DN configuration requirements for the BST Doorphone
You can set up the DN record prior to a hardware installation, or you can install the hardware
before you configure the DN record. If you install the hardware first, Business Element Manager
will automatically detect the BST Doorphone and list it in the Active DNs table.
Note: Some default DN settings can cause the BST Doorphone to automatically answer
incoming calls that are not intended to be heard over the BST Doorphone. For detailed
information about all DN settings, refer to your Avaya Business Communications
Manager (Avaya BCM) Configuration Guide.
Creating a BST Doorphone DN record
Follow these steps to create a DN record for the BST Doorphone.

Chapter 3
BST Doorphone Installation
The BST Doorphone can be mounted in a standard recessed double-gang electrical box for flush
mounting or surface mounted using the optional surface mount bracket. Mount the BST
Doorphone at shoulder height (approximately 5 ft.) in the absence of other specifications, such as
compliance with local handicapped access regulations, if required.
Select a location for the BST Doorphone within 300 m (1000 ft.) of the Avaya Business
Communications Manager (Avaya BCM) system. This distance can be increased to 780 m (2600
ft.) with the connection of a Station Auxiliary Power Supply (SAPS) to a BST Doorphone.
The BST Doorphone is suitable for exposure to weather; however, care must be taken to ensure
holes or recesses provided for the BST Doorphone are properly sealed to prevent water from
entering the wall in exposed locations. Gaskets are supplied for both flush and wall mount
installations. No gasket is required between the BST Doorphone and surface mount bracket.
Caution: You must install protection devices when wiring between the BST Doorphone
and the Avaya BCM system is routed outside a building, such as aerial or buried cable.
Protection devices must be installed at each end of the exposed cable. Avaya recommends
the ITW LINX MP1A-90-27 secondary protector for this purpose.

Wire and mount a BST Doorphone
1 Remove the BST Doorphone’s faceplate.
2 Determine if you want a flush or surface mount installation.
For a surface mount:
• Discard the flush mount gasket.
• Verify the correct orientation of the
surface mount gasket.
• Thread the wires through the center hole,
then through the surface mount bracket.
• Fasten the surface mount bracket at the
desired location on the wall.

For a flush mount:
(into an electrical box embedded in the wall)
• Discard the surface mount gasket and
bracket.
• Slide the flush mount gasket onto the main
housing assembly.
3 Run a standard 3-pair cable from the Avaya
BCM system to the BST Doorphone location.
Use one pair to connect the
''KSU'' terminals
of the BST Doorphone to a reserved station
module port on the Avaya BCM system.
Strip wires 6 mm (1/4 inch) before inserting
them in the terminal block and tightening.

4 Fasten the BST Doorphone’s faceplate to the main housing assembly.
Note: When the surface mount bracket is used, secure the wiring with a cable tie through the
round holes in the rear of the surface mount bracket or electrical box (customer supplied),
before fastening the BST Doorphone’s faceplate to the main housing assembly.

Initialize a new BST Doorphone
The system automatically recognizes the BST Doorphone once it is installed and connected. Use
the following commands, to refresh the Business Element Manager view in order for the BST
Doorphone to appear in the Active Sets panel.
• In Business Element Manager, click on the IP address in the Network Elements pane. Go to the
top menu and select View > Refresh. Business Element Manager refreshes and the allows BST
Doorphones to appear in the system.
The BST Doorphone will identify itself to the system as a Doorphone.
Note: The Call button’s backlight automatically turns on when the
BST Doorphone is connected to a station module port on the
system. The backlight is useful in low light conditions.
Call button
Optional Equipment
The Door Opening Controller (DOC) operates through a BST Doorphone to provide door opening
control. The DOC receives data from the BST Doorphone, that is compared against a dip-switch
set code for activation.
The DOC provides convenient control of locked mechanisms but is not intended for sole building
entry security. In high security environments, backup systems should be used for added protection.
Power failure, device failure, wiring faults and unauthorized equipment access can all contribute to
a failed locked or unlocked situation.
For more information on the DOC, refer to documentation provided with the DOC unit.

Testing the BST Doorphone
You can perform the following tasks to test the Doorphone settings:
• Press the Call button on the BST Doorphone and ensure the Target DN telephone rings.
• Let the Target DN telephone ring until the call is automatically disconnected. Ensure that a page
tone followed by the Doorphone’s distinctive chime is heard at specified telephones included in
the Doorphone’s page zone.
• To establish a voice path, dial the BST Doorphone’s DN from any telephone on the system, or
press the Call button on the BST Doorphone and answer the ringing call at the Target DN
telephone.
• If installed, test the DOC as shown below:
— Press the Call button on the BST Doorphone and answer the call at the Target DN
telephone.
NN40010-302
Chapter 4 Configuring BST Doorphone settings 17
— To open the door, dial the single digit code (specified in Doorphone programming) or on a
two-line display telephone, press the OPEN display button.
— Press the release button or hang up to end the test.
Doorphone configuration tips
• The Doorphone’s Target DN telephone should be assigned to the same page zone that is used by
the Doorphone for paging (chime presentation).
• The Doorphone can ring several telephones on the system using Answer DNs. Program one or
more telephones to have a Ringing Answer button for the Target DN telephone.
— For example, the Target DN telephone is DN 230. Assign DN 230 as an Answer DN for
extensions 223, 224 and 225. When the BST Doorphone Call button is pressed, four
telephones on the system will ring (telephones: 230, 222, 223 and 225).
