SYSTEM: AVAYA PARTNER ACS R7
Hi everyone:
I'd like to add a door phone with contact closure option so that users can release the door and allow people to enter the building.
A few questions:
1. I don't need a fancy flush-mount doorphone, right? I was thinking of putting an old analog set inside a weatherproof enclosure and assigning it as a door phone. Any problems with that?
2. I'm not sure exactly what components I need to purchase for the install. I'm assuming I need some kind of controller and a contact closure. Could someone provide a list of what's needed to install completely and maybe some places online I could purchase the needed items?
3. Once installed, can any extension release the contact closure and allow the door to open, or can only certain extensions do it?
4. What ports need to be free on the ACS to accommodate the door phone and peripherals? I know I'd need at least one station port, but am not sure if another type of port (CO maybe?) would be needed to operate the contact closure.
5. There are a few occasions when it would be desirable for the door to be in "always open" mode. Is there something that can be done to toggle the contact?
I've read posts on programming the door phone - that seems straight-forward, but I'm just not sure what's needed in terms of extra items. Thanks for your help and feedback!
