How to configure
Here will use a example project to guide how to configure the system.
The example as below:
Build 1: Building within 128 audio handsets.
Build 2: Building within 32 video monitors
Build 3: Building with more than 32 video monitors, here take as 96
Build 4: Villa or Small apartment within 4 monitors
And 2 Common door stations and 2 Guard units
Each Building is a typical building in 2-Wire system, in example will only show one for each type, but in configure the building quantities can be
set as required
Node Type
To identity each IPG's duty is important, Node Type is to make each IPG knows what responds for, there are 5 kind of different type:
1. Common Door station, this Node Type connect with one DPC-D218S, and it can call to all the indoor units in the whole system,
such as D1 and D2 in the example
2. Door station and Indoor Monitor, this Node Type connect with multi door station (less than 4) and multi indoor units (less
than 32 video or 128 audio), door station is private and can only reach to this building. such as A1, A2 and A3 in the example
3. Door station, this Node Type connect with one DPC-D218S, but it limits to call to only the indoor units inside the building, it
works for the building as normally door station, such as C1 and C2 in the example
4. Indoor Monitor, this Node Type connect with only multi monitors(no more 32), it is a extent for the High-Rise building for each
more 32 monitors, such as B1, B2 and B3 in the example
5. Guard Unit, this Node Type is not IPG but DPM-D246-IP, it can call all the units and been call by any door station, such
