3Configuration and Commissioning
This chapter introduces basic configurations to the VTO and VTH devices.
Interface and function might vary with the device type you configured for the VTO. The actual
interface and function shall prevail.
Procedure
Before configuration, make sure that there is no short or open circuit.
Plan IP and unit/room number (works as a phone number) for each device.
Configure the VTO. See "3.2 Configuring VTO."
Configure the VTH. See the VTH user's manual.
Check if all settings are correct. See "3.3 Commissioning."
Configuring VTO
Connect the VTO to your PC with a network cable, and for first-time login, you need to create a new
password for the web interface.
3.2.1 Initialization
Power on the VTO.
Go to the IP address of the VTO in the browser.
For first-time login, enter the default IP (192.168.1.108). If you have multiple VTOs, we
recommend changing the default IP address (Network > Basic) to avoid conflict.

10
Device initialization
Enter and confirm the password, and then click Next.
Select Email, enter an email address for resetting password, and then click Next.
Click OK. The system goes to the login interface.
3.2.2 Configuring VTO Number
Numbers can be used to distinguish each VTO, and we recommend setting it according to unit or
building number.
You can change the number of a VTO when it is not working as the SIP server. A VTO number can
contain 5 numbers at most, and it cannot be the same with any room number.
Log in to the VTO web interface.
Main interface
Select Local Settings > Basic.

11
Device properties
Enter the number in No., and then click Save.
3.2.3 Configuring Network Parameters
Select Network > Basic.
TCP/IP information
Enter the parameters and click Save.
The VTO will automatically restart. You need to change the IP address of your PC to the same
network segment as the VTO to log in again.
3.2.4 Configuring SIP Servers
When connected to the same SIP server, all VTOs and VTHs can call each other. You can use a VTO or
other servers as the SIP server.
If the current VTO is the SIP server, Building No. and Unit No. will not be displayed on the
Device Properties interface.
If you go to Network Setting > SIP Server,enable Alternate Server and log in to the web
interface again, Building No. and Unit No. will be displayed on the Device Properties
interface.
Log in to the web interface.
Select Network > SIP Server.

12
SIP server
Select a SIP server.
VTO as SIP Server: This is applicable to only one building.
1) Enable SIP Server.
2) Select Server Type as VTO.
3) Configure the parameters. See Table 3-1.
4) Click Save. The VTO will restart automatically.
Platform (Express/DSS) as SIP server: This is applicable to multiple buildings or units. If
you do not have a platform, use a VTO as the SIP server.
1) Disable SIP Server.
2) Select Server Type to Express/DSS.
3) Configure the parameters.
Table 3-1 SIP server parameter description
Parameter Description
IP Address
IP address of the SIP server.
If Alternate Server is not enabled, the VTO cannot call the VTS.
Port
5060 by default when VTO work as SIP server.
5080 by default when the platform works as SIP server.
Username/Password Keep it default.
SIP Domain
Must be VDP when VTO works as SIP server.
Keep it null or default when the platform works as SIP server.
SIP Server Username/
Password Used to log in to the SIP server.
Alternate IP Addr. IP address of the alternate server.
Alternate Username Alternate server login username and password.
Alternate Password
Alternate VTS IP Addr. IP address of the alternate VTS.
Alternate Server
After entering alternate IP address, username, password, and VTS IP
address, you need to enable Alternate Server.
After Alternate Server is enabled, you can only enter the VTS IP
address, and the VTO will restart.
Click OK, and the VTO will restart automatically.

13
When a platform works as the SIP server, enable Support Building and Support Unit first if
it is necessary to set building number and building unit number.
3.2.5 Adding VTO
You can add VTO devices to the SIP server, and all the VTO devices connected to the same SIP server
can make video call between each other. This section is applicable when a VTO device works as SIP
server, and if you are using other servers as SIP server, see the corresponding manual for the detailed
configuration.
Log in to the web interface of the SIP server, and then select Household Setting > VTO No.
