Doorphone Extension (#604 and #605)

Description

Each of these System Programming procedures identifies an extension to which a doorphone is connected. A doorphone is usually placed near an entrance, to screen visitors. You can connect up to two doorphones to the system—use Doorphone 1 Extension (#604) to identify the extension to which the first doorphone is connected and Doorphone 2 Extension (#605) to identify the extension to which the second doorphone is connected.

NOTE:

Doorphones should not be connected to an Enhanced Tip Ring only port since doorphones rely on receiving a forward disconnect signal to disconnect a call. Connect doorphones to Tip Ring ports, which are the bottom two ports of any processor or 362EC expansion module. If a Tip Ring device is connected to an Enhanced Tip Ring only port, a forward disconnect signal is not sent and ringing is not heard at that port.

Related Features

You must use Doorphone Alert Extensions (#606) to identify the extensions that are signaled when the doorphone button is pressed. Each doorphone can signal any number of alert extensions.

To prevent outside calls from being made or received on the doorphone, use Line Assignment (#301) to remove all outside lines and/or Pool Extension Assignment (#314) to remove all pools from the doorphone extension. (Automatic Line Selection for the doorphone extension will be automatically set to select intercom lines first.)

You can use Message Light On with the doorphone (for example, the doorphone’s light flashes to signal a delivery person.

Considerations

An extension cannot be used for a doorphone and a hotline at the same time. However, hotlines and doorphones can have the same alert extensions.

Remove voice messaging system mailboxes from doorphone extensions.

You cannot bridge two doorphones together.

A PARTNER MAIL VS module should be installed in the last slot to prevent incorrect numbering of the doorphone extensions.

Valid Entries

One of the bottom two ports on the processor or 362EC modules.
