Setting Up IP Intercom For The First Time
With WiFi Room Stations Only
Introduction
This tech guide will step you though the steps to set up the HikVision Villa IP Intercom for
the first time when using the Wi-Fi room stations (1 4-829).
This will allow each of the Sub room stations (Wi-Fi room stations (1 4-829)) to connect to
the system by Wi-Fi rather than using a LAN cable. The Master room station and the door
station still need to be connected by a LAN cable.
There are 2 sections in this tech guide.
Section 1.1 (On page 3) will guide you through the step on how to access the IP Intercom in
the iVMS software.
Section 1.2 (On page 4) will guide you through how to connect 1 door station to many room
stations.

Before you egin
Ensure you have the iVMS-42 software version 2.4.2.55 Build 2 1612 9 installed on your
computer. This can be downloaded from the Ness Website.
Before you program your door and room stations ensure you have version 1.4. build
17 3 2 or later installed. You can find the firmware version later on during the setup of the
device.
Notes
These steps are based on factory default settings with the devices not yet activated.
It’s recommend you setup the door station before setting up the room stations.
Your computer’s IP address needs to have the IP address as 192. . .xx (eg. 192. . .1) while
the system is being setup, otherwise it will have issues communicating to the door station
and room stations.
Only the Wi-Fi room stations (1 4-829) can be used. You can’t use the non Wi-Fi room
stations (1 4-828 or 1 4-828B) otherwise you will have video and audio issues.
A maximum of 16 room stations can be used.
(1 Master + 15 Sub Room stations = Total 16 Room Stations)
The Master room station must be connected by LAN to the network so it can talk to the
door station. The Wi-Fi on the master room station will be used to communicate to the sub
room stations. The LAN cable in the master room station will be used to communicate to the
door station.

password.

Master Room Station Setup
Handy tip when setting up room stations, connect the room station you are configuring
only, then plug the next one in etc. Connecting them all in together will make it hard to
work out what room station you are configuring since they are all displaying in the list with
the same IP address.
1. Connect a LAN cable into the Master room station and connect it to your network.
Only the master room station needs to connect by the LAN. (the Wi-Fi will be used to
connect the other sub room stations to it)
2. Wait for the touch screen to fully power up, then select ‘Indoor Station / Master Station’
from the left menu in iVMS.
3. Select the room station from the bottom list and click on ‘Activate’

4. When prompted, enter in a password for this door station. This can be anything you want.

remember.
If you ever want to reconfigure this door station at a later time, you will need to know this
password.
5. Select the door station you just activated and click on ‘Modify NetInfo’.
6. Make sure the software version is v1.4. build 17 3 2 or above before continuing. If it’s
not then you will need to update the firmware before setting up the system. Refer to the
firmware update tech note for steps on how to update the firmware.
