handicapped access hotline

[jp61616]

I have never done this before, but from reading I think what I want is a hotline. We have a handicapped door and want to put a phone outside that will ring only to our reception so the door can be unlocked for the person wanting to come in. We are looking at using simply an analog phone in a weatherproof box. How would I program this so that the person outside would simply lift the receiver and it would ring to the desk - and the phone would not do anything else. Thanks.

Program the 500 port the way you would normally

when you reach the CLS prompt, add "EHTA" to your list of CLS mnemonics,

when you reach the FTR prompt, you enter

FTR HOT D nn x..x

Where nn is the number of digits in your HOT D key and where x..x is the DN you want to terminate the 500 port to.

It works with DIP (dial pulse) and DTN (digitone) phones. CLS DTN is default.

for analog sets and the sets dialpad is disabled.. google for weatherproof phones, any analog will work.. we have several here usually hot d to security.. 50 total, 12 in the new parking deck that we are supposed to test once a month...
