IXGS-TE Telephone Entry Kit Guide
Introduction
The IXGS-TE Telephone Entry Kit includes everything needed for a telephone entry and mobile app multi-tenant
intercom system. It includes an IXG-DM7-HIDA entrance station, an IXGW-TGW cloud gateway with SIM card, and an
IXG‑DM7‑BOX flush‑mount box for the entrance station.
There are two options for configuring the equipment. The preferred method is AiphoneCloud, which grants access to
Remote Management. Remote Management allows for off‑site programming through a web interface. There is also the
option to use IXG Support Tool, a PC program that can configure the stations at the site. Both methods will be shown in
this guide.
In order to use the telephone and 4G LTE features on the IXGW-TGW, a SIM billing account must be activated. After
finishing the programming steps in this guide, be sure to follow the SIM Billing Guide, which is available at this link:

Systems programmed in IXG
Support Tool cannot be migrated to
Remote Management at this time.
