Calling the Door Speaker From Inside the Building

Your PBX must be capable of relaying the hook-flash from the station set to the trunk port.

To initiate a call to the door in the Trunk Saver mode, the person within the building simply takes the telephone off-hook, accesses the trunk connected to the AT&T Door Phone Controller, and hook-flashes the telephone within the first

5 seconds. At this point, there will be direct two-way communication from within the building to the door speaker.

To initiate a call to the door in the Port Saver mode, the person within the building simply takes the telephone off-hook, accesses the trunk connected to the AT&T Door Phone Controller, and dials “1” within the first 4 seconds. At this point, there will be direct two-way communication from within the building to the door speaker. (Alternatively, the person may dial a “9” within the first 4 seconds after accessing the trunk in order to be immediately connected to the C.O. line.)

Telephone Line In Use When a Visitor Presses Door Speaker Button

Once the doorbell push button is pressed, you can "Hook- Flash" to the door speaker and then back to the original call only once, unless the push button is pressed again.

If you forget to hook-flash back to the original call, the AT&T Door Phone Controller will call you back.

If a visitor presses the door speaker button while an existing call is already taking place on the line, the AT&T Door Phone Controller will generate a “door alert” signal to indicate a visitor needs attention at the entrance. The person using the line can hook-flash the phone and be in direct two-way communication to the door speaker. The other party will be placed on hold. At this point, normal AT&T Door Phone Controller functions can take place. When the door phone functions have been completed, i.e., door has been remotely opened, hook-flashing phone again (or pressing 9) will return line to original call. This feature operates much like a call-waiting function.
