Aiphone IX-SOFT PC Master Station Software | IX & IXG Series IP Intercom
Transform a compatible Windows PC into a powerful IP video intercom answering station with the Aiphone IX-SOFT PC Master Station Software. Designed for Aiphone IX and IXG Series network intercom systems, IX-SOFT provides centralized audio and video communication, visitor screening, station monitoring, paging, and remote door release directly from a computer.
With an interactive station map, built-in device diagnostics, video recording capabilities, and a transferable lifetime software license, Aiphone IX-SOFT delivers a flexible alternative to a traditional desktop intercom master station.
Aiphone IX-SOFT Software Master Station Overview
The Aiphone IX-SOFT is professional PC-based intercom software that allows authorized personnel to communicate with connected Aiphone IX and IXG Series door stations and answering stations over an IP network. Instead of dedicating valuable desk space to a separate intercom console, operators can manage entrance communications through their existing computer workstation.
Ideal for security desks, reception areas, administrative offices, and centralized building operations, this network intercom software enables operators to answer incoming calls, visually verify visitors, communicate with personnel, initiate paging, and remotely unlock connected entrances where the system is properly configured.
An intuitive graphical map simplifies system navigation, while Line Supervision and Device Check functions help administrators monitor station connectivity and identify potential communication issues.

Interactive Map for Faster Station Management
The IX-SOFT interactive map provides a visual representation of connected intercom stations, helping operators quickly locate and select the appropriate communication point.

This visual interface is especially useful in facilities with multiple entrances, buildings, or security checkpoints.
Network Monitoring, Line Supervision & Device Check
Reliable communication is essential in a commercial IP intercom installation. Aiphone IX-SOFT includes Line Supervision and Device Check functions that help operators assess connected station status and verify device operation. These tools provide valuable visibility into the intercom network and assist with identifying stations requiring attention.
