Initial Operation
Make sure that the door stations and cameras are using a current camera so-
ware release 4.3.0 or higher. If this is not the case, upgrade to the most recent
soware. See "Compact Guide: Firmware Update" under www.mobotix.com >
Support > Manuals > Soware > Compact Guide for more information.
The MxDisplay is delivered with the newest soware. If a new soware release
has been published in the meantime, you can update the MxDisplay soware
using a browser. To update the soware, start a browser, enter the IP address
of the MxDisplay unit (user admin, password meinsm) and then select Update
System Soware.
Connect MxDisplay
If you are using a network cable for the network connection and the power
supply of the MxDisplay, connect the network cable to the PoE switch. Switch
on the power supply. If the network connection uses WiFi and a two-wire cable
supplies the power, simply connect the two-wire cable and start conguring the
MxDisplay. Next, set up the WiFi client of the MxDisplay unit (see section Select
the WiFi Mode).

Adding a Door Station
If you have already integrated the door station, you can skip this section and
continue with the section Adding Door Stations and Cameras to MxDisplay.
Setting up the door station follows the steps outlined in Chapters 2 to 4 of the
"T25 System Manual Part 2". The T25 System Manual is available at
www.mobotix.com > Support > Manuals > IP Video Door Station.
Overview over the most important steps:
1. Power and Network
Make sure that all devices are connected to the network and that the power
supply has been established.
2. Execute Auto Conguration
Carry out the auto conguration at the door station (see Section 2.1.3 in
the "T25 System Manual Part 2"). When using several door stations, choose
one door station as a master and then carry out the auto conguration on
that door station. The auto conguration is completed by entering the
Super PIN at the access modules (KeypadRFID or BellRFID).
3. Congure Access Modules
The access modules of the system will now be set up one by one. This
includes training the RFID cards, entering the contact/people/PIN numbers
(if applicable) and conguring the bell buttons on the BellRFID modules
(see sections 2.2 and 2.3 in the "T25 System Manual Part 2").

4. Reboot the MxDisplay
Aer the auto conguration has nished, the MxDisplay will reboot auto-
matically and show the date and time view of the standby mode.

• Extend Network (AP):
The MxDisplay is connected to a DSL router (or a dierent DHCP server)
via LAN and extends the local camera network of the router by serving as
a WiFi access point. Other devices (e.g., smartphones) can use the MxDisplay
as WiFi clients to connect to the local camera network.
48
• Separate Network (AP):
The MxDisplay is connected via LAN to the local camera network (DSL router
or dierent DHCP server). At the same time, the MxDisplay serves as WiFi
access point with its own DHCP server. Mobile devices (e.g., smartphones)
can use the MxDisplay as WiFi clients to connect to the local camera network.
For this purpose, the MxDisplay forwards the connection requests to the
local network.
• Camera Gateway (Client):
The MxDisplay is connected via LAN to the local camera network. The
MxDisplay uses WiFi (as client) to provide the connection to the DSL router.
The router is connected to the Internet, but does not have a direct connected
to the camera network. If the DSL router can be reached via the Internet
from the outside (e.g., aer registering with a DynDNS service), the MxDisplay
will forward these connection requests to the cameras. Note that the DSL
router must have port forwarding enabled and congured accordingly to
forward the requests to the IP addresses of the cameras in the local network.
