QuikStart Programming Guide
ATTENTION:
This is an abbreviated programming manual, addressing basic program settings for an IS Series Hybrid (Local + IP) System. A complete set of instructions (Standard (IP)
Operation Manual / Standard (IP) Settings Manual) can be found on the CD provided with the IS-IPMV, IS-SOFT, or IS-CCU.
Terminology
Area An Area defines a location description to a common group of stations. Example: "High School,"
"Front Office," 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 configuration file used to control how each device in the
Site behaves. Any IS-IPC, IS-IPMV, IS-IPDV, or IS-IPDVF can be a Host.
Client A Client is a unit in an IS Site that does not contain a complete configuration file, and relies on the Host
for operational instructions. Any IS-IPC, IS-IPMV, IS-IPDV, IS-IPDVF, or IS-SOFT can be a Client.
DHCP DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows all DHCP configured 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 configured 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 Management 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).
General Precautions
HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
This guide is intended to be used for a single site IS Hybrid system running on a IPV4 network that includes an IS-IPC control unit, IS-IP door stations, IS-IPMV master stations, and IS-SOFT PC master stations.
Note: Refer to the IS Series Standard (IP) Setting Manual when using a IPV6 network or when multiple sites are required.
IMPORTANT:
When changes are made while programming, click Temporarily stored to save data prior to leaving each screen. The saved data will be applied to the system when the system is updated.
Step 1: System Layout
It is recommended that the IS-IPC be set as the Host . All other devices will be set as Clients . The final network needs to be a LAN or a VPN that supports Multicast. To program, use a network switch and CAT-5e cable to connect the PC to each device one at a time. When using a PoE switch, an 802.3af compliant PoE Class 0 switch is required.
Wiring Example:
Step 2: Configure PC's IP Address (not required if using a DHCP server)
The default IP address for each IS-IP device is https://192.168.0.40 . The PC will need to be set in the same subnet in order to connect to the IS-IP devices.
A. Open Control Panel
- - Windows® XP (classic view) Network Connections Double click Local Area Connection to open Connection Status window.
- - Windows® 7 (Category View) Network and Internet View network status and tasks Click Local Area Connection to open the Local Area Connection Status window.

- E. Click [OK] in the Connection Properties window to accept these changes.
Step 3: Log into IS-CCU (if using the IS-CCU)
When using the IS-CCU with the IS-IPC, the IS-CCU will need to be changed from a "local" system to an "IP" system.
- A. Open a web browser and point the address bar to https://192.168.0.30 . If using DHCP, enter the unit's IP address discovered with the IS_IPSEARCH program and hit [Enter]. Note: ensure that https (for security) is being used in the address bar.
- B. A security certificate error message will appear. Click "Continue to this website."
- C. Choose preferred language.
- D. Log in to the unit using the default administrator ID "aiphone," and default password "aiphone".

The specific multicast address used for video broadcast from the door to master is 239.0.1.4 (Network Settings: Common). This address must be routed between subnets for the system to work correctly. | ||
| * Note: When a master calls a door station, video most likely will be present. This is because master to door calls utilize unicast. | ||||
