number may gain access through the EntraGuard controlled door.

2.1 Telephone Commands

The following commands may be executed from your telephone when connected with the
EntraGuard controller.

Unlock Door 1
The telephone key assigned to this task, when pressed, unlocks the door controlled by the
EntraGuard unit and allows a visitor access to the building. Once this key is pressed, the connection
between your phone and the EntraGuard unit is terminated.

Hang Up
The telephone key assigned to this task, when pressed, terminates the connection between your
phone and the EntraGuard controller without performing any other function (such as unlocking the
door).

Activate Output 1
The telephone key assigned to this task, when pressed, activates an output such as turning on the
foyer lights. This output is determined by your building manager. When this key is pressed, the
connection between your phone and the EntraGuard unit remains until pressing the keys for
“Unlock Door 1” or “Hang Up.”

Activate Output 2
The telephone key assigned to this task, when pressed, activates a second output previously
determined by your building manager. When this key is pressed, the connection between your
phone and the EntraGuard unit remains until pressing the keys for “Unlock Door 1” or “Hang Up.”

2.2 Real Life Example:

Dave’s friend Tom has come to visit him. Dave will want to activate 2 tasks when Tom arrives.
First, he will want to turn on the lobby lights (which has been assigned to Output 1 and given the
telephone command code of 6), and then he will want to unlock the door (which has been assigned
to Unlock Door 1 and given the telephone command code of 9). Performing these two tasks will
allow Tom to enter the building and give him extra lighting to find Dave’s apartment.

1. When Tom arrives at the EntraGuard unit, he uses it to call Dave on his home phone.

2. Dave answers the phone and after speaking with Tom, decides to perform the tasks previously
decided upon.

3. Dave first presses the number 6 key on his telephone (turning on the lobby lights).

4. Dave then presses the number 9 key on his telephone (unlocking the door and allowing entry
into the building).

5. Upon completion of these tasks, Dave hangs up the phone.

NOTE: Since the task of unlocking the door will automatically terminate the connection between
the home phone and the EntraGuard unit, perform all other tasks prior to unlocking the door.
