Overview / Description
Package Contents
The RY-IP44 is a Barix “Barionet 50” with proprietary Aiphone rmware for use with IPW-1A, IS, or IX Series Stations.
The 4 individually programmable contact outputs can be used to trigger remote door release or external signaling,
triggering a contact closure while calling, communicating, or both calling and communicating.
The 4 individually programmable contact inputs can be used to trigger a call between two IX Series stations. For example,
use this function to trigger during an invalid card swipe, motion detector activation, or selective calling from multiple call
buttons.
The RY-IP44 is also used as the Mobile App Server for IX Mobile. An RY-IP44 is needed for every 8 instances of IX Mobile
and is used to alert the mobile device if it goes out of wireless network range.
When using the RY-IP44 only as a Mobile App Server for IX Mobile, begin on page 6 as SIF and CGI are not used in
this instance. Refer to pages 8-14 for steps on creating a system with IX Mobile and conguring IX Mobile.
Note that the RY-IP44 is not a PoE device, and requires a separate 9-30v DC power supply. It is recommended to use the
Aiphone PS-1208UL.
• General understanding of IX Series programming
• 9-30V DC power supply (sold separately)
• Unique IP address for each adaptor
Installation Requirements
Updating Firmware on RY-IP44
2 | RY-IP44 with IX Programming Manual
Ensure that the RY-IP44 has the current rmware loaded. The current version is 2.2 can be downloaded from the
Aiphone website (www.aiphone.com/home)
Using a web browser, access the RY-IP44 using its default IP address of 192.168.1.45. The landing page will be the
Device Status screen.
Click CONFIGURATION
Step 1
Click UPDATE
Step 2
Note the loaded Aiphone Firmware. If it is V2.2, it is up to
date. If not, click Please click here to continue.
Step 3
Click Choose File and
navigate to and select
the current rmware.
Step 4
Once selected, click
Upload.
Step 5
Afer the station has successfully loaded the new rmware,
click Update, then reboot the adaptor.
Step 6

Expand Function Settings and
select SIF from menu on left.
Step 1 Use the Number drop-down under Select
Station to Edit and choose the door station.
Click Select and ensure that the door station
is shown in upper left of the screen.
Step 2
Enabling CGI & SIF on IX Series 2 Stations
Select the Enable radio buttons
for CGI and SIF Functionality
Step 3
Under SIF Settings, enter a Program Type, the IP Address, and Destination Port
for the RY-IP44 relay. Use a separate line for each RY-IP44 being used.

Choose the Transmission Trigger Events that this
station will need to send to the RY-IP44. The Begin
Outgoing Call, Begin Communication (Source),
End Communication, and Change contact events
are the most common and will cover most aspects of
RY-IP44 integration.
Step 5
Click Update to save changes.
Step 6
Repeat Steps 2-6 for each IX 2 station
interacting with the RY-IP44 relay.
3 | RY-IP44 with IX Programming Manual
The steps above are specific to IX Series 2 stations. IX Series 1 stations will be configured differently. Please follow the steps on
pages 4 and 5 for any IX Series 1 stations (IX-DA, IX-BA, IX-MV).
If the system does not contain any IX Series 1 stations, go to the bottom of page 5 to upload settings to stations.
IX Series stations use SIF events to interact with and trigger the contact outputs of the RY-IP44, and CGI is used when the
RY-IP44 interacts with a station using the contact inputs. Enabling both SIF and CGI for each station and then configuring their
settings are required. Once these parameters are set, the event triggers are configured. Each of these steps are shown below
using the IX Support Tool software.
Important:
The intercom system should be fully programmed and operational prior to programming for the RY-IP44 adaptor integration.
Open IX Support Tool and select a system program file by clicking File > Selecting Existing System.
Change IX Support Tool to .

Creating the SIF.ini File (For IX Series 1 Only)
Creating a simple line of code, in the form of a .ini file, is required to allow an IX Series 1 (IX-DA, IX-BA, IX-MV) device to
communicate to the RY-IP44. The example below is shown using a common text editor (i.e. Notepad), and saving it with an .ini
extension.
Program Type: A binary number between 0100 and 1111.
RY-IP44 IP Address:
IP address assigned to the RY-IP44 (Must be unique for each RY-IP44).
Destination Port:
Port number assigned on the RY-IP44. The default port is 10000. This can be
set in the range from 1 to 65535 (Must be unique for each RY-IP44).
SSL Y/N :
This device does not use SSL. Input 0 for no.
Example Text File: 0100,192.168.1.45,10000,0
Save the SIF le with a .ini extension (.ini must be typed manually) to a location on the PC being used for programming the IX
Series 1 stations. This le must be uploaded to each device associated with the RY-IP44 using the instructions that follow.

IX Series: Relay Output Programming
7 | RY-IP44 with IX Programming Manual
When the relay action is set for Door Release, the station number to be entered will always be that of the door station. The
door station is the device that will be sending the SIF command/event to the RY-IP44 adaptor that its relay status has changed.
• Enter the Station number of the station sending the SIF event to the RY-IP44 to be associated with this output.
• Select the relay condition from the Relay Action drop down menu.
• Click on Apply Settings, then click Reboot to restart the adaptor with the saved changes.
When the entered station is active, the associated relay will trigger based on the Relay Action settings.

IX Series: Input Programming
Note: The RY-IP44 inputs can have dierent calling rules than the default calling rule set for a station during the IX Series programming.
• Select the call-in priority level for each input using the Priority drop down menu.
• Enter the target IP address of the station to place the call.
• Click Apply Settings to save the changes. Do not reboot the adaptor at this time.
• Click APPLICATION SETUP to return to the Application Conguration Screen.
• Click on Destinations next to the input being congured. In the new window, enter the station number of the master
station(s) to be called when the input is triggered.
• When the target IP address is a door station, a maximum of 20 master stations can be entered.
• When the target IP address is a master station, a maximum of 20 master stations or 1 group can be entered. A group
can consist of up to 50 master stations and must be created using the IX Support Tool.
• Check the Enable box beside each station entered.
Click on Apply Settings, then click Reboot to restart the adaptor with the changes.
Station Placing Call
Conguring the IX Mobile Server
Set the RY-IP44 for use with the IX Series (refer to page 4).
Enter the Static IP address for each of the mobile devices in the IX Mobile Server Functionality table.
If DHCP is required, static reservations will be required for each mobile device.
Click on Apply Settings, then click Reboot to restart the adaptor with the changes.
Refer to pages 7-11 for steps on adding a mobile device to the IX system using the IX
Support Tool and for setting up the mobile device.
IX Mobile
IX Mobile is an app for iOS (v8.0 – v12.1) and Android (v4.1+) turning a mobile device into an IX Series sub master
station, allowing for 2-way audio communication, video, and door release. 4 programmable shortcut buttons can be
congured to initiate a call to specic stations, groups, or page.
The following steps assist in the conguration of an IX Series system with IX Mobile and the conguration of IX Mobile
on a mobile device.
Requirements: A system must contain at least one IX-MV or MV-7-* when using IX Mobile and one RY-IP44 for every 8
instances of IX Mobile. IX Mobile also requires a constant connection to the network the IX Series system is deployed
to, utilizing either a Wi-Fi connection or a VPN.
