An Area defines a location description to a common group of stations. Example: “High School,”

“Front Office,” or “Warehouse.”

A Site in an IS system is a LAN which contains a single Host and up to 31 Clients. While the

IS system can have up to 32 Sites, this guide only covers a single Site system.

A Host is the unit in an IS Site containing a configuration file used to control how each device in the

Site behaves. Any IS-IPDV, IS-IPDVF, IS-IPMV, or IS-IPC (not covered in this guide) can be a Host.

A Client is a unit in an IS Site that does not contain a complete configuration file, and relies on the Host for operational instructions. Any IS-IPDV, IS-IPDVF, IS-IPMV, IS-SOFT, or IS-IPC can be a Client.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows all DHCP configured devices to ask for an IP address when it powers on. In the context of an IS system, Clients may be DHCP, but a Host should always be

Static. DHCP with a reservation configured by the DHCP server is possible, but not recommended.

A LAN (Local Area Network) is typically managed by a DHCP enabled router. Anything connected to the

WAN port of the router is considered outside the Local Area Network. While there are numerous ways of connecting multiple LANs together, the only supported network layout for this guide is a LAN or a VPN.

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a method of allowing two isolated LANs to communicate with each other through a public network without losing privacy. For the purposes of the IS system, it can be considered a single LAN.

IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is the protocol used by Multicasting systems, including the IS system. This protocol must be supported by and enabled on the networking hardware.

Multicasting is a method of communicating a single stream of information, such as video or paging announcements, from a single host to many hosts. This saves bandwidth compared with sending the same packets to each recipient one at a time. The IS system uses Multicast for video during the call-in, but not when a master monitors the door (since it is the single recipient when the MONITOR button is used).

General Precautions

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE

This guide is intended to be used for a single site IS-IP system running on a IPV4 network that includes IS-IP door stations, IS-IPMV master stations, and IS-SOFT PC master stations.

Note: Refer to the IS-IP Standard Setting Manual when using a IPV6 network, the IS-IPC, or when multiple

sites are required.

IMPORTANT:

When changes are made while programming, click Temporarily stored to save data prior to leaving each screen.

The saved data will be applied to the system when the system is updated.

Step 1:

System Layout

Choose an IS-IPDV, IS-IPDVF, or IS-IPMV to be the Host. All other devices will be set as Clients. The final network needs to be a LAN or a VPN that supports Multicast. To program, use a network switch and CAT-5e cable to connect the PC to each device one at a time. When using a PoE switch, an 802.3af compliant PoE Class 0 switch is required.

Step 2:

Configure PC’s IP Address

The default IP address for each IS-IP device is https://192.168.0.40. The PC will need to be set in the same subnet in order to connect to the IS-IP devices.

Control Panel

- Windows XP ® (classic view) Network Connections Double click Local Area Connection to open

Connection Status window.

- Windows 7 ® (Category View) Network and Internet View network status and tasks Click

Local Area Connection to open the Local Area Connection Status window.

B. Click the Properties button to open Local Area Connection Properties window.

C. Scroll down and click Internal Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) then click the Properties button to open Internet

Protocol Properties window.

D. Select the  Use the following IP address radio button. Type in the IP address 192.168.0.100 (the last number can be any valid host address except 40) and change the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. Click [OK].

E. Click [OK] in the Connection Properties window to accept these changes.

Step 3:

Install and Configure IS-SOFT Application (OPTIONAL)

Note: IS-SOFT is not required to program the system. If using IS-SOFT, the application requires a PC with speakers and a microphone , or a headset in order to communicate with the stations in the system.

A USB style microphone / headset is recommended.

How-To

Video Link

Click the Setting button and click the Network tab.

Enter the Host’s IP address, the Connection password “aiphone” and choose the Network Interface Card from the drop down list. Enter the license key provided in the CD case (limit one per PC).

Click Save .

IMPORTANT:

The software will attempt to make contact with the Host, but will give an error message because the Host isn’t set up yet. Ignore this error and proceed to Step 4: Log in to IS-IP Device.

Step 4:

Log in to IS-IP Device (IS-IPMV, IS-IPDV, IS-IPDVF)

IMPORTANT:

If connecting the IS-IP devices to a DHCP network, use the IS_IPSEARCH program found on the CD to identify the IP addresses of the stations. When not tied to a DHCP network, the units will have the default address of

192.168.0.40. By default, all units have the same address, making it important to hook up and program each station one at a time.

A. Open a web browser and point the address bar to https://192.168.0.40. If using DHCP, enter the unit’s IP address discovered with the IS_IPSEARCH program and hit [Enter].

Note: ensure that https (for security) is being used in the address bar.

B. A security certificate error message will appear. Click “Continue to this website.”

C. Choose preferred language (see Figure 4.1).

D. Log in to the unit using the default administrator ID “aiphone,” and default password “aiphone” (see Figure 4.2).

Depending on the amount of data and changes, the reboot could take as long as 5-10 minutes.

Step 12:

Register Products (Recommended)

We recommend that the IS-IP hardware and IS-SOFT be registered. This will enable Aiphone to send alerts to the end user of firmware and software updates. Registering the software will also enable Aiphone to easily retrieve the

License Key for the IS-SOFT should it ever be misplaced. Please use the following website to register all products in the installation. Register the products using the end user’s contact information.

Troubleshooting

Problem

Can’t access IS IP device

IS_IPSearch not working

No video from door station when calling

IS-SOFT: Setting file cannot be acquired

IS-SOFT: Invalid

License Key

Door station LED indication

Possible Cause Solution

Secure address prefix

IP range not the same

Make sure you are typing “https://” and then the unit’s IP address in the address bar of your browser.

Make sure your PC and the devices are in the same IP range

(step 2 in this guide).

Multicast not enabled

IP range not the same

IS_IPSearch utilizes multicast to search for and retrieve the IS-IP device’s IP and MAC address. Enable multicast address 239.197.40.41 on your network.

The IS_IPSearch program will search within the PC’s domain, then filters results via MAC

Address. If IS_IPSearch does not find the IS-IP devices, ensure that the PC is set to the same IP range as the IS-IP devices

(default range is 192.168.0.xxx).

Multi-cast address issue

In the event the IS-IPDV/F is able to call in and establish an audio connection to the

IS-IPMV or IS-SOFT master stations, but fails to establish video, this is a sign that the video multicast address is not being broadcast*. The specific multicast address used for video broadcast from the door to master is 239.0.1.4 (Network Settings: Common). This address must be managed on the switches and routers for the system to work correctly.

* Note: When a master calls a door station, video most likely will be present. This is because master to door calls

utilize unicast.

Invalid Host IP address Ensure that the Host IP address is set correctly in the IS-SOFT network tab (see Step 3).

IS-SOFT not registered to Host Device

Connection password invalid

Ensure that the PC with IS-SOFT is registered as a client in the host device (see Step 7).

Retype the connection password in the network tab of IS-SOFT (default is aiphone).

The License key for IS-SOFT is case sensitive. Make sure it is entered as shown on the license key document.
