Connecting to Wi-Fi

This section walks through the process of connecting the Dinger Doorstation to a wireless network. The device must first be initialized and accessed over Ethernet before Wi-Fi can be configured. Once connected, the doorbell can operate without a wired network connection.

Connect and Initialize

1. Connect the doorbell to the network using PoE/Ethernet.

2. Open ConfigTool.

3. Locate the device.

4. If it shows Uninitialized, select it and click Initialize.

5. Create and save the admin password.

Log In to the Device

1. In the ConfigTool, note the device’s IP address.

2. Open a web browser and enter the IP address. Alternatively, you can click the Web button.

3. Log in:

   • Username: admin

   • Password: (password you created)

Note: The device may ask you to select your region before seeing the login screen.

Open Network Settings & Connect to Wi-FI

1. After logging in, click Network Settings.

2. Click Wi-Fi in the left menu.

3. Turn Wi-Fi ON.

4. Locate your wireless network.

5. Click the ➕ (Plus) icon in the Connect column. 

6. Enter your Wi-Fi password and then click Connect.

7. Wait until the status shows Connected.

Note: The Connected column will show a different icon if your WiFi is already connected. You may need to leave the page and come back for it to show a connected status.

Verify Connection

1. Unplug the Ethernet cable.

2. Refresh ConfigTool.

3. Confirm the device remains online with the WLAN IP address

4. Log in using the new IP address if needed or use the Command Prompt to ping the IP address

Troubleshooting

In some cases, the doorbell may fail to connect to Wi-Fi if the WLAN and LAN interfaces are on the same network segment. When this happens, the device may return an error or fail to complete the connection.

If this occurs, follow the steps below.

Move the LAN Interface to a Different Network

1. Log in to the device web interface.

2. Go to Network Settings → TCP/IP.

3. Set NIC to LAN.

4. Turn DHCP OFF.

5. Assign a static IP on an unused network range, for example:

IP Address:  192.168.99.32
Subnet:      255.255.255.0
Gateway:     192.168.99.1

6. Click Apply

Reconnect to Wi-Fi

1. After the LAN interface is on a different network, refresh the page and confirm that WLAN is listed as the default card.

2. Confirm that WLAN is now listed as the default network interface.

3. Verify the status shows Connected within the Wi-Fi menu

4. Attempt to log into the IPMX-DB20-IRW1 by typing in the WLAN IP address

Important Notes

• These devices support 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only. 5 GHz networks are not compatible.

• Ensure adequate signal strength at the installation location.

• Ensure correct power is being applied. These devices use 12–33 VDC, 1A power which is less common than AC doorbells.
