4 Configuration
This chapter introduces how to initialize, connect, and make primary configurations to door
stations (VTO) and indoor monitors (VTH) to realize basic functions, including device
management, calling, and monitoring. For details, see the user manual.
Configuration Process
Before configuration, check each device and make sure there is no short circuit or open circuit.
Plan IP address for each device, and also plan the apartment number and room
number you need.
Configure door stations (VTO). See "4.3 Configuring Door Stations (VTO)."
1) Initialize door stations (VTO). See "4.3.1 Initialization."
2) Configure door station (VTO) numbers. See "4.3.2 Configuring Door Station (VTO)
Numbers."
3) Configure door station (VTO) network parameters. See "4.3.3 Configuring Network
Parameters."
4) Configure SIP Server. See "4.3.4 Configuring SIP Server."
5) Configure target room number and group call. See "4.3.5 Configuring Call No. and
Group Call."
6) Add door stations (VTO) to the SIP server. See "4.3.6 Adding Door Station (VTO)."
7) Add room number to the SIP server. See "4.3.7 Adding Room Numbers."
Configure indoor monitors (VTH). See the VTH user's manual.
Verify Configuration. See "4.4 Verifying Configuration."
VDPConfig
You can download the "VDPConfig" and perform device initialization, IP address modification
and system upgrading for multiple devices at the same time. For the details, see the
corresponding user's manual.
Configuring Door Stations (VTO)
Connect the door station (VTO) to your PC with network cable, and for first time login, you need
to create a new password for the web interface.
4.3.1 Initialization
The default IP address of door station (VTO) is 192.168.1.110, and make sure the PC is in the
same network segment as the door station (VTO).
Connect the door station (VTO) to power source, and then boot it up.

12
Open the internet browser on the PC, then enter the default IP address of the door
station (VTO) in the address bar, and then press Enter.
Device initialization
Enter and confirm the password, and then click Next.
The email setting interface is displayed.
Select the Email check box, and then enter your Email address. This Email address
can be used to reset the password, and it is recommended to finish this setting.
Click Next. The initialization succeeded.
Click OK.Login interface
4.3.2 Configuring Door Station (VTO) Number
The door station (VTO) number can be used to differentiate each door station (VTO), and it is
normally configured according to apartment or building number.
⚫You can change the number of a door station (VTO) when it is not working as SIP server.
⚫The door station (VTO) number can contain 5 numbers at most, and it cannot be the same
as any room number.

13
Log in to the web interface of the door station (VTO), and then the main interface is
displayed. Main interface
Select Local Setting > Basic. Device properties
In the No. input box, enter the door station (VTO) number you planned for the door
station (VTO) you are operating, and then click Confirm to save.
4.3.3 Configuring Network Parameters
Select Network Setting > Basic.
TCP/IP information
Enter the network parameters you planed, and then click Save.

14
The door station (VTO) will restart, and you need to modify the IP address of your PC to
the same network segment as the door station (VTO) to log in again.
4.3.4 Configuring SIP Server
The SIP server is required in the network to transmit intercom protocol, and then all the door
station (VTO) and indoor monitor (VTH) connected to the same SIP server can make video
calls among each other. You can use door stations (VTO) or other servers as SIP server.
Select Network Setting > SIP Server.
SIP server
Select the server type you need.
⚫If the door station (VTO) you are visiting works as SIP server
Select the Enable check box at SIP Server, and then click Save.
The door station (VTO) will restart, and after restarting, you can then add door
stations (VTO) and VTH devices to the door station (VTO) you are operating. See
"4.3.6 Adding Door Station (VTO) and 4.3.7 Adding Room Number."
If the door station (VTO) you are visiting does not work as SIP server, do not select the
Enable check box at SIP Server, otherwise the connection will fail.
⚫If other door station (VTO) works as SIP server
Select VTO in the Server Type list, and then configure the parameters. See Table
4-1.
