Application Notes (for Compatibility Chart)

When used in any mode of a System 25, if the user initiates a call to the door and he wishes to enter the Option Selection mode, pressing three pound keys followed by the digit 3 (i.e., # # # 3, not # # 3) must be entered. Actually, the first # does not seem to be recognized at any time during the call. However, it should be

noted that only # # 3 is needed to enter the Option Selection mode when the call is initiated from the door

button press. When sharing a trunk port on a System 25, that port

2. must be configured as an “805” PBX/Centrex, not an “801” Loop trunk. This is the only way to transmit a hook flash to that port.

On the Merlin 1030/3070 tip and ring station application,

there is a preset delay such that the Merlin system will disregard DTMF for the first 12 seconds of the connection. In this mode, users have the choice of either

changing that time period or waiting for it to time out for each call.

In general, the ring-cadence option selection applies

only if there is an auxiliary alert device connected. All of the EKTS/PBX’s will “absorb” the ringing signal from the AT&T Door Phone Controller and generate their own ring cadence to the telephone sets.

When using the AT&T Door Phone Controller in any con-

figuration with a Merlin System, the pound key must be

pressed twice (##) for each pound (#) sent to the unit when dialing from a multi-button set.

Port Saver/Trunk Saver operation will not work for

6. Tip/Ring sets. A switch-hook flash is not passed to the trunk port from these sets.

A trunk shared with the AT&T Door Phone Controller

should not be placed in a trunk pool with other trunks.

When the AT&T Door Phone Controller shares a C.O.

8. trunk, Trunk Saver operation is recommended.

Application Notes (for Compatibility Chart) continued

Tip/Ring telephone sets connected to the Merlin System

9. through a BTMI cannot use Port Saver/ Trunk Saver op-

eration. The BTMI wiII not transmit the required hook-flash signal.

10.

System 75 requires a pound (#) to be dialed at the end

of every dial string. This is required to send the dialed

number to the trunk port.

Tip/Ring telephone sets cannot be used in this mode to

11. access the AT&T Door Phone.

For PARTNER telephone sets not equipped with a Re-

12. call button, “FEATURE 03” must be dialed to send a

hook-flash signal to the trunk port.

13.

In the Ringdown mode, no number should be programmed in the AT&T Door Phone for it to dial when the door button is pressed. The PARTNER Plus system should be programmed to alert the desired stations when the door phone goes off-hook on its station port.

14.

The information for this system is based on engineering

judgment.

The AT&T Door Phone Controller

The AT&T Door Phone Controller provides multi-functional control for communications to a dedicated door-speaker unit and a remote door-unlocking device. The AT&T Door Phone Controller (see Figure 1-1) can be used alone, or it can be used along with a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) or communications system to alert personnel within a residence or building that someone is requesting attention at the entrance. Operating the unit is simple: when the push button on the door speaker is pressed, the AT&T Door Phone Controller unit signals a telephone station(s) and can activate an auxiliary alerting device (such as a door bell, chime, or tone generator) within the home or building. Upon hearing the ringing telephone and/or alerting device, answer the phone and have a two-way phone conversation with the person at the door. The person inside the building can also remotely unlock the door, either by entering a numeric code (Door Code) on the telephone’s

touch-tone keypad, or by pressing a button.

Features

■ Control for remote door unlocking

■ Voice communications with door speaker

■ Door ajar detect

■ Interface for door bell, chime, or tone generator

■ Selectable option functions (from touch tone telephone)

2-8 Installation Procedures

Use caution when

installing or modifying

telephone lines.

AT&T Door Phone Controller Location

You need to determine exactly where you want the unit installed and how you want it configured. Another consideration is what components will be used with the AT&T Door Phone Controller. Here are some questions that must be answered prior to installation:

■ Do you currently have a door speaker installed?

■ Do you have a business telephone system (PBX or EKTS)?

■ Do you have a remote door unlock mechanism (electric

door strike) installed?

■ Do you have an auxiliary alert system (door chime) currently

installed?

■ Do you have a door ajar switch installed?

The AT&T Door Phone Controller is designed to control the functions of the components mentioned above, and how you answer these questions will determine how the AT&T Door

Phone Controller will be installed, optioned, and operated.

