Connection to LAN

Connect 2N® IP Video Kit to the LAN using an RJ-45 terminated UTP/STP cable (of category Cat 5e or higher). As the device is equipped with the Auto-MDIX function, you can use either the straight or crossed cable version.

2N® IP Video Kit is equipped with LAN interface (LAN1) and an integrated Ethernet switch. You can use only LAN1 interfaces for LAN connection. LAN1 is the only interface provided with PoE. LAN2 helps connect another LAN device on the installation site. This interface is not equipped with PoE. (This applies only to HW revision 568v1).

Note

  • 2N® IP Video Kit does not allow you to feed another connected device via PoE. The integrated PoE function is intended for the
    2N® IP Video Kit supply only.

Caution

  • We recommend the use of a LAN surge protection.
  • We recommend the use of a shielded SSTP Ethernet cable.

Connection of External Power Supply

2N® IP Video Kit can be supplied either from an external 9–36 V / 2 A DC source or directly from the LAN provided with the PoE 802.3af supporting network elements.

 

External Power Supply

Connect the external 12V power supply to the DC in terminals. Use safety low-voltage voltage (SELV, 9–36 V) dimensioned for the minimum current consumption of 1.5 A (Part No. 91341481E, e.g.) to make your device work correctly.

 

PoE Supply

2N® IP Video Kit is compatible with the PoE 802.3af technology (Class 0 – 12.95 W) and can be supplied directly from the LAN via compatible network elements. If your LAN lacks such compatible elements, you can insert a PoE injector, Part No. 91758100E, between your 2N® IP Video Kit and the nearest network element. Connect your 2N® IP Video Kit to the LAN via the LAN1 interface to supply it successfully.

Caution

  • In case you feed your 2N® IP Video Kit via PoE or from a limited-power external power supply, monitor the power consumption of the whole system. With regard to the PoE 802.3af capacities and efficiency of the switched-mode power supplies in the device, the maximum possible device input is approximately 12 W. An overload of the PoE source usually results in PoE disconnection and, subsequently,
    2N® IP Video Kit restart.
  • The 2N® IP Video Kit consumption at relax (power amplifier inactive, no load switched on LED1–3 and OUT1–2 outputs) is up to 2 W.
  • The maximum power amplifier consumption is determined by the current loudspeaker volume level and impedance (up to 10 W for a 4 Ω loudspeaker). The real consumption is typically lower and depends on the characteristics of the signal to be amplified.
  • If you intend to connect a considerable load to the OUT1 and OUT2 outputs, make sure that the total input does not exceed the above mentioned limit (12 W for PoE). If the PoE supply fails to provide sufficient power for the specific application, use a more powerful external source to make your device work perfectly.

Connection of LED Indicators

2N® IP Video Kit is equipped with three independent current LED control outputs (LED1+, LED2+ and LED3± terminals). All of them are current outputs (20 mA, up to 12 V). LEDs with IF >= 20 mA can be connected directly, in the opposite case a ballast resistor with resistance R = (12 - UF) / IF is necessary. Mind the polarity while connecting the LEDs to make your device work properly.

The functions of the LED1, LED2 and LED3 outputs are programmable. 

Connection of Keypad/Buttons

2N® IP Video Kit is equipped with an interface for connection of an external matrix keypad or up to 16 separate buttons; see the figure below:

The buttons are connected in a 4×4 matrix to the ROW1–4 (output) and COL1–4 (inputs) terminals. If you do not make use of all of the 16 buttons, you can leave some of the ROW and COL signals unconnected. If you need one button only, connect it to the ROW1 and COL4 terminals.

The button function is programmable. You can set the numerical keypad buttons to any matrix position (0 to 9, *, #) or configure one of the 16 buttons for dialling a telephone directory position.

Caution

  • Errors such as false keystroke detection may occur in installations with strong EMI. Therefore, make sure that the keypad or button cables are carried in a trunk separated from the power cables and are as short as possible (up to 1 m).

