Welcome

Congratulations on purchasing the door phone panel Fermax IP DP "VoIP Door
Phone", which is a SIP based VoIP version of "Fermax PBX DP" analog door phone
panel. This door phone can satisfy your need of communication with visitors at the
entrance to the building, to your company or at the entrance of your house. VoIP
means "Voice over Internet Protocol" - the door phone is connected to the computer
network and enables both P2P (peer to peer) connection - i.e. it calls to an IP address
of other VoIP device directly or it is registered to a SIP server, then it calls a phone
number. There can be assigned up to two 25 digit numbers including characters "* ",
" # " .

The basic module of the door phone always contains 2 pushbuttons and optionally the
first expansion, 8 pushbutton C module. The combination of Fermax New Cityline
panels enable the sets of door phone with 1 to 10 pushbuttons just by using the basic
electronics module of Fermax IP DP. You can also expand the whole system by the 8
pushbutton expansion module Fermax PBX EXP up to the limit of 64 pushbuttons. The
basic module can contain a colour camera, optionally there can be an add-on speaker
module with an amplifier Fermax PBX EA, which is used for very noisy areas. The
Fermax New Cityline panels are rich with an add ons. For example the panels offer
installations on the surface or flush mounted, they can be used both indoors and
outdoors, there can be add-on roofing used, etc.

The Fermax IP DP door phone panel is powered by 12V of the power supply, which
can also be used for powering the electrical lock of the door. The Fermax IP DP is also
PoE powered (Power over Ethernet). The features of the door phone are similar to a
hands-free telephone. Among basic features you can find the possibility of opening up
to two doors via connected electrical locks and also an easy WEB based programming.

The producer improves the SW (firmware) of the door phone panel continuously.
Fermax IP DP panel enables uploading the latest firmware version via a standard PC.

1.2. Used terminology

• Ethernet is a family of frame-based computer networking technologies for

local area networks (LANs

• LAN - a local area network (LAN) is a computer network covering a small

physical area, like a home, office, or small groups of buildings, such as a
school, or an airport.

• 10Base-T - 10 Mbit/s , it uses 8 position modular connectors, usually called

RJ45 in the context of Ethernet over twisted pair. The cables usually used are

four-pair twisted pair cable (though 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX only actually
require two of the pairs). Each of the standards support both full-duplex and
half-duplex communication. According to the standards, they all operate
over distances of up to 100 meters.

• 100Base-TX - so called Fast Ethernet, two pairs of UTP or STP cable, category

5.

• Twisted pair cabling is a type of wiring in which two conductors (the forward

and return conductors of a single circuit) are twisted together for the
purposes of canceling out electromagnetic interference (EMI) from external
sources; for instance, electromagnetic radiation from unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) cables, and crosstalk between neighboring pairs.

• UTP, Unshielded Twisted Pair

• STP,Shielded Twisted Pair - the cabling includes metal shielding over each

individual pair of copper wires. This type of shielding protects cable from
external EMI (electromagnetic interferences).

• WEB - World Wide Web (WWW, or web) - a world-wide application of HTTP

internet protocol

• HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is an internet protocol used originally for

exchanging hypertext documents in HTML format.

• USB (Universal Serial Bus) - modern way of connecting external devices to

the computer.

• Video codek ("coder and decoder") - compression H.263 is derived from

MPEG-4, H.264 is a coder for MPEG-4 AVC format. MPEG-4 is a type of video
compression - decreasing of data stream video sequence

• JPEG is a standard method of loss compression used for saving digital images

• Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology enabling transmission of

digitalised voice inside the packej of protocols family UDP/TCP/IP via
computer network. I tis used for making phone calls via Internet, Intranet or
any other kind of data connection

• TCP/IP contains a set of protocols for communication in the computer

network and it is the main protocol of Internet

5

• IP address is a number, which clearly identifies a network interface in the

computer network, which uses IP protocol

• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is an application protocol from

the family of TCP/IP. It is used for automatic assigning of IP addresses to
individual personal computers in the PC networks, thus simplyfing their
administration

• Internet is a word-wide system of mutually connected computer networks

• Intranet is a computer network similar to Internet, but it is a private one.

That means it is just used for small user groups (e.g. employees of a company
).