When selecting options for your AT&T Door Phone Controller,

e.g., to change the door-unlock security code, the AT&T Door

Phone Controller unit must be DIP switch selected to Option

Selection mode. For this reason you may want to install the AT&T Door Phone Controller unit in a secure area which has access only by authorized personnel. If you are installing the

unit in a business environment (currently have PBX/EKTS), you

may wish to install the unit along with the telephone equipment.

Operation and Controls Information

Door Ajar Function

Default Condition —After the door has been opened by the

four digit code or the remote push button, the Door Phone

Controller will wait for the Door Ajar Call-back time-out to elapse. At this point if the door is still open, the Door Phone Controller will call back the phone/chime for the duration of the ring/chime duration and then repeat after the Door Ajar

Call-back time-out has elapsed again. If the phone is answered during that time, a Door Ajar Tone will be heard. The Door Ajar Tone will cease when any DTMF Digit is pressed, or the user speaks or hangs-up.

Alternate Condition —If the door is ever opened and the Door Ajar Call-back time-out has elapsed, the Door Phone Controller will call back the phone/chime for the duration of the ring/chime duration and then repeat after the Door Ajar Call-back time-out

has elapsed again. If the phone is answered during that time, a

Door Ajar Tone will be heard. The Door Ajar Tone will cease when any DTMF digit is pressed, or the user speaks or

hangs-up.

Speaker Volume Control

You can adjust the volume level of the door speaker by adjusting the Speaker Volume Control on the Door Phone Controller front panel (see Figure 1-1).

Talk Back Volume Control

You can adjust the volume level from the door speaker to an

inside telephone extension by adjusting the Talk Back Volume Control (see Figure 1-1).

2-20 Installation Procedures

LED

When the AT&T Door Phone Controller is powered on and

functioning normally, the LED (Figure 1-1) should continually

blink 2.5 times a second. If there is a malfunction the LED will blink faster than 4 times a second (see Troubleshooting section) or go out completely. If the LED is not lit, check power to unit first before calling for repair.

Installation

— Home/Residential 3-1

Overview

This section provides installation and operation information for applications such as residences or small businesses which do not have a telephone system.

You may also use the AT&T Door Phone Controller with a dedicated phone.

When your AT&T Door Phone Controller is installed with standard telephone equipment (no PBX), the unit may operate in Shared Line Mode which permits a single telephone set to be shared between the AT&T Door Phone Controller and an outside line (to a Central Office). Thus, the standard telephone equipment can be used for normal call operations as well as

servicing the door.

DIP Switch Selections

To customize the AT&T Door Phone Controller to your specific

installation and option requirements, you must properly set the

8 position DIP switch located on the AT&T Door Phone

Controller front panel (see Figure 1-1).

CAUTION: Do not connect to the modular jacks on

the AT&T Door Phone Controller until after the DIP

switches have been properly set.

Complete information about the DIP switch settings can be found in Appendix A.

3-2 Installation —

Home/Residential

When using the Door Phone Controller with a small business or residential telephone equipment (no PBX installed), the DIP switches must be set as shown in Figure 3-1 (all OFF).

Phone Controller DIP

Operation –

Basic Door Answer Function

Visitor Presses Door Speaker Button

When a visitor presses the door speaker push button, the AT&T Door Phone Controller will signal the telephone

equipment inside your home or building to ring, and activate a door-bell/chime device (optional). Any additional presses on the door speaker push button will be ignored until the option selected ring/chime duration has expired (with the exception

that a confirmation tone will still be sent to the speaker when the door button is pressed).

Answering a Call from the Door Speaker

The person inside the building can simply answer the ringing phone and establish two-way communications with the door speaker. To open the door, the person inside the building either enters the Door Code on the telephone’s keypad or presses

the customer provided door-unlock push button. Either of these

actions will activate the customer provided electric door strike plate device.

Installation —

Home/Residential 3-7

As an alternative response when the telephone or door bell/chime is heard, the person inside the building can press

the door-unlock push button, which will stop the ringing and will

open the door. This allows the door to be unlatched without the use of a phone.

Calling the Door Speaker from Inside the Building

To initiate a call to the door, the person within the building simply takes the telephone off-hook and hook-flashes the telephone within the first 4 seconds. At this point, there will be direct two-way communication from within the building to the door speaker.

