INTRODUCTION
The IS system is a video security communication system especially designed for applications in facilities such as office buildings,
factories, schools, hospitals, and prisons. This product is an application to be installed in a PC to use it as a PC master station in the
IS system. The PC master station can be used almost as the same as other IP master stations adding some unique functions.
PRECAUTIONS
General precautions
Notices
We will under no conditions be liable for damage that occurs due
to failures in network equipment; failures due to internet providers
and cell phone companies; failures such as disconnected lines and
other losses in communication, which render it impossible to provide
this service or in any way delay this service due to causes outside
of our responsibility; or if an error or missing data occurs during
transmission.
•
1. For wiring, specify CAT5e straight cable.
2. Due to the environmental sound around the unit, it may hinder
smooth communication, but this is not a malfunction.
3. The outline of video images displayed by video door station may
differ from that of the actual person(s) or background, but this is
not a malfunction.
4. Aiphone assumes no responsibility for corruption of saved
information (such as changes to or deletion of saved information).
Please be aware of this in advance.
We will under no conditions be liable for damage caused if a
customer's password or transmitted information are leaked through
bugging or unlawful computer access over Internet communication.
•
•
5. Warm-color lighting shining on the door station may change the
tint of the picture on the monitor.
We will under no conditions be liable for damage that occurs due
to the inability to communicate due to malfunctions, problems, or
operational errors in this product.
We will under no conditions be liable for any damages or losses
resulting from this product's contents or specifications.

Notes on using this product
Lip-sync is not performed for audio and video in the PC master
station.
This manual was created by Aiphone Co., Ltd., all rights reserved.
Copying a part of or this entire manual without prior permission from

•
•
•
•
Depending on the network environment and computer, it may not be
useable.
Please note that images depicted in this manual may differ from the
actual images.
•
•
•
•
There are times when audio and video may be delayed in the PC
master station due to encoding, decoding, or the network.
Please note that this manual may be revised or changed without
prior notice.
Depending on the network environment or the computer's
performance, operations may not be carried out normally, such as
interrupted audio or video, and delayed frame rate decrease.
Please note that product specifications may be changed for the sake
of improvement without prior notice.
When operating PC master station in succession, the operation may
become invalid.
Please be aware that it is the customer's responsibility to ensure that
their computer is secure. We will under no conditions be liable for
security failures.

•
•
The times for the system and the PC master station are not
synchronized.
This system is not intended for life support or crime prevention. It is
just a supplementary means of conveying information. Aiphone will
under no conditions be liable for loss of life or property which occurs
while the system is being operated.
•
•
We recommend a 100BASE-TX wired LAN network.
Notes on communication
When the PC master station is initialized, all the registrations are
returned to factory default settings. Follow the setup procedure for
the PC master station again.
When communicating via the PC master station, use a commercially
available headset or commercially available handset to prevent
feedback. When using a headset or handset, the call tone does not
sound from the computer's speaker. Confirm the call by the headset
(or handset) or the screen display.
•
•
During communication, if you speak before the other person
has finished talking, your voice may not come through clearly.
Communication will proceed smoothly if you wait until the other
person has finished before speaking.
If there are loud noises (such as children crying, music playing, or
strong winds) around the computer or the door station, the sound
may break up and be difficult to hear.
•
•
A hands-free (VOX) system has been implemented for
communication. Even if you use a headset or handset with the PC
master station, you cannot carry out simultaneous conversations.
(Communication is not full duplex.)
The talk and call tone volumes vary depending on the PC master
station settings, computer settings, and headset or handset volume.
Pay careful attention to the volume when monitoring or talking.

RECEIVING AND ANSWERING A CALL ON THE PC MASTER STATION
The following describes the communication method using a PC master station.
*
When receiving a call from a remote site, the operation methods are the same as described below, however it may take a longer
time for some operations and their responses. For example, there may be a time difference between a call starting at a remote site
and the call tone ringing on the target (PC) master station in your site.
