4 Web Configuration
This chapter introduces how to initialize, connect, and configure parameters for the door
stations to realize functions like device management, calling, and monitoring. For more details,
see the user manual.
Configuration Process4.1
Plan IP address and number for each door station and indoor monitor.Step 1 Make sure that there is no short circuit or open circuit in the circuits.Step 2 Configure door station (VTO).Step 3 Beside initializing web interface and modifying IP address, configurations will be
different depending on SIP server types.
1) When the door station you are operating works as the SIP server, refer to "4.4.1
Door Station (VTO) as SIP Server."
2) When the management platform works as the SIP server, refer to "4.4.2 Platform
(DSS Express/DSS Pro) as SIP Server."
Configure indoor monitors (VTH). See the indoor monitors (VTH) users' manual or theStep 4 door station user’s manual.
Initializing Web Interface4.2
For the first time login, you need to create a password for logging in to the web interface.
The default IP address of door station is 192.168.1.108. Make sure that the PC IP address is in
the same network segment as that of the door station.
Connect the door station to power source, and then start it.Step 1 Open the browser on the PC, enter the default IP address of the VTO in the addressStep 2 bar, and then press Enter.

Device initializationFigure 4-1
Enter and confirm the password, and then click Next.Step 3 The email setting interface is displayed.
The password should consist of 8 to 32 non-blank characters and contain at least two
types of characters among upper case, lower case, number, and special character
(excluding ' " ; : &).
Select the Email check box, and then enter your email address.Step 4
This email address is used to reset the password.
Click Next.Step 5 The initialization succeeded.
Click OK.Step 6 Login interfaceFigure 4-2
Enter username and password, and then click Login to log in to the web interface.Step 7
The username is admin by default; the password is the one that you set in Figure 4-1.

8
Modifying IP Address4.3
To realize communication among video door phones, you need to modify IP address of the door
station. You can modify IP address on the door station or through the web interface. Modifying
IP address through the web interface will be demonstrated here. For IP address modification on
the door station, see "5.2 Setting IPAddress."
Select Network Setting > Basic.Step 1 TCP/IP informationFigure 4-3
Enter the network parameters that you planned, and then click Save.Step 2
Make sure that your PC IP address and the door station are in the same network
segment.
The VTO will restart.
Preferred DNS and alternate DNS are both 8.8.8.8 by default.
If PC IP address is in the planned IP segment, the interface will go to the login interface
automatically.
If PC IP address is not in the planned IP segment, the interface will not go to the login
interface. You need to make the PC IP address in the planned IP segment.
Selecting SIP Servers4.4
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is used for signaling and controlling multimedia
communication sessions in applications of voice and video calls. A SIP server is an application
that provides information or direction to a user agent.
When door stations (VTO) work as SIP server, select VTO from the Server Type
drop-down list. It applies to a scenario where there is only one building.
When the platform (Express/DSS) works as SIP server, select Express/DSS from the
Server Type drop-down list. It applies to a scenario where there are multiple buildings or
multiple units.
Log in to the web page.Step 1 On the homepage, select Network Setting > SIP Server.Step 2

4.4.1.1 Setting Door Station (VTO) No. (1)
Each door station (VTO) has a unique number. The numbers are normally the same as building
numbers.
You can change the number of a door station (VTO) when it does not work as a SIP server.
Door station (VTO) numbers can contain 5 numbers at most, and it cannot be the same as
any room number.
Log in to the web interface.Step 1 The homepage is displayed.

Group Call
After you have enabled the group call function, you can call the main
indoor monitor (VTH) and its extensions at the same time.
If the Group Call function is enabled, the door station (VTO) will restart
automatically, and then this function will be valid.
4.4.1.2 Adding Indoor Monitors (VTH)
When the door station (VTO) you are operating works as the SIP server, you need to add all
indoor monitors (VTH) to the door station (VTO); otherwise door stations (VTO) cannot
communication with indoor monitors.
When there are master indoor monitors (VTH) and extensions, first you need to enable the
Group Call function on the Basic Interface, and then add indoor monitors (VTH). To enable the
Group Call function, refer to "4.4.1.1 Setting Door Station (VTO) No. (1)".
Adding One Indoor Monitor (VTH)
You need to add indoor monitor (VTH) to the web of the door station (VTO) only when door
station (VTO) works as SIP server.
When there are master indoor monitor (VTH) and extensions, both shall be added to the
web of the door station (VTO).
