cables. If you use PoE as a source of power, the WiFi interface of the Video Door Station is
automatically inactive, and the four wires for PoE then simultaneously form the data link. The Video
Door Station won’t start if your PoE Switch or PoE injector does not support the PoE Standard IEEE
802.3af Mode A (see Diagnostic-LED and Diagnostic-Sounds).
1.
Disconnect the PoE switch or PoE injector from the power grid.
2.
Place the network cable in the installation site of the Video Door Station.
Do not combine the power supply from the power supply unit (mains adaptor) with the power supply
via PoE.
Step 5: Further connections (
optional
)
If desired, connect additional wires to the installation site of the Video Door Station. The wires or
connection options mentioned in this section are optional.
Connecting the unit to a network
You can connect the Video Door Station to your existing network via
WiFi, or alternatively use a network cable (Ethernet). For reasons of
network stability, we principally recommend using a network cable, as
WiFi is sensitive to interference (range, house walls acting as shields,
reliability of performance, third party WiFi networks, wireless
transmitters causing interference in the area, etc.).
The Video Door Station can be powered by PoE or using the power
supply unit provided.
If you use PoE as a source of power, the WiFi interface of the Video Door
Station remains inactive.
Use only four wires (1, 2, 3 and 6) of a network cable that meets the
Cat.5 standard or a better one. The other four wires of the network cable
(4, 5, 7 and 8) are not required.
Connect the network cable in the house to your Internet router or to
your PoE switch or PoE injector that is connected to your Internet router.
Be sure to use four
insulated, shielded and
twisted wires of a
network
cable
in
accordance with the
Cat.5 standard or better.
Electric door openers
The Video Door Station has a zero-potential relay contact for a
standardised electric door, gate or garage opener (two wires). There is
the possibility of switching on all electric door openers that work at a
maximum power of 1A in the voltage range of up to 24V (AC/DC). The
Video Door Station does not provide its own power supply for the
electric door opener. This is provided through the separate power supply
of the electric door opener. You can learn more about the installation of
the power supply from the instruction manual or technical specifications
of your door opener. Should you have any questions about this, please
contact the manufacturer of your door opener. You can find compatible
