Definity Door Phones

[joel7]

Is anyone using a doorphone with their Definity succesfully? We need the doorphone to be able to dial 4 digit extensions for our employees. The way we want to use it is not as an entry phone, but as an afterhours phone where a guest could come to our door and dial the extension of the person they are trying to reach from the doorphone. We currently have a Minipak that we hard wired to an analog card but it is not dialing extensions internally.

You should be able to use almost any phone.
Just set it up with a cor that is restricted to internal only.

We tried that already, but I think its an internal phone programming issue. I was just wondering what doorphones are being used out there that work the way we need them to.

Thanks,

We put an inexpensive wall hung analog set.
On page 3, I set the Hot Line Destination, so that everytime someone picks it up, it dials the main autoattendant. You should be able to do that with your door phone.

Thanks, I tried this but for some reason the door phone drops the call. I can hear the auto-attendant pick up the call and then when I try to make a selection, the call drops. We may have to look at a different door phone since this isnt working the way we need it to. Thank you for your help.
