5. Akuvox devices require an IP address to function.

     a. This requires devices to be connected to a lan with a router or dhcp server. If you are planning on using Akuvox in a closed network with only a switch, then each devices will need to have a static ip manually configured before launch.

6. Door Locks.

     a. You will need a basic understanding of how different types of electronic door locks function and how they need to be wired in. All electronic door locks require a power source to operate.

A basic understanding of "Normally Open/ Closed and Common contacts of a Relay" will help make for a smooth installation.
