The local contact information is used to initiate SIP or IP calls to users. You can group the contact information to facilitate group calls to target users. Moreover, the contact list functions as a whitelist, allowing only listed numbers to open doors via DTMF during calls.
When the device is deployed on the SmartPlus Cloud, cloud contacts will display on the device web but not editable.
Manage Contact Groups
You can create and edit a contact group for the contacts. The contact group will be used when you are adding a user.
To set it up, go to the web Directory > User > Group interface. Click +Add. You can also add groups on the Setting > User > Group screen. You can add 5,000 groups or more.
Set up Contact Details
You can add users’ contact information when adding or editing a user on the Directory > User interface. The users added will be displayed on the device’s Directory screen.
Click +Add to add a user or click
to modify a user. Scroll to the Contact Details section.
Phone: The IP or SIP number.
Group: Assign the contact to the Default, Hidden Contact, or a self-created group.
Priority of Call: When assigning the contact to a self-created group, set the priority of the call among three options: Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary. For example, if you set the priority of a call for one of the contacts in a specific contact group as Primary, then the contact will be the first to be called among all the contacts in the same contact group when someone presses on the contact group to make a group call.
Dial Account: Select the account to make a call to the contact.

You can customize the contact list display to cater to users' operational and visual preferences.

Cloud Call Permission Control: This option will display when the device is connected to the SmartPlus Cloud. It decides whether to link the SmartPlus user’s permissions to open doors and make calls.
For example, when users are not authorized to open doors during a specific time and the Cloud Call Permission Control feature is enabled, their SmartPlus App and/or indoor monitors will not receive calls from the door phone.
If this feature is disabled, even if users cannot open doors, they can receive calls.