• PoE (Power over Ethernet) is powering via data network cable, with no need

of bringing the power supply via a separate cable

• NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a protocol for synchronisation of internal

computer clock

1.3. Assembly of panels

The building blocks of Fermax IP DP are the basic panels which differ by its size,
number of pushbuttons, if the visit card has got two or one pushbuttons.

1.3.1. Terminology and orientation in panels

4 CP 204 (item number) as a representative of terminology. It is a panel with height
of 199mm. It contains an audio module, a colour camera and two times 4
pushbuttons, i.e. 8 pushbuttons in total.

first digit:
1 - 9 defines the height of the whole panel, the width of all panels is 130mm.

1 - 128mm
2 - 151mm
3 - 175mm
4 - 199mm
5 - 246mm
6 - 294mm
7 - 341mm
8 - 389mm
9 - 436mm

group of letters: defines basic HW features of panel:
A - audio panel
C - audio panel with a camera
P - panel with pushbuttons
V - panel with a window
W - panel with two windows

first digit after letters:
1 / 2 - defines number of pushbuttons at visit card 1 (on the right) or 2 (on the left or

right)

next two digits:
01 - 15 - number of visit cards. If multiplied by the previous digit, then we get a

number of pushbuttons on the panel

By this marking one compact panel is defined. The panel can be expanded by other
panels vertically or more optimally, in a horizontal direction. In case of horizontal
expansion, then it is necessary to use the same height of panels (defined by the first
digit of the item number).

All panels can be mounted either on the surface or they can be flush mounted. In the
latest catalogue of Fermax you can choose the correct New Cityline accessories incl.
for example the protective roofing.

Fermax IP DP panels can be equipped with an additional time switch called
"TimeRelay". It is used for an expansion of the number of switches. It is
programmable. Based on switching of one of the two switches in the Fermax IP DP
panel, the TimeRelay can simulate e.g. sequent opening of the door or alternatively
you can connect the exit button.

1.4. Characteristics of the modules

1.4.1. The basic module of electronics Fermax PBX DP

The basic module of Fermax IP DP panel is supplied in two versions - with two
pushbuttons - Fermax IP DP-2 (a version for 1 or 2 pushbuttons) and two pushbuttons
with a possibility of expansion by additional 8 pushbuttons, i.e. each basic panel
allows connection of up to 10 pushbuttons with no further accessories of Fermax IP
DP panel. The basic module can be further expanded by additional 8 pushbuttons via
modules called Fermax PBX DP EXP and a keypad module called Fermax PBX KEY.

Picture 1 Schematics of connection and set-up elements

Picture 2 The real image of connection and set-up elements

1. PoE module - the Fermax IP DP panel is equipped by a circuit supplying the power
over UTP cable - PoE. If your network switch is equipped by PoE, or if you have
got a PoE power supply (a box in the size of a power supply adapter inserted into
the input of the UTP cable), then for the correct function of the door phone panel
you do not need an external power supply of 12V. If you use an electrical lock for
opening the door, then you need to use an external power supply adapter (only
in the circuit with relay contacts). You can also use a lower power consumption
electrical lock. In this case please use the connector on IPNCmod 12V. When the
door phone panel is PoE powered, there is 12V/350mA available.

2. Yellow LED - signallisation of active power supply

3. Yellow LED - data activity on the network connection (continuous light during
data transmission)

4. Green LED - network connection (Ethernet) - continuous light in case the UTP
cable is connected correctly.

11

5. Loudspaker loudness SPK - by the trimmer you can set a desired loudness of the
loudspeaker. In case you need to further increase the power output of the
loudspeaker, you can use an add-on module with an amplifier Fermax PBX EA.

6. Loudspeaker connection SPK

7. Microphone connection MIC - attention on the right polarity!!!

8. MIC loudness setting - by the trimmer you set the desired level of loudness of the
microphone.

9. Settings of Echo cancellation. Fermax IP DP door phone panel is a hands-free
telephone. During the phone call the signal from a loudspeaker comes back to the
microphone and it comes with a delay to the calling party (that is caused by a
digital conversion and transmission of the signal). For this reason the door phone
panel is equipped by an echo cancellation circuit. It is neccessary to pay more
attention during the setting of the echo cancellation circuit. The right setting of
echo cancellation means at what level of sound the mic turns off in Fermax IP DP
in order to avoid returning the delayed sound.

10. Setting of sensor sensitivity on surrounding light. It is valid only for modules
equipped with a camera. If case the surrounding light decreases below at certain
level (it is set by this trimmer), then the camera is equipped by a white LED
diodes for extra illumination. These LEDs are activated during a phone call only.

