Programming the Door Box

Door Box Setup

You must assign the circuit type and chime pattern to each installed Door Box.
In 1801 - Extension Circuit Type, enter 10 to assign the extension as a Door Box.
In 1801 - Door Chime, enter the Door Chime type.
0 = Normal Ring Group ringing.
1 = Low pitch chime pattern.
2 = Mid range pitch chime pattern.
3 = High pitch chime pattern.

Door Box Ringing

When a visitor at the door presses the Door Box call button, the Door Box will alert (chime) all the exten-
sions in the Ring Group to which the Door Box belongs. For example, if the Door Box and extensions 301
and 302 are in Ring Group 1, pressing the call button alerts 301 and 302.
In 1802 - Ring Group Number, assign the Door Box and the extensions that should alert to the same
Ring Group.
In 0511 - Ring Group Master Extension Numbers and Names, assign a Ring Group master number
to the Ring Group assigned in the previous step.

Door Box Relay Control

Any keyset extension that receives Door Box chimes can control the CPU relay, which in turn typically
enables an electric strike on an entrance door next to a Door Box. After answering the Door Box chimes, the
extension user can press a FLASH or a soft key to enable the associated relay. The visitor at the door can
then enter without having an employee open the entrance for them.
Be sure the device connected to the system's relay contacts is compatible with the following specifications.
The following products should help if you make your own cables. The connector is generally referred to as a
RJ45 connector wired in an RJ61X configuration. Check with your local supplier for comparable products.
Suttle SE-266-8K 8 Position Modular Plug (requires an SE-166 or SE-166-6 modular crimping tool).
Hubbell BRFT4P Snap-On 8 Position Modular Plug (does not require a special crimping tool).
4-4 Section 4: Optional Equipment
With software version 02.02.14 or higher, digital station ports (on installed and programmed
PCBs) automatically detect the type of connected device when the keyset, 2-OPX Module or Digital
Door Box is plugged in.
If you enter Door Chime type 0 (normal ring) above, you can set up Call Coverage keys for the
Ring Group. This allows extensions that are not members of the Ring Group to answer Door Box
calls. Extensions with Call Coverage keys to the Door Box Ring Group can also activate the relay
(see Door Box Relay Control below).
To allow the attendant to answer Door Box calls, set up a Call Coverage key for the Door Box
Ring Group. This is an answer-only key, and is required because the attendant cannot be in a Ring
Group to receive chimes. Also, consider giving the attendant a Hotline key to the Door Box to make
calling easier.
