Attach the Door Station
After the back box, all wiring, cables, and antennas
are installed, carefully insert the Door Station into the
back box and the wall:
1 Align the Door Station's top and bottom screw
holes on the faceplate with the screw holes on
the back box.
2
Use the screws provided to attach the Door
Station to the back box.
3
To prevent future moisture and dust from getting
inside the Door Station, make sure the rubber
gasket on the inside panel of the Door Station
completely covers and seals the Door Station's
faceplate against the back box.
Configure the Door Station
To configure the Door Station in Composer Pro:
1 Open Composer Pro.
2 Double-click the Door Station driver to add it to
a room in the project.
3
Identify the device to the project.
(WiFi only) For your convenience, the Door Station
driver includes a meter to check WiFi signal strength.
Use System Manager in Composer Pro to configure
the WiFi parameters. See the Composer Pro User
Guide for details.

Reset/Factory Restore the Door Station
To reset or factory restore the Door Station:
1 Unscrew the faceplate (top and bottom) and
pull the Door Station out from the back box just
enough to expose the Reset button (see Figure
2).
2
While powered press the Reset button on the
bottom of the Door Station to reset or restore
the Door Station.
• Quick press. Press to reset the Door Station.
• Long press. Press until the button on the
faceplate begins to blink rapidly. At that time, the
factory restore starts. This action restores the
Door Station to its factory default settings.
3
When you are finished, insert the Door Station
back into the back box and screw the faceplate
back on.
WiFi Antennas (Optional)
NOTE: Control4 does not recommend to install
the Door Station using WiFi. The best option is
to use Ethernet.
Two (2) types of WiFi antenna kits are available for
purchase: 26cm (dipole, best performance) or 3m
(when you need to install the wire further away from
the Door Station for a better WiFi signal).
• Antenna Kit—WiFi/ZigBee 2.4GHz, 26cm (C4-
AK-26cm, sold separately). Recommended for
walls that do not have thick concrete or metal.
See Figure 9 and "WiFi Antenna Kit Installation"
for details.
• Antenna Kit—WiFi/ZigBee 2.4GHz, 3m (C4-AK-
3M, sold separately). Extend the range when
walls have thick concrete or metal. See Figure 10
and "WiFi Antenna Kit Installation" for details.
