3.1 Configuration

Configuration takes place typically via a Web interface. Alternatively, it is possible to configure using the software 2N® Access Commander or service My2N. Configuration via the web interface can be accessed as follows:

  • Launch your internet browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.).
  • Enter the IP address of your intercom (http://192.168.1.100/, e.g.).
  • Log in using the username Admin and password 2n.

You have to know your intercom IP address to log in to the integrated web server. Upon purchase, 2N® IP Base is set to the dynamic IP address mode – it retrieves the IP address automatically if there is a properly configured DHCP server in the LAN. If no DHCP is available, operate 2N® IP Base in the static IP address mode (in default state adress http://192.168.1.100). 

If you do not know the IP address of the device it is also possible to use the
2N® Network Scanner, which can find the 2N IP intercom, 2N® Access Unit and
2N® IndoorTouch in your network. You can find in section 3.6 Downloads.

If your device remains inaccessible (you have forgotten the IP address, the network configuration has changed, etc.), you can change the network configuration using the device buttons.

Refer to the  Configuration manual for 2N IP intercoms for the 2N® IP Base configuration details. 

IP Address Retrieval

Take the following steps to retrieve the 2N® IP Base IP address:

  • Connect (or, if connected, disconnect and reconnect) 2N® IP Base to the power supply.
  • Wait for the second sound signal .
  • Press the quick dial button on the main unit 5 times.
  • 2N® IP Base will read its IP address.
  • If the address is 0.0.0.0, it means that the intercom has not obtained the IP address from the DHCP server



Note

  • Be sure to press the button sequence within thirty seconds after the sound signal for security reasons. Up to 2 s intervals are allowed between the presses.

Dynamic/Static IP Address Switching

Take the following steps to switch the dynamic and static IP address mode in 
2N® IP Base:

  • Connect (or, if connected, disconnect and reconnect) 2N® IP Base to the power supply.
  • Wait for the first sound signal .
  • Press the quick dial button on the main unit 15 times.
  • Network parameter reset and DHCP switch are signaled by the  sound.
  • For devices with FW versions 2.33 and lower, wait until the device is automatically restarted.
    • After restart, the static IP address mode is switched into the dynamic IP address and vice versa.
  • Simultaneously, all the System / Network parameters are reset to default values. This is useful where it is impossible to connect to the device due to wrong VPN configuration, for example.

 


The following network parameters will be set after the static IP address mode is switched on and the device is restarted:

  • IP address: 192.168.1.100
  • Network mask: 255.255.255.0
  • Default gateway: 192.168.1.

Note

  • Be sure to press the button sequence within thirty seconds after the sound signal for security reasons. Up to 2 s intervals are allowed between the presses.

Firmware Upload

We also recommend you to update your intercom firmware upon the first login to the intercom. Use the device web interface in the System > Maintenance > System configuration section for firmware upgrade (see Configuration manual for 2N IP intercoms). Refer to 2N.com for the latest firmware version. The device restarts automatically after the upgrade is completed successfully. The whole process takes almost one minute.
