The IS-IPMV requires both network connectivity and power.
- Network Connection: Connect a CAT-5e/6 Ethernet cable from your network switch or router to the LAN port on the back of the IS-IPMV.
- Power Connection:
- PoE (Power over Ethernet): If your network switch supports 802.3af PoE, the unit will receive power directly through the Ethernet cable. No separate power adapter is needed.
- External Power Supply: If PoE is not available, connect an Aiphone PS-2420UL 24V DC power supply (sold separately) to the DC input jack on the back of the unit.
4.3 Initial Configuration
After connecting power and network, the IS-IPMV will power on. Initial network configuration (e.g., IP address assignment) and system integration with other IS series components typically require access to the unit's web interface or specialized Aiphone configuration software. Consult the Aiphone IS Series System Manual for detailed network setup and programming instructions.

6.1 Cleaning
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your IS-IPMV unit:
- Wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth.
- For stubborn dirt, lightly dampen the cloth with water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong detergents, as these can damage the flame-resisting ABS resin finish.
