Video Door Entry Systems – Linking 2 or More IP Door Stations

We will outline the basic setup for adding a second (or more) door station to an existing IP door entry system.

We assume the initial system configuration has already been completed (a monitor is already set up with the main door station). Now, the next step is to link the additional missing door stations.

To begin, it’s important to identify our devices, as shown in our IVMS4200 program.

In this example, we already have an additional monitor, which does not affect our configuration.

The key concept to understand for performing this setup is as follows:

  • There are 2 passwords:
    1. Password: The activation password for the devices (the usual one)
    2. Registration Password: The key that allows the secondary door station to register with the main door station (i.e., to link them).

SETTINGS ON THE SECONDARY DOOR STATION

To begin, access the configuration of the SECONDARY DOOR STATION and set it as a slave (replace the number 0 with the number 1 if it’s the first slave station, number 2 if it’s the second, and so on). Do this in the “Villa Door Station No” parameter within the menu located below:

  • After that, the door station will restart.

Once rebooted, navigate to the “Session Settings” menu and enter the following:

  1. Main Door Station IP: Enter the IP address of the main door station.
  2. Registration Password: Here, you can assign any password you prefer. For our example, we’ll use “12345abc”.

Note: It’s preferable to use the same password as the activation password of the door station.

SETTINGS ON THE MAIN DOOR STATION

It’s necessary to access our main door station, select “Device Management,” and add the details of our secondary door station.

*NOTE: If your door station is DSKD8003IME1, then you must use remote configuration through IVMS4200. If your door station is a different model, you can do it through its web interface.

The information you input must be accurate for the secondary door station. Once you’ve entered the details, click “OK” (save). After about 1 minute, your second door station will be successfully added without any issues.

Evitando los costos de la inactividad: los beneficios de invertir en cables de fibra óptica de alta calidad.

Cuando la fibra óptica se retrae internamente esta pierde gran parte o total conexión con la última fusión o conectorización o en su defecto una fractura total en cualquier punto de la acometida de fibra.

Lo explico un poco mejor: El cable fibra óptica y todos sus elementos, con las inclemencias del clima o ambiente, humedad, frío, calor, rayos UV etc, entran constantementes cambios físicos como son las contracciones y expansiones de los materiales, el core pierde tracción sobre el buffer que está en el loose tube, y viene la catástrofe “Puede ser 1 usuario o miles de estos afectados”

  • Algunas marcas no reconocidas con estándares internacionales, fabricadas en la INDIA: Cablix, Policab, KEI etc.

Aquí se muestra la falla, donde se retrae el núcleo y no está a nivel de la conectorización para hacer el empalme correcto y seguir con el haz de luz.

– Como podemos ver el núcleo o los núcleos están dentro del buffer, este núcleo es el que se adentra en el buffer y se pierde la conectividad o el lazo de fibra.

– Los costes de estas reparaciones y búsquedas de fallas son altísimos, así como la peor de las experiencias para los usuarios = a perder cliente.

Avoiding Costly Downtime: The Benefits of Investing in High-Quality Fiber Optic Cabling

When the fiber optic cable retracts internally, it loses a significant portion or all of its connection to the last fusion or connectorization point. In the worst case, there may be a complete fracture at any point along the fiber drop.

To explain it more clearly, fiber optic cables and all their components are subject to physical changes due to weather conditions or environmental factors such as humidity, cold, heat, UV rays, etc. The core loses tension on the buffer in the loose tube, which can result in a catastrophic failure that can affect 1 user or thousands of them.

  • Some brands not recognized by international standards and manufactured in India include Cablix, Policab, KEI, etc.

The image below shows the failure, where the core retracts and is not at the level of the connectorization point to make the correct splice and continue with the light beam.

  • The costs of these repairs and fault-finding are very high, as well as the worst experience for users, which can lead to losing customers.

M2M – Reactivating devices from the management platform (REACTIVAM2M)

Steps to add a REACTIVAM2M to an M2M device in the management platform (https://m2mservices.com/Admin)

These steps work for all M2M family devices that require reactivation to add their corresponding annual fee.

If the communicator is already suspended and inactive for longer than its PREPAY END DATE, the platform will display the “ACTIVATE DEVICE” option.

First, we need to search for the communicator, double-click on it, and go to the home page.

To activate it, we need to click on “ACTIVATE DEVICE.”

It will ask us if we want to add a REACTIVAM2M, to which we say yes.

We will then see another option, where we click on “voucher.”

A new window will open where we can enter the REACTIVAM2M voucher code found on the invoice.

In the invoice there will be 15 digits that would be our “Voucher Number” enter those digits

After entering, click save

Verify that the option of (ACTIVATE DEVICE) disappears.

NOTE
It is important to enter the annual voucher as soon as possible, as the reactivation code only gives you until the end of the current month to enter the annual payment. If the annual payment is not entered, the communicator will be suspended. In this case, another reactivation code must be purchased to reactivate the communicator.

How to reset a password for epcom devices?

In the following manual, we explain the process to follow so you can reset the password of epcom devices using XML.

To reset the password of an epcom brand IP camera with firmware version 5.3.0 or higher, of a DVR/NVR with firmware version 3.1.7 or higher, or of a video intercom or alarm, it is necessary to carry out the following procedure:

1.- Download and install the software SADP version 3.0.4.9 (download here).

2.- Select the device on which you want to reset the password, press the Forgot Password button (located in the lower right corner), press the “Export” button, and select the folder you want to save the exported file (XML).

3.- Email the previously generated XML file to the following email addresses: [email protected], followed by the following information:

  • Complete serial number in SADP. (Example: DS-72xxABCDXY/SN123456789ABCD123456789ABCD)
  • Full name of the applicant.
  • Customer number and billing name in SYSCOM.
  • Name of the company.
  • Phone number.

You will receive an XML file in response in order to import it. (The response may take approximately 15-20 minutes)

In case you need to reset several devices, please send an email per file with all the information.

It is necessary to send the files without compression, send the file as the software outputs it.

4.- Load the XML file in SADP, set a password of 8 characters (at least one letter and one number), confirm it, and finally press the “Confirm” button so that the password is reset.

Important notes:

  1. The password reset procedure is only valid on the same day.
  2. The device should not be restarted during the entire procedure.
  3. SADP versions 3.0.0.1 or higher support the new procedure, previous ones do not.
  4. The service hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday (Miami time)
