Aiphone IS SERIES Manual

For rst time programming, it is recommended to follow Step 1 - Step 11 in order.
Step 1: System Layout
- Choose host and clients.
Step 2: Congure the PC’s IP address
- Allows the PC to communicate with the IS-IP devices.
Step 3: Install and Congure IS-SOFT Application (optional)
Step 4: Log in to IS-IP device (using a DHCP enabled router or a crossover cable / basic switch)
- Entering name and password for the rst time.
Step 5: Change the Network Settings: Individual for each Client
- Setting the IP address and assigning the client to the Host.
Step 6: Congure the Host
- Setting the IP address and naming the system.
Step 7: IP Unit Registration - Host
- Find client devices through the host.
Step 8: Register the station numbers and names
- Assigning numbers and names to each station.
Step 9: Advanced station settings for video door stations
- Dening which doors call which masters.
Step 10: Time and date setting
- Updating the time and date displayed on the master(s).
Step 11: Update the system with all stored data
- Uploading all settings to the system.
Terminology
Area An Area denes a location description to a common group of stations. Example: “High School,”
“Front Ofce,” or “Warehouse.”
Site A Site in an IS system is a LAN which contains a single Host and up to 31 Clients. While the
IS system can have up to 32 Sites, this guide only covers a single Site system.
Host A Host is the unit in an IS Site containing a conguration le used to control how each device in the
Site behaves. Any IS-IPDV, IS-IPDVF, IS-IPMV, or IS-IPC (not covered in this guide) can be a Host.
Client A Client is a unit in an IS Site that does not contain a complete conguration le, and relies on the Host
for operational instructions. Any IS-IPDV, IS-IPDVF, IS-IPMV, IS-SOFT, or IS-IPC can be a Client.
DHCP DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol) allows all DHCP congured devices to ask for an IP address
when it powers on. In the context of an IS system, Clients may be DHCP, but a Host should always be
Static. DHCP with a reservation congured by the DHCP server is possible, but not recommended.
LAN A LAN (Local Area Network) is typically managed by a DHCP enabled router. Anything connected to the
WAN port of the router is considered outside the Local Area Network. While there are numerous ways of
connecting multiple LANs together, the only supported network layout for this guide is a LAN or a VPN.
VPN A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a method of allowing two isolated LANs to communicate with each
other through a public network without losing privacy. For the purposes of the IS system, it can be
considered a single LAN.
IGMP IGMP (Internet Group Messaging Protocol) is the protocol used by Multicasting systems, including the
IS system. This protocol must be supported by and enabled on the networking hardware.
Multicast Multicasting is a method of communicating a single stream of information, such as video or paging
announcements, from a single host to many hosts. This saves bandwidth compared with sending the same
packets to each recipient one at a time. The IS system uses Multicast for video during the call-in, but not
when a master monitors the door (since it is the single recipient when the MONITOR button is used).
