IP Call Box Installation Guide

Installation
- Carefully separate the front baffle from the back box and use the back box to mark installation location. Holes on front sides will align as shown when in correct vertical orientation.
- Run network cable (CAT5 or better) to installation location and into cable access port, terminate end, leaving 6” slack inside box. If concerned with line performance, see AND Tech Support at [email protected] for a ferrite. Wrap the last 20” of cable around ferrite twice and clamp shut. Allow ferrite to sit outside of the device.
- Ground box per local building codes using green ground screw in back box where required.
- Secure back box using mounting hardware appropriate for installation surface:
- Drywall: #8-32 steel screw x 1-5/8" min. length fastened to a 75 lbs. rated drywall anchor, or similar.
- Concrete: #8-32 steel screw x 5/8" min. length fastened to an 8-32 concrete anchor with 9/16" min. length, or similar.
- Connect network cable to PoE/PoE+ labeled jack on ANetD module in front baffle. Make sure the network connector snaps into the metal connector receptacle on the module, such that it won’t disconnect when gently pulled.
- Insert front baffle at an angle to the right side first to ensure cables clear the back box. Baffle will align itself to the back box via two side posts.
- Secure front baffle to back box using 4 security screws and pin-in-Torx driver bit, included.*
- Connect the other end of the network cable to an LPS (Limited Power Source) PoE (Power over Ethernet) network switch or PoE injector on a network with a DHCP server.
NOTE: ANetD products require an IEEE 802.3af/at/bt compatible switch or injector to correctly classify and supply the power needed for our devices. Use of non-standard PoE powering schemes (such as 24V passive PoE) may cause damage and void your warranty.
*Note: ANetD designed the IP Call Box with tamper-proof features, including vandal-resistant screws and tamper alert hardware that can detect and trigger an alert notification whenever a tamper attempt opens the box. Nevertheless, for door control applications, to ensure the highest level of security, ANetD recommends you install the IP Call Box only within a secure and/or indoor setting, as it is not completely uncompromisable.
