SETTING THE SYSTEM
SYSTEM SETTING FLOW
First of all, make the network settings. The network setting method differs according to the network environment. Select the fl ow 
suitable for your network environment from the chart below, and start the network settings after you fully understand it. After the 
network settings are fi nished, make the other individual system settings. See P. 18-36 for the system setting details.
NOTE:
The system settings should be made mainly on the IP host unit in the system (in a site). You select one as the IP host unit among the IP units 
connected to the system and others as the IP client units. (A PC master station (IS-SOFT) cannot be used as the IP host unit.)
First select the  Flow 1,  Flow 2 or  Flow 3 from the chart below, then start the network settings by 
following the selected fl ow.
Do you have a DHCP server (or router that 
has a DHCP server function) in the network, 
and does it have an automatic IP address-
assigning function?
If you communicate with remote sites (calling, call transferring, paging, etc.), make the remote site connection settings  (→P. 15) 
after the network settings for your site have fi nished.

NOTE:
If you connect a PC master station (IS-SOFT) to the network, install the software (IS-SOFT) to a PC before connecting it to the network.
(*1): UPnP may not function normally depending on the router. Refer to [System log]→[UPnP operation check result] (→P. 37) on the 
IP host unit. If the [System log] window shows that UPnP is not functioning normally, the UPnP function of the router cannot be 
used with this system. In that case, set [UPnP] to OFF at [Network setting: Common] (→P. 19) and then make settings on the 
router again by confi rming the settings at [IP unit registration] (→P. 22). See http://www.aiphone.net/ for the router to which the 
operartion check has fi nished and setting examples.
(*2): If the DHCP server (or router that has a DHCP server function) has a function to assign a static IP address to a specifi ed MAC 
address, you can make the DHCP server assign the IP addresses to all the IP units automatically.
(→ 
Flow 3 (All units: IP addresses are assigned by the DHCP server automatically) (P. 14))
(*3): Set [UPnP] to ON at [Network setting: Common] (→P. 19) (Default: ON).
(*4): Set [UPnP] to OFF at [Network setting: Common] (→P. 19) (Default: ON).
