Using the software

Answering a call

On receipt of a call from an external unit, in the case of a master monitor (max 1 per apartment) and up to 3 slave monitors, the image from the external unit is automatically displayed on the monitor; in the case of a slave monitor, meanwhile, from the 4th to the 15th, the device only displays an indication that a call has been received from the external unit (because the maximum number of devices with video is 4). You can acquire the video signal from a slave monitor without replying to the call, by clicking

Advanced settings
  • Assign a ViP address to the software.

VIP   address: Each system device must be programmed with a different code, called the ViP address. The ViP address is an 8-digit code identifying each extension and can be entered as desired, without following any pre-set sequence. However, we recommend using a logic diagram to keep track of the addresses entered.
A logic diagram (optional) for entering the ViP address is provided below.

Example: Building/staircase/floor/apartment 01041156 • 00021022 • 01001223 • 01030009 • 00000012

Select either “Master” or “Slave 1/…/15”.
Master: by Master we mean the main monitor in an apartment. Every Master monitor in the system must have a different VIP code. The Master monitor manages all external unit /switchboard / intercom calls. It is essential that, in an apartment, one of the monitors is set as a Master.

Slave: by Slave we mean one or more secondary monitors (MAX. 15) in an apartment. Every Slave has the same ViP address as the Master monitor, but is identified with a unique number to differentiate it from the other slave monitors.

For Kit 8501, 8501HIM, 8501I, 8501IM, 8501U, 8503, 8504 and 8504H, the ViP ad- dress is set to 00000001 “Master” by default.
