Configure the call button
By default, the call button is configured to make VMS (video management software) calls. If you want to keep
this configuration, you just need to add the Axis intercom to the VMS.
This example explains how to set up the system to call a contact in the contact list when a visitor presses the
call button.
1. Go to Communication > Calls > Call button.
2. Under Recipients, remove VMS.
3. Under Recipients, select an existing or create a new contact.
To disable the call button, turn off Enable call button.
Set up as card reader - network connection
To use the door station as a card reader, you must connect it to a door controller. The door controller stores all
credentials and keeps track of who is allowed through the door. In this example we connect the devices over the
network. We also modify the allowed card types.
Important
The network connection only works with Axis door controllers. To connect to a non-Axis door controller, you
need to physically connect the devices with wires. See .

Set up as card reader - wired connection
To use the door station as a card reader, you must connect it to a door controller. The door controller stores all
credentials and keeps track of who is allowed through the door. In this example, we connect the devices with
wires, we use the Wiegand protocol, activate the beeper and use one I/O port for the LED. We also modify the
allowed card types.
Important
Use I/O ports that are not already in use. If you use I/O ports already in use, any events created for these
ports will stop working.
Before you start
