Introduction

The Model AE-100 Commercial Telephone Entry System is designed for use as an access control device for small apartments or gated communities with up to 125 residents. The system can be used in a lobby or outside. Surface, recessed, and pedestal mounting options are supported. The system utilizes hands-free, full duplex telephone communications between visitors and residents for granting access.

Housed in a locked, rugged stainless steel faced enclosure, the AE-100 features a lighted 12-key telephone style keypad and four operation buttons all with bright, easy-to-see graphics. The backlit two-line directory LCD display scrolls a programmable welcome message and shows the directory Names and Directory Codes. The system contains a built-in microphone, tamper resistant speaker, and a TTY connector for the hearing impaired.

Multi-lingual display programming prompts and voice help is available with a choice of English, Spanish, French-Canadian, or Portuguese language selection for the system. The system can be programmed locally using the keypad, or remotely with a touch tone telephone.

Instruction manuals and other support documents in Spanish, French-Canadian, and Portuguese are available on the Linear Web site’s AE-100 product page at www.linearcorp.com.

Optional features that the AE-100 supports are provisions for postal lock and color CCTV camera installation.

Operation

In a typical installation, the unit’s memory is programmed with each resident’s Directory Code, Name, Telephone Number, and Entry Code. Arriving visitors use the or keys to view the Name and Directory Code for the desired resident. Upon entering the Directory Code, or pressing the button, the AE-100 will automatically dial the resident’s Telephone Number and establish two-way voice communication between the visitor and the resident. The resident will then have the option to grant or deny access to the visitor by pressing a digit on their telephone. Residents simply enter their Entry Code for access.

In addition to the telephone entry, the AE-100 can grant access at the keypad using up to 125 Stand-alone Entry Codes not assigned to residents (each Stand-alone Entry Code used reduces the number of available Directory Entries by one).

For ADA compliance for the hearing impaired, a visitor can connect their TTY device to the jack in the face of the system. The visitor will be able to use their TTY device to communicate with the resident’s TTY device during the telephone call.

Database Overview

Programming the AE-100 involves entering installation information into the system’s memory. The system uses this information as a reference “database” to control the operation of the system.

Resident Directory Data

Up to 125 resident Names, Telephone Numbers, and Entry Codes can be set. Each resident entry is assigned a Directory Code. Directory Codes can be two or three digits in length (all will be the same length). The Directory Code is the number a visitor would enter to have the system call the resident (the resident currently displayed can also be contacted using

the button). Each resident data entry also includes the resident’s Telephone Number and a unique Entry Code for that resident.

RESIDENT DIRECTORY DATA (UP TO 125 RESIDENTS)

FOR EACH RESIDENT: DIRECTORY CODE (2 OR 3 DIGITS) NAME (UP TO 16 CHARACTERS) TELEPHONE # (UP TO 14 DIGITS)

ENTRY CODE (4 DIGITS)

Stand-alone Entry Code Data

Up to 125 Stand-alone Entry Codes (“Entry Codes” are called “Access Codes when using the alternate programming method) that are not assigned to a resident’s directory listing can be set. These types of Entry Codes are useful for service and maintenance personnel. Each

Stand-alone Entry Code programed reduces the available number of resident directory entries by one. Stand-alone Entry Codes are four digits in length. When a Stand-alone Entry Code is entered at the keypad, it will activate the access relay.

STAND-ALONE ENTRY CODE DATA (UP TO 125 CODES)

FOR EACH CODE: STAND-ALONE ENTRY CODE (4 DIGITS)

NOTE: EACH STAND ALONE ENTRY CODE REDUCES THE

AVAILABLE NUMBER OF RESIDENT DIRECTORY ENTRIES BY ONE
