Device Network Configuration
To ensure normal functioning, make sure that the device has its IP address set correctly or obtained automatically from the DHCP server.
On the Device
Check and configure the network connection on the device Settings > Advance Settings > Network screen.

IP Type: DHCP mode is the default network connection. The device will be assigned by the DHCP server with an IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server address automatically. In static IP mode, the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server address have to be manually configured according to the actual network environment.
IP Address: The IP address when the static IP mode is selected.
Subnet Mask: The subnet mask should be set up according to the actual network environment.
Gateway: The gateway should be set up according to the IP address.
DNS Type: Domain Name Server(DNS) type.
DDNS: Dynamic DNS. It is obtained automatically through the DHCP server.
Static DNS: When selected, you need to enter the DNS manually.
Preferred & Alternate DNS Server: The preferred and alternate Domain Name Server(DNS). The preferred DNS server is the primary DNS address while the alternate DNS server is the secondary one. The device will connect to the alternate server when the primary server is unavailable.
Note
You can press System Info, and then press Network on the Settings screen to check device network status.
The default code to enter advanced settings is 123456.
On the Web Interface
Check the network on the web Status > Network Information interface.
Check and configure the network connection on the web Network > Basic > LAN Port interface.
IP Type:
DHCP mode will enable the indoor monitor to be assigned by the DHCP server with IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS address automatically.
Static IP allows you to enter the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS address manually according to the actual network environment.
IP Address: The IP address when the static IP mode is selected.
Subnet Mask: The subnet mask should be set up according to the actual network environment.
Default Gateway: The gateway should be set up according to the IP address.
DNS Type: Domain Name Server(DNS) type.
DDNS: Dynamic DNS. It is obtained automatically through the DHCP server.
Static DNS: When selected, you need to enter the DNS manually.
Preferred/Alternate DNS Server: The preferred and alternate Domain Name Server(DNS). The preferred DNS server is the primary DNS address while the alternate DNS server is the secondary one. The device will connect to the alternate server when the primary server is unavailable.
Device Deployment in Network
To facilitate device control and management, configure Akuvox intercom devices with details such as location, operation mode, address, and extension numbers.
Deploy the device in the network on the web Network > Advanced > Connect Setting interface.
Connect Mode: You can set up the connect mode according to the device connection with a specific server in the network such as SDMC, Cloud, or None. None is the default factory setting indicating the device is not in any server type.
Discovery Mode: With discovery mode enabled, the device can be discovered by other devices in the network. Uncheck the box if you want to conceal the device.
Control4 Mode: Enable this option for integration with the Control4 smart home.
Device Node: Specify the device address by entering device location info from the left to the right: Community, Building, Unit, Floor, and Room in sequence.
Device Extension: The device extension number for the device you installed.
Device Location: The location in which the device is installed and used.
Device NAT Setting
Network Address Translation(NAT) lets devices on a private network use a single public IP address to access the internet or other public networks. NAT saves the limited public IP addresses and hides the internal IP addresses and ports from the outside world.
To register SIP accounts on third-party servers in a Wide Area Network(WAN), you need to enable the RPort feature on the intercom devices to establish a stable connection.
To set up NAT, go to Account> Basic > NAT interface.
Stun Server Address: Set the SIP server address in the Wide Area Network(WAN).
Port: Set the SIP server port.
Then go to Account > Advanced > NAT interface.
RPort: Enable the RPort when the SIP server is in WAN for the SIP account registration.
Device Web HTTP Setting
This function manages device website access. The device supports two remote access methods: HTTP and HTTPS (encryption).
Set it up on the Network > Advanced > Web Server interface.
HTTPS Port: Set the HTTPS port within the valid range.
Device Wi-Fi Setting
Set the Wi-Fi on the device Settings > Advance Settings > Wi-Fi screen.
.bmp)
Set As DHCP Server: Use the Wi-Fi as the DHCP server.
VLAN Setting
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a logical group of nodes from the same IP domain, regardless of their physical network segment. It separates the layer 2 broadcast domain via switches or routers, sending tagged packets only to ports with matching VLAN IDs. Utilizing VLANs enhances security by limiting ARP attacks to specific hosts and improves network performance by minimizing unnecessary broadcast frames, thereby conserving bandwidth for increased efficiency.
Set it up on the Network > Advanced > VLAN Setting interface. You can also set it up on the Settings > Advance Settings > Network screen.
Priority: VLAN Priority lets you assign a priority to outbound packets containing the specified VLAN-ID (VID). Packets containing the specified VID are marked with the priority level configured for the VID classifier.
VLAN ID: The same VLAN ID as the switch or router.