Telephone Line In Use When Visitor Presses Door Speaker Button

Once the 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 C.O. line, the AT&T Door Phone Controller will generate a “door alert” signal to indicate a visitor needs attention at the entrance. The person inside the building can hook-flash the phone and be in direct two-way communication to the door speaker. Then normal AT&T Door Phone Controller functions can take place. When door phone

functions have been completed, i.e., door has been remotely

opened, hook-flashing the phone again within the forced

disconnect timeout (or pressing 9) will return the line back to the original call. This feature operates much like a call-waiting function.

3-8 Installation — Home/Residential

Telephone Line In Use With Door When Incoming Call Arrives

If there is a call in progress between the door speaker and a person inside the building and a C.O. call comes in, the person inside the building (not the door speaker) will hear a call

waiting tone. The person inside the building can hook-flash the phone (or dial 9) and communicate with the incoming caller. When the call is complete, the person inside the building hangs up the phone or to speak with the person at the door speaker again, the person inside the building must hook-flash the phone (within 4 seconds after picking up the receiver).

Operation

– Basic Door Answer Function

Visitor Presses Door Speaker Button

When a visitor presses the door speaker push button, the

AT&T Door Phone Controller will signal the telephone

equipment inside your building to ring, and activate an auxiliary alert (door-bell/chime) (optional). Any additional presses on the door speaker push button will be ignored (with the exception that a confirmation tone will still be sent to the speaker when the door button is pressed).

Answering a Call From the Door Speaker

When a person inside the building hears the telephone ring and/or the door bell/chime sound, he can respond by answer-

ing the ringing phone. At this point, the AT&T Door Phone Controller will establish two-way communication with the door speaker. To open the door, the person inside the building either enters the Door Code on the telephone’s keypad or presses

the customer provided door-unlock push button. Either of these actions will activate the customer provided electric door strike

plate device.

As an alternative response to hearing the telephone or door

bell/chime, the person inside the building can press the doorunlock push button which will stop the ringing and will open the

door. This allows the door to be unlatched without the use of a

phone.

Calling the Door Speaker From Inside the Building

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.)

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.

6-10 Installation - No Dedicated Trunk/Station Port

Telephone Line In Use With Door When a Call Arrives

If there is a call in progress between the door speaker and a station user and a call (C.O.) comes in, the person inside the building (not the door speaker) will hear a call waiting tone. The station user can hook-flash the phone (or dial 9) and communicate with the incoming caller. When the call is complete, the station user hangs up the phone. To speak with

the door phone again, the station user must either hook-flash the phone (within 4 seconds of picking up the receiver) if

installed for Trunk Saver Mode or dial “1” if installed for Port Saver Mode.

Placing a Call Through the C.O. From Inside Building

To initiate a call through the C.O. 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 then dials the desired phone number. This is normal procedure for placing an outside call.

To initiate a call through the C.O. in the Port Saver Mode, the person within the building simply takes the telephone off-hook,

then accesses the trunk connected to the AT&T Door Phone

Controller. At this point the caller will hear a dial tone from the

Door Phone Controller. Dialing a “9”, or waiting 4 seconds, will switch the caller to the C.O. and the regular phone number is dialed.

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. If advance notice isn’t practical, the

telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also,

you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,

operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make the necessary modifications in order to maintain uninterrupted service.

If trouble is experienced with this equipment, please contact your dealer for repair and(or) warranty information. If the trouble is causing

harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request you remove the equipment from the network until the problem is

resolved.

Registered equipment may not be used on telephone company Coin Telephone Lines. Equipment may be used with Party Lines in areas where state tariffs permit such connections and when equipment is adaptable for such use.

2. Information You May Need to Supply the Telephone Company

Upon request of your local telephone company, you are required to provide them with the following information:

A. The lines to which you will connect the telephone equipment.

B. The FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number

(REN). Both numbers are listed on the equipment label. The REN is

useful to determine how many devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have them ring when your telephone line is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs per line should be 5 or less. You may want to contact your local telephone company. The local telephone company must also be notified upon final disconnection of the equipment from the local telephone company

lines.
