Calling a Smartphone Smartphone calls require push notiﬁcations from the device manufacturer to wake the phone and launch the telephony app. To facilitate this, frogblue operates a dedicated telephony cloud including SIP server, ensuring reliable delivery of the required push notiﬁcations.
Page 11: Decentralised Access Control
4.2. Decentralised Access Control With frogblue, user data is stored directly on RFID cards or key tags. Terminals read the data during card scans, eliminating the need for network or cloud connections. For all terminals in a project to read the encrypted data, they must share the same encryption settings, which include: •...
Page 12: Special Access Functions
• Time Restrictions • Access times can be based on the individual card schedule or conﬁgured globally for all users at the terminal (Time Table Source: “Card” or "TERMINAL"). • Time restrictions can also be disabled entirely for speciﬁc terminals (Time Table Source: "NONE").
Page 13: Adding And Blocking Rfid Cards
Time tracking options: "Check-in," "Break," and "Check-out" menus for time tracking Note: As an example the ODOO ERP system includes a time tracking module, an integrated solution with frogblue and ODOO is currently in development. Hardware Integrations 5.1. Relays and Inputs The frogSIP terminal includes a potential-free relay output (24V/1A), which can directly control a door lock when connected to an external power supply (12V or 24V).
Page 14: Ip Link Integration
External USB devices (e.g., local data storage or additional control modules) 5.5. Bluetooth Mesh Integration The terminal includes a frogblue Bluetooth Mesh interface for integration into frogblue projects. Initially, it supports the simple integration of modules without using the ProjectApp. In later updates, it will fully integrate into frogblue projects.
