3 Preparation and Commissioning
Carry out commissioning to ensure that the device can realize basic network access, call and
monitoring functions.
Preparation
Before commissioning:
Power on the device only after there is no short or open circuit.
Plan IP addresses and numbers (works as phone numbers) for every VTO and VTH.
Confirm the position of the SIP server.
The device must be used with a VTO that is the SIP server. This section takes a unit VTO
as an example. See corresponding user’s manuals for other VTO types.
Log in to the web interface of every VTO and VTH and configure all relevant information.
3.1.1 VTO Settings
3.1.1.1 Initialization
