Phone", which is a SIP based VoIP version of "Fermax PBX DP" analo door phone
panel. This door phone can satisfy your need of communication with visitors at the
entrance to the buildin , to your company or at the entrance of your house. VoIP
means "Voice over Internet Protocol" - the door phone is connected to the computer
network and enables both P2P (peer to peer) connection - i.e. it calls to an IP address
of other VoIP device directly or it is re istered to a SIP server, then it calls a phone
number. There can be assi ned up to two 25 di it numbers includin characters "* ",
" # " .
The basic module of the door phone always contains 2 pushbuttons and optionally the
first expansion, 8 pushbutton C module. The combination of Fermax New Cityline
panels enable the sets of door phone with 1 to 10 pushbuttons just by usin the basic
electronics module of Fermax IP DP. You can also expand the whole system by the 8
pushbutton expansion module Fermax PBX EXP up to the limit of 64 pushbuttons. The
basic module can contain a colour camera, optionally there can be an add-on speaker
module with an amplifier Fermax PBX EA, which is used for very noisy areas. The
Fermax New Cityline panels are rich with an add ons. For example the panels offer
installations on the surface or flush mounted, they can be used both indoors and
outdoors, there can be add-on roofin used, etc.
The Fermax IP DP door phone panel is powered by 12V of the power supply, which
can also be used for powerin the electrical lock of the door. The Fermax IP DP is also
PoE powered (Power over Ethernet). The features of the door phone are similar to a
hands-free telephone. Amon basic features you can find the possibility of openin up
to two doors via connected electrical locks and also an easy WEB based pro rammin .

•10Base-T - 10 Mbit/s , it uses 8 position modular connectors, usually called
RJ45 in the context of Ethernet over twisted pair. The cables usually used are
four-pair twisted pair cable (thou h 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX only actually
require two of the pairs). Each of the standards support both full-duplex and
half-duplex communication. Accordin to the standards, they all operate
over distances of up to 100 meters.
•100Base-TX - so called Fast Ethernet, two pairs of UTP or STP cable, cate ory
5.
•Twisted pair cabling is a type of wirin in which two conductors (the forward
and return conductors of a sin le circuit) are twisted to ether for the
purposes of cancelin out electroma netic interference (EMI) from external
sources; for instance, electroma netic radiation from unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) cables, and crosstalk between nei hborin pairs.
•UTP, Unshielded Twisted Pair
•STP,Shielded Twisted Pair - the cablin includes metal shieldin over each
individual pair of copper wires. This type of shieldin protects cable from
external EMI (electroma netic interferences).

All panels can be mounted either on the surface or they can be flush mounted. In the
latest catalo ue of Fermax you can choose the correct New Cityline accessories incl.
for example the protective roofin .

Fermax IP DP panels can be equipped with an additional time switch called
"TimeRelay". It is used for an expansion of the number of switches. It is
pro rammable. Based on switchin of one of the two switches in the Fermax IP DP
panel, the TimeRelay can simulate e. . sequent openin of the door or alternatively
you can connect the exit button.

1.4. Characteristics of the mod les
1.4.1. The basic mod le of electronics Fermax PBX DP
The basic module of Fermax IP DP panel is supplied in two versions - with two
pushbuttons - Fermax IP DP-2 (a version for 1 or 2 pushbuttons) and two pushbuttons
with a possibility of expansion by additional 8 pushbuttons, i.e. each basic panel
allows connection of up to 10 pushbuttons with no further accessories of Fermax IP
DP panel. The basic module can be further expanded by additional 8 pushbuttons via
modules called Fermax PBX DP EXP and a keypad module called Fermax PBX KEY.
Picture 1 Schematics of connection and set-up elements

Picture 2 The real image of connection and set-up elements
1. PoE module - the Fermax IP DP panel is equipped by a circuit supplyin the power
over UTP cable - PoE. If your network switch is equipped by PoE, or if you have
ot a PoE power supply (a box in the size of a power supply adapter inserted into
the input of the UTP cable), then for the correct function of the door phone panel
you do not need an external power supply of 12V. If you use an electrical lock for
openin the door, then you need to use an external power supply adapter (only
in the circuit with relay contacts). You can also use a lower power consumption
electrical lock. In this case please use the connector on IPNCmod 12V. When the
door phone panel is PoE powered, there is 12V/350mA available.
2. Yellow LED - si nallisation of active power supply
3. Yellow LED - data activity on the network connection (continuous li ht durin
data transmission)
4. Green LED - network connection (Ethernet) - continuous li ht in case the UTP
cable is connected correctly.