11. Green LED - it signals an outgoing call (the door phone panel calls the destination
number or IP address)

12. Yellow LED - it signals an incomming call (there is a call comming to the door
phone)

13. Ethernet connection (UTP cable) - a connection to the computer network. If you
have got a network switch with PoE or a PoE power supply (a box in the size of a
power supply adapter inserted to the input of UTP cable), then you do not need
an extra power supply for operation of the door phone
panel.

14. DIP switch - setting of default values and the mode of
Fermax IP DP door phone via a DIP switch.

1: reserve (unused)
2: mode switching P2P / SIP server

3: basic settings - resets all values to factory settings except for the memory of
numbers
4: sets the starting IP address to 192.168.1.250

All changes show always after turning off and turning on of the power supply
(restart).
The DIP switch 3 and 4 needs to be switched back to "on" position after the start
of VoIP module. Otherwise after the restart the set parameters or the new IP
address are rewritten back to the default mode.

15. Output of 12VDC (max. 350mA!). This output is used primarily for supplying the
power to the lowconsumption electrical lock when PoE is used.

16. Switching contact 2 (NO= normally open, NC= normally closed and COM=
common output of the switch).

17. Connector 8 - for connecting 8 pushbuttons
(integrated expansion). For connection
please use an interconnection cable Fermax
PBX CC8. Each colour of the cable is
assigned exactly for a specific pushbutton ­see picture 3.

Connection of pushbuttons:
black = 3rd pushbutton
orange = 4th pushbutton
green = 5th pushbutton
white = 6th pushbutton
red = 7th pushbutton
yellow = 8th pushbutton
brown = 9th pushbutton
blue = 10th pushbutton

The numbers of pushbuttons begin with 3, because the first two buttons are
integrated on the basic panel.

18. Connector 5 - connection of the 8-pushbutton expansion Fermax PBX EXP or the
keypad Fermax PBX KEY. The connection is done via Fermax PBX CC5 cable. It is a
data connection only. Power supply of illumination and the common output is on
the Connector 3.

19. Connector 3 - it is used for connection of the power supply and the common
output of the pushbuttons. The original Fermax cable is used (Fermax PBX CC3).

13

20. Jumper Light enables switching on/off the illumination of visit cards.

21. Switching contact of the 2nd switch (NO=normally open, NC=normally closed and
COM=common output of the switch).

22. When using Fermax IP DP, it is suggested to use either an alternating power
supply voltage min. 10VAC - max. 15VAC or a direct power supply voltage min.
12VDC - max. - 18VDC. which is connected to the connector "12V". The load of
the power supply depends on the number of modules used, because it is used
also for powering the illumination of visit cards - if the max. number of
pushbutton panels is used, the power consumption does not go beyond 500mA.
This power supply can be also used for powering the electrical locks, then you
need to calculate alsko with the power consumption of electrical locks. Usually it
is enough to use a power supply of 12VAC/1A÷2A.

1.4.2. Example of switches connection

The switching contact of relay is separated galvanically from other circuits of the door
phone panel.

When using PoE, the output of 12V is connected galvanically with the PC network.
Therefore when using PoE power supply, please pay attention during manipulation
and installation. The circuit is connected galvanically with the computer network!!!

1.4.3. Front panel

1. Assembly openings for mounting of the
front panel. After installation of the top
opening, please cover it with the plastic
cover with Fermax logo. When bottom
opening please cover with the grey,
round plastic cover. Both covers incl.
the screws are part of delivery as
accessories.

2. Loudspeaker.

3. Camera with illumination and a sensor
for switching on the illumination.

4. Pushbuttons. These two pushbuttons
can be found on the basic electronics
module (the main PCB). In case you use a
panel without these first two pushbuttons, then please leave them out during the
programming process (pushbuttons 1 and 2).

5. Visit card. The exchange of visit card is described later on in the manual. The visit
card is illuminated by white LEDs (they can be switched off). You can also find a
red LED under the visit card - it is used for signallisation of the door phone panel
status.

6. Microphone.

1.4.4. Exchange of visit cards

The visit cards are disassembled from the front of the
door phone panel as shown on the picture. Please use a
tool carefully, do not damage the front panel or the
cover of visit cards. The cover of visit cards is a tub into
which you place the paper with descriotion (the visit
card).
