Video Intercom Deployment Best Practices
Video intercom devices require exact network and programming information entered at each interface in order for the devices to function as expected.
Before attempting the guide on this page it is useful to collect all the information from each device - VTH, VTO, and DSS Express. This will be useful as a reference when entering the different device information at each device.
For example building a spreadsheet like this would be recommended:
DSS Express (DSS4004-S2) Device