Connection of External Loudspeaker

2N® IP Video Kit is equipped with an integrated 10 W power amplifier of class D. The amplifier output is available on the SPEAKER+ and SPEAKER− terminals. 
The maximum power is achievable with a 4 Ω loudspeaker only. The higher the loudspeaker impedance, the lower the maximum power output; refer to the table below:

 

Loudspeaker impedance

Maximum power (at +20 dB)

4 Ω (min)

10 W

8 Ω

5 W

16 Ω

2.5 W

32 Ω

1.2 W

64 Ω

0.6 W

Caution

  • Never connect a loudspeaker with impedance lower than 4 Ω to avoid system damage.
  • Never exceed the maximum power output designated for the loudspeaker to avoid loudspeaker destruction. Choose a loudspeaker with proper impedance and maximum power values, or limit the maximum volume level in the device configuration.
  • Use an external power supply to maximise the power output. Make sure that the maximum Master volume value is +6 dB in the Hardware / Audio menu if you use PoE and 4Ω speaker.

Connection of External Microphone

2N® IP Video Kit is equipped with an input for connection of an external electret microphone on the MIC+ and MIC− terminals. Shielding of the shielded cable is connected to the IN- terminal.

Caution

  • Undesired noise may be heard in the earphone where EMI affects the microphone signal. To avoid this, connect the microphone using a shielded cable of the minimum possible length.

Connection of External Amplifier

2N® IP Video Kit is equipped with a line output for connection of an external power amplifier on the LINE OUT+ and LINE OUT- terminals.

Connection of External Audio Source

2N® IP Video Kit is equipped with a line input for connection of an external audio signal source (FM tuner, MP3 player, e.g.) on the LINE IN+ and LINE IN- terminals. 

Connection to Relay Output

 is equipped with one galvanically isolated relay switch with N/O and N/C contacts on the NC, NO and COM terminals. The relay function is programmable.

Warning

  • Do not exceed the voltage and current limits for the load connected to the relay contacts as specified in the technical parameters of the device to avoid device damage.

Connection to Digital Outputs

2N® IP Video Kit is equipped with two active 12 V / 600 mA outputs on the OUT1± and OUT2± terminals. The outputs are overload and short-circuit resistant.

Warning

When you connect a device containing a coil, such as a relay or an electromagnetic lock, it is necessary to protect the intercom against voltage peak while switching off the induction load. For this way of protection we recommend a diode 1 A / 1000 V (e.g., 1N4007, 1N5407, 1N5408) connected antiparallel to the device.

Reset Button

Located among the main unit connectors, the Reset button helps you reset the factory default values, restart the device, find the device IP address and switch the static/dynamic mode.

  • The device automatically announces the current IP address.

Note

  • The delay after pressing RESET till the first light and sound signalling is set to 15–35 s depending on the 2N IP intercom/answering unit model used.
    • 18 s is the valid value for 2N® IP Video Kit.

Static IP Address Setting

Follow the instructions below to switch on the Static IP address mode (DHCP OFF):

Caution

  • In case of resetting the factory default settings on a device with a version of firmware 2.18 or higher it is necessary to reprogram the
    2N® Security Relay using the instructions from section 2.4.

Device Restart

Press the RESET button shortly (< 1 s) to restart the system without changing configuration.

Note

  • The time interval between the short press of RESET and reconnection after restart is 22 s for 2N® IP Video Kit.


Connection to Digital Inputs

2N® IP Video Kit is equipped with two digital inputs on the IN1± and IN2± terminals. The digital inputs recognise the following two logic levels: log. 0 for voltage under 1.1 V a log. 1 for voltage over 3 V. Keep the voltage polarity to make the function work properly. The function is programmable for either input. 

Camera connection

2N® IP Video Kit is equipped with two video inputs for analog camera with composite PAL or NTSC signal. Output from camera connects to VIDEO VGND and VIDEO IN1/IN2 sockets. 2N® IP Video Kit automatically detects signal format. If the attached camera has no own power supply, it can be supplied from 2N® IP Video Kit from VIDEO +12 V and VIDEO VGND sockets.
