Door Box
Description
The Door Box is an intercom unit that can be installed at an entrance to a building. The unit
houses a Call Button that a visitor can use for two-way communication with a person inside
the building who has a keyset with a call coverage flexible button associated with the Door
Box. (Refer to
Alternatively, the unit can be mounted beyond the reach of visitors and wired to a
conventional doorbell switch, which then serves as the Call Button. This option helps protect
the Door Box from damage that might be caused by rough handling by visitors or vandals.
The unit is wired into a DTIB port in the KSU.
The Door Box can be programmed so that it will provide a unique ring tone to the call
coverage station when the visitor presses the Call Button or the doorbell switch. Refer to
