Outdoor Station
Switch or PoE Injector?
A switch connects individual network-enabled devices to one another and delivers data. In
the case of a home network, this function is normally performed by an existing router with
multiple network ports, which is also capable of connecting to the Internet (such as the
Fritz!Box). In this case and if only one T26 door station needs to be supplied with power, it
is suicient to purchase one PoE injector.
When purchasing a switch with an additional PoE power supply, make sure that a suicient
number of ports are supported (this is especially important if other PoE-supplied devices
apart from the T26 are connected to the switch).
Furthermore, it is crucial that the switch fullls all the requirements for using the PoE-supplied
door station outdoors (electromagnetic compatibility, lightning and surge protection through
galvanically-separated ports).
1.4.6 Additional Video Remote Stations
Thanks to the use of network technology, the T26 is not bound to just one expensive, manu-
facturer-dependent remote station. It can be connected to any suitable VoIP video phone in
the world. In addition to supporting the two-way video communication feature with video
and sound, these devices support additional features such as door/light control, image
search, quick recording and PTZ functions. So called SIP sophones are also suitable as
remote video stations.
1.4.7 Door Sensors
Connection options are also provided on the door station for conventional door and door
and door lock sensors (door open/closed, lock open/closed).
1.4.8 Electrical Door Opener
The T26 Door Station should always be connected to an electrical door locking system,
which can be activated via the MX-DoorMaster in a tamper-proof manner.
Product Information: Self-Locking Door Lock
Traditional door openers only electromechanically release a locking tab on the door. In
order to open an additional, key-locked door without using the key and as described above,
a door lock that can be locked/unlocked electrically is required instead of a traditional
door opener (e.g., electromechnical locks, www.assaabloy.com).
This also applies when the door in question has to be locked at all times for insurance reasons
and the keyless door opening function of the T26 is to be used as well (transponder/PIN).
