4.3  Door-Phone-Operation Details

Any extension, with the exception of Extension #00 and the System Manager’s extension, may be configured
to be a door phone. The Door Phone may be placed at any location requiring a hands-free intercom station.
In addition, any ordinary phone can be used as a door phone. When a person at the door phone goes
offhook (or presses the button on the Door Phone), an alert ring is heard on the first four available
extensions in the Standard Incoming List. This is similar to an incoming call where the first four available
extensions in the Standard Incoming List are rung.

Any of the ringing phones may go offhook within the next 12 seconds to make a connection with the

Door-Phone extension. More than one phone may connect to the Door-Phone extension.

Also, any extension can make an intercom call to a Door Phone and they will be immediately connected

with the Door Phone operating in a hands-free mode. An intercom call to an ordinary phone connected to
an extension programmed to be a door phone will ring normally.
