(External Video Door Station) When attaching the Cisco Video Door Station's faceplate to the Back
Note
Box, ensure that the rubber gasket on the inside panel completely covers and seals the Cisco Video
Door Station's faceplate to the Back Box; otherwise, water could leak through.
Determine which network and power options to use.
The Cisco Video Door Stations can use Ethernet or Wi-Fi network connection and can be powered using
Power over Ethernet (PoE), AC, or DC. We recommend using a wired network connection for the best video
intercom experience.
See the
"Understanding the Power and Network Connection Options" section on page 7
information.
Review the additional requirements and limitations for Wi-Fi networks.

Before the Cisco Video Door Station is fully installed, we recommend to test the Wi-Fi signal strength
in Composer Pro's System Manager; a strong, robust signal is required. See the
