INSTALLATION

All the steps below should be carried out carefully by a competent adult, taking into consideration any applicable safety regulations. Please contact us directly or seek the advice of a competent specialist.
Please ensure that all wires used for the installation are undamaged along their entire length and approved for this type of use.

Network speed and network components
Please ensure that the upload speed of your Internet connection is at least 0.5 Mbps. The user experience is only as good as your network speed, network stability and quality  of your network components, such as your Internet Router and WiFi access points or WiFi repeaters. Please also make sure that your network components are no older than  two years old, have been manufactured by a well-known manufacturer, and have the latest firmware installed.
Should these requirements not be fulfilled, it may occur, for example that the performance of audio and video is poor or push notifications are delayed or do not arrive on your smartphone or tablet at all.

Requirements:
High-speed Internet (via landline): DSL, cable or optical fiber Network: Ethernet with DHCP

1. SWITCHING OFF POWER
   Switch off the power to all wires leading to the assembly location, i.e. the door chime, electric door opener, power supply unit for the video door station etc.

2. DETERMINING THE ASSEMBLY LOCATION
   The device is IP30 certified (not water-proof).
   Please make sure to put the device into an appropriate housing if you want to use it outdoors.
   The network cable between the device and the PoE-Switch/PoE-Injector/ Internet Router can have a maximum length of 80 meters/262 feet.

3. MOUNTING THE DEVICE
   The device can be mounted on the wall using the wall mount bracket, screws and dowels supplied with it or on DIN-Rail using the DIN-Rail adapter supplied with it.

Option 1
WALL MOUNTING
Ensure to hit no objects (e.g. cables) when drilling the holes.
|If the wall of the house is not made of wood, you should drill dowel holes 5 mm in diameter in the wall and then place the dowels provided into the boreholes. If the wall of the house is made of wood, you will usually not require any dowels. There are special dowels for assembling the device on an insulating wall, e.g. Fischer insulating dowels. Please check with your insulating material manufacturer regarding which dowels they recommend.

Option 2
DIN-RAIL MOUNTING

The device can be mounted on DIN-Rail. Use the DIN rail adapter on the back of the unit.

POWER SUPPLY

The device can be powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet) or separately available DoorBird power supplies (Wall-Plug power supply unit or DIN rail power supply). The device does not use battery power.
**** Disconnect all other DoorBird devices in the network from the power supply, before commissioning the DoorBird Internet Firewall A1051.

Option 1
POWER SUPPLY AND NETWORK CONNECTION USING POE (POWER OVER ETHERNET RECOMMENDED)
To power the device via a PoE-Switch (e.g. D-Link DGS-1008P) or PoE-Injector (e.g. DoorBird Gigabit PoE Injector A1093) in accordance with the PoE standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A, the four wires bearing the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 6 of a Cat.5 cable or better are to be used. Make sure to use a high-quality Cat.5 network cable or better and with proper shielding (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair (S/FTP or SFTP)) whereby the shield is connected to the outer metal shield of the RJ45 plug (8P8C). If you use PoE as a source of power, the four wires for PoE then simultaneously form the data link.
The device won’t start if your PoE-Switch/PoE-Injector does not support the PoE Standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A (see PWR LED).

1. **** Disconnect the PoE-Switch or PoE-Injector from the power grid.
2. Run the network cable to the installation location of the device.

Further information on PoE can be found here: http://www.doorbird.com/poe

Option 2
POWER SUPPLY USING A POWER SUPPLY UNIT (AVAILABLE IN THE DOORBIRD SHOP)
To power the device using a mains adapter, 2 insulated wires are required. The network connection is then established via a network cable. Power supplies are available in our  web shop: https://www.doorbird.com/shop
Do not plug the power supply unit into the wall socket yet. Only use the power supply unit provided along with the device, or a DIN-rail power supply unit that you can obtain from us separately, since this has been specially stabilized electrically and is equipped with an integrated audio interference reduction device. Other power supply units  may destroy the device or cause poor transmission quality.

Option 3
POWER SUPPLY USING A DIN RAIL POWER SUPPLY UNIT
We offer DIN rail power supplies in our web shop, which can be installed by a specialist. The network connection is then made via a network cable.

CONNECTING THE DEVICE

It is possible to connect the cables and wires to the device conveniently and safely via the labeled screw connection terminal. You can connect all necessary cables and wires to the device now.

OPERATION

The A1051 Internet Firewall will block all traffic that is not vital for the operation of the DoorBird System by default. However, in some use cases it might be required to  allow DoorBird components or other devices (e.g. other smart home products) on the “TO/FROM INTERCOM LAN/PoE IN” side of the device to connect to specific destinations. For that purpose, it is possible to whitelist certain IPs or hosts. Please refer to the App manual https://manual.doorbird.com/app for further information. 

To also allow a local connection to a client that is not part of the firewall network (e.g. mobile device with DoorBird App), the „Forward connected devices“ function can be activated in the Administration section of the App.

ACTIVATE THE DEVICE

**** Disconnect all other DoorBird devices in the network from the power supply, before switching on the power for the DoorBird Internet Firewall A1051.
Switch on the power leading to the assembly location. If the PWR LED does not light up, please check the power supply. When using a wall-plug power supply and not PoE,  please check whether you have connected the positive pole and negative pole to the device correctly.
As soon as the A1051 Internet Firewall is fully operational, the DoorBird components that are connected to the “TO/FROM INTERCOM LAN/PoE IN” RJ45 jack can be  powered on. If they have been already powered up before the device was fully operational, please reboot them.
Do not power the device simultaneously via the power supply from the power supply unit (mains adapter) and the power supply via PoE.
