Door Terminals
Proceed as follows:
Using the Configuration Manager (page Devices > Device wizard > Configure)
An existing door terminal can be connected to the PBX so that various door functions such as speech connection with the door and actuation of the door opener from internal phones can be carried out. This door terminal must be created in the configuration of the PBX and allocated an internal number where it can be called.
The door terminal and the relays and switch inputs (door bell buttons) available for it can be created with the device wizard. Door calls can be created for the switch inputs of the door terminal by selecting call destinations. To detect their actuation e. g. because a door bell button has been pressed, the PBX needs to know which DTMF sequence or which SIP invite the door terminal sends when a button is pressed (see manual and settings of the device in question).
* Note: The DTMF sequence or the SIP invite is the phone number that the device dials when a door bell button is pressed.
* Note: After the door terminal has been configured in the PBX, the complete door call distribution will be controlled by the PBX – with regard to the call destinations as well as with regard to the maximum call duration. The maximum call duration can only be limited here, but no longer than the value configured in the door station.
* Note: The door call distribution can be set to depend on the configuration – differently for night and day, for example.
Only for VoIP door terminals: To create a connection with a VoIP door terminal, the PBX needs to know the SIP password of the connected device. To control the relays and switch inputs, the PBX also needs to know IP address and port of the connected device as well as authentication data (user name and password) to control the relays (see manual and settings of the device in question).
Various door terminals supported by the PBX are available as device templates. They already include several default values for operation of the door terminals in their factory settings.
If no of the device templates on offer matches your installation, you can select a user-defined device template.
