The DCS-TC gateway is the connection between the door communication system and an analogue telephone or an existing telephone system. The DCS-IP gateway is the IP network interface used, for example, to integrate an external IP camera and the Gira HomeServer into the TCS system or to enable forwarding to mobile Android or iOS end devices. Further functions are described in the technical documentation available in our download section here.
You can establish a connection between the door communication system bus and the existing (ISDN) telephone system or router (e.g. Fritzbox) with similar connections or a similar exchange connection via the TC gateway.
Please note that the programming set with item no. 1291 00 is required in all cases when connecting to the router. This is necessary in order to programme special characters (that are necessary to dial into the router) into the DCS-TC gateway.
