NETWORK CONNECTION OPTIONS
You can connect the device to the network by either using a WiFi 2.4 GHz connection (only for D1101V and
D1102V) or a network cable.
OPTION 1
Network cable
(recommended, maintenance free)
OPTION 2
WiFI 2.4 GHz
(only for D1101V and D1102V)
Install a network cable (which is plugged into a
network switch / router with Internet access) from
the inside of your building to the assembly location.
The network cable between the assembly location
and the network switch / router can have a maximum
length of 80 m/262 ft (IEEE 802.3). If you must span a
distance of more than 80 meters/262 feet you can put
a network switch in between.
If you have only two wires available at
the assembly location, you may use the
“DoorBird 2-Wire Ethernet PoE Converter
A1071”, sold separately. It allows you to
transfer network data (Ethernet) and power
(PoE) with a simple two-wire cable over long
distances. For example, existing buildings
with a simple two-wire bell wire can be
equipped with network technology without
having to retrofit any network cables.
For reasons of network stability, we
principally recommend using a network
cable, as WiFi is sensitive to interference
(range, house walls acting as shields,
reliability of performance, third party WiFi
networks, wireless transmitters causing
interference in the area, etc.).
When using WiFi please make sure you have a good
WiFi signal at the assembly location of the device.
You can increase the WiFi signal by using so called
“WiFi repeaters”, which can boost your WiFi signal.
You should install such a WiFi repeater close to the
assembly location of the device, typically inside your
home and close to the device.
