Siemens (Bewator) / Model: K42 Door entry system 1

[Firebird Scrambler]

Hello everyone

I'm not sure if I'm on the right forum, but I'm involved with replacing a Sirmens system and they currently have a Siemens (Bewator) Door entry system. What I would like to know is if the signalling is analogue rather than digital to the phone system. Most of the older door entry systems were analogue and you could reuse the same system on another phone system as long as it supported an ATA device.

Any reply would be greatly appreciated.

The K42 doesn't appear to be an intercom-type system. Looks like more of a locking device. Link
Yours looks similar, but not identical.

Looking at your original question I would say that it is most likely to be an analogue integration.
You should 'go across' the pair coming from the door device and listen using a test telephone/butt set.
If you hear DTMF then it would be an analogue integration.
If you could also trace the cables back to the phone system you could see what interface it is connected to. (Analogue or Digital)

Thanks guys

I was thinking and hoping that this would be an analogue device. I'm guessing that I will have to deal with this when I provide a hosted IP system and try out a ATA to SIP converter.
