When connected to a PBX
Connecting to a PBX allows you to answer door calls using additional machines.
Please use only a Panasonic PBX (page 9).
L If you answer a call from the door station with a PBX extension, the camera image from the
door station will be displayed at the monitor station. If the monitor station user tries to
answer the call, a beep will sound. The display will turn off when the conversation has
ended or when the conversation continued for more than about 3 minutes.
L If you answer a call from the door station with the monitor station, the call will continue to
ring at the extension for about 15 to 30 seconds. If the extension user answers the call while
the call is still ringing, the door station user, the monitor station user, and the extension user
can speak together.
L{AUTO} mode (page 32) will not function when a door station call is answered by an
extension user.