5. Loudspaker loudness SPK - by the trimmer you can set a desired loudness of the
loudspeaker. In case you need to further increase the power output of the
loudspeaker, you can use an add-on module with an amplifier Fermax PBX EA.
6. Loudspeaker connection SPK
7. Microphone connection MIC - attention on the ri ht polarity!!!
8. MIC loudness settin - by the trimmer you set the desired level of loudness of the
microphone.
9. Settin s of Echo cancellation. Fermax IP DP door phone panel is a hands-free
telephone. Durin the phone call the si nal from a loudspeaker comes back to the
microphone and it comes with a delay to the callin party (that is caused by a
di ital conversion and transmission of the si nal). For this reason the door phone
panel is equipped by an echo cancellation circuit. It is neccessary to pay more
attention durin the settin of the echo cancellation circuit. The ri ht settin of
echo cancellation means at what level of sound the mic turns off in Fermax IP DP
in order to avoid returnin the delayed sound.
10. Settin of sensor sensitivity on surroundin li ht. It is valid only for modules
equipped with a camera. If case the surroundin li ht decreases below at certain
level (it is set by this trimmer), then the camera is equipped by a white LED
diodes for extra illumination. These LEDs are activated durin a phone call only.
11. Green LED - it si nals an out oin call (the door phone panel calls the destination
number or IP address)
12. Yellow LED - it si nals an incommin call (there is a call commin to the door
phone)
13. Ethernet connection (UTP cable) - a connection to the computer network. If you
have ot a network switch with PoE or a PoE power supply (a box in the size of a
power supply adapter inserted to the input of UTP cable), then you do not need
an extra power supply for operation of the door phone
panel.
14. DIP switch - settin of default values and the mode of
Fermax IP DP door phone via a DIP switch.
1: reserve (unused)
2: mode switchin P2P / SIP server

3: basic settin s - resets all values to factory settin s except for the memory of
numbers
4: sets the startin IP address to 192.168.1.250
All chan es show always after turnin off and turnin on of the power supply
(restart).
The DIP switch 3 and 4 needs to be switched back to "on" position after the start
of VoIP module. Otherwise after the restart the set parameters or the new IP
address are rewritten back to the default mode.
15. Output of 12VDC (max. 350mA!). This output is used primarily for supplyin the
power to the lowconsumption electrical lock when PoE is used.
16. Switchin contact 2 (NO= normally open, NC= normally closed and COM=
common output of the switch).
17. Connector 8 - for connectin 8 pushbuttons
(inte rated expansion). For connection
please use an interconnection cable Fermax
PBX CC8. Each colour of the cable is
assi ned exactly for a specific pushbutton -
see picture 3.
Connection of pushbuttons:
black = 3rd pushbutton
oran e = 4th pushbutton
reen = 5th pushbutton
white = 6th pushbutton
red = 7th pushbutton
yellow = 8th pushbutton
brown = 9th pushbutton
blue = 10th pushbutton
The numbers of pushbuttons be in with 3, because the first two buttons are
inte rated on the basic panel.
18. Connector 5 - connection of the 8-pushbutton expansion Fermax PBX EXP or the
keypad Fermax PBX KEY. The connection is done via Fermax PBX CC5 cable. It is a
data connection only. Power supply of illumination and the common output is on
the Connector 3.
19. Connector 3 - it is used for connection of the power supply and the common
output of the pushbuttons. The ori inal Fermax cable is used (Fermax PBX CC3).

20. Jumper Li ht enables switchin on/off the illumination of visit cards.
21. Switchin contact of the 2nd switch (NO=normally open, NC=normally closed and
COM=common output of the switch).
22. When usin Fermax IP DP, it is su ested to use either an alternatin power
supply volta e min. 10VAC - max. 15VAC or a direct power supply volta e min.
12VDC - max. - 18VDC. which is connected to the connector "12V". The load of
the power supply depends on the number of modules used, because it is used
also for powerin the illumination of visit cards - if the max. number of
pushbutton panels is used, the power consumption does not o beyond 500mA.
This power supply can be also used for powerin the electrical locks, then you
need to calculate alsko with the power consumption of electrical locks. Usually it
is enou h to use a power supply of 12VAC/1A÷2A.
1.4.2. Example of switches connection
The switchin contact of relay is separated alvanically from other circuits of the door
phone panel.

When usin PoE, the output of 12V is connected alvanically with the PC network.
Therefore when usin PoE power supply, please pay attention durin manipulation
and installation. The circuit is connected alvanically with the computer network!!!
1.4.3. Front panel
1. Assembly openin s for mountin of the
front panel. After installation of the top
openin , please cover it with the plastic
cover with Fermax lo o. When bottom
openin please cover with the rey,
round plastic cover. Both covers incl.
the screws are part of delivery as
accessories.
2. Loudspeaker.
3. Camera with illumination and a sensor
for switchin on the illumination.
4. Pushbuttons. These two pushbuttons
can be found on the basic electronics
module (the main PCB). In case you use a
panel without these first two pushbuttons, then please leave them out durin the
pro rammin process (pushbuttons 1 and 2).
5. Visit card. The exchan e of visit card is described later on in the manual. The visit
card is illuminated by white LEDs (they can be switched off). You can also find a
red LED under the visit card - it is used for si nallisation of the door phone panel
status.
6. Microphone.
1.4.4. Exchange of visit cards
The visit cards are disassembled from the front of the
door phone panel as shown on the picture. Please use a
tool carefully, do not dama e the front panel or the
cover of visit cards. The cover of visit cards is a tub into
which you place the paper with descriotion (the visit
card).

1.4.7. Keypad mod le Fermax PBX KEY
The keypad module is connected via a cable Fermax PBX CC5 and a cable Fermax PBX
CC3. The connection is similar to the connection of the expansion module. The
difference is that the keypad module is always the last in the row (you cannot connect
to the keypad module any other module) and keyboard module can be connected to
the first, second or third position. CAUTION:
-1st position means that the keyboard (cable CC5) is connected directly to the
base module.
-2nd position means that the keyboard is connected to the first expansion module
Fermax PBX EXP (between the keyboard and the basic module is plu ed an
extension module and two cables CC5).
-3rd position means that it is connected to the second expansion module Fermax
PBX EXP (between the keyboard and the basic module are connected with 2
extension modules and 3 cables CC5).
This means that apart from the keyboard can be used 0-26 buttons with direct dial
telephone nuber (depends on the specific confi uration).
Please pay attention durin pro rammin - you need to specify correctly to which
position the keypad is connected.
Diallin is realised by a sequent pushin of number pushbuttons.
When enterin a password, you need to press the B (or bell)
pushbutton. To han up, please press the pushbutton A and the

2.2. Visitor at Door
The all-purpose uard function is influenced partly by used uard assembly (with
keyboard or without it) and partly by settin of uard parameters.
2.2.1. DoorPhone witho t Keyboard
The DoorPhone buttons are provided by nameplates or positions of persons inside the
object. The incomin person will press the correspondin button, the DoorPhone will
lift up the VoIP canale neither immediately (the button is not the first number from
code lock), or with delay and dial the pro rammed phone number thru VoIP, but dial
number differs by choice mode, which is set in the DoorPhone :
-Day/ni ht mode = bein the DoorPhone in Day mode, so it is always dialin
a number set in table 1, in Ni ht mode, it is always dialin a number set in
table 2. Switchin is possible use manual (two codes) or automatic (table
"Day intervals")
-mode two number roup = first press - it always dials a number set in table
1. By repeated press of the same button or detection of busy tone after
dialin the DoorPhone will select the number from the second roup (table
2). The next press of the same button a ain selects a number of the first
roup, etc..……
