Application Notes (for Compatibility Chart)
1. When used in any mode of a System 25, if the user initi-
ates a call to the door and he wishes to enter the
Option Selection mode, pressing three pound keys fol-
lowed by the digit 3 (i.e., # # # 3, not # # 3) must be
entered. Actually, the first # does not seem to be recog-
nized at any time during the call. However, it should be
noted that only # # 3 is needed to enter the Option Se-
lection mode when the call is initiated from the door
button press.
When sharing a trunk port on a System 25, that port
must be configured as an “805” PBX/Centrex, not an
“801” Loop trunk. This is the only way to transmit a
hook flash to that port.
2.
3. On the Merlin 1030/3070 tip and ring station application,
there is a preset delay such that the Merlin system will
disregard DTMF for the first 12 seconds of the connec-
tion. In this mode, users have the choice of either
changing that time period or waiting for it to time out for
each call.
4. In general, the ring-cadence option selection applies
only if there is an auxiliary alert device connected. All
of the EKTS/PBX’s will “absorb” the ringing signal from
the AT&T Door Phone Controller and generate their
own ring cadence to the telephone sets.
When using the AT&T Door Phone Controller in any con-
figuration with a Merlin System, the pound key must be
pressed twice (##) for each pound (#) sent to the unit
when dialing from a multi-button set.
5.
Port Saver/Trunk Saver operation will not work for
Tip/Ring sets. A switch-hook flash is not passed to the
trunk port from these sets.
6.
7. A trunk shared with the AT&T Door Phone Controller
should not be placed in a trunk pool with other trunks.
When the AT&T Door Phone Controller shares a C.O.
trunk, Trunk Saver operation is recommended.
8.
iv
Application Notes (for Compatibility Chart) continued
Tip/Ring telephone sets connected to the Merlin System
through a BTMI cannot use Port Saver/ Trunk Saver op-
eration. The BTMI wiII not transmit the required
hook-flash signal.
9.
10.
System 75 requires a pound (#) to be dialed at the end
of every dial string. This is required to send the dialed
number to the trunk port.
11. Tip/Ring telephone sets cannot be used in this mode to
access the AT&T Door Phone.
12. For PARTNER telephone sets not equipped with a Re-
call button, “FEATURE 03” must be dialed to send a
hook-flash signal to the trunk port.
13.
In the Ringdown mode, no number should be pro-
grammed in the AT&T Door Phone for it to dial when
the door button is pressed. The PARTNER Plus system
should be programmed to alert the desired stations
when the door phone goes off-hook on its station port.
14.
The information for this system is based on engineering
judgment.

Introduction
The AT&T Door Phone Controller
The AT&T Door Phone Controller provides multi-functional
control for communications to a dedicated door-speaker unit
and a remote door-unlocking device. The AT&T Door Phone
used along with a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) or
communications system to alert personnel within a residence or
building that someone is requesting attention at the entrance.
Operating the unit is simple: when the push button on the door
speaker is pressed, the AT&T Door Phone Controller unit
signals a telephone station(s) and can activate an auxiliary
alerting device (such as a door bell, chime, or tone generator)
within the home or building. Upon hearing the ringing telephone
and/or alerting device, answer the phone and have a two-way
phone conversation with the person at the door. The person
inside the building can also remotely unlock the door, either by
entering a numeric code (Door Code) on the telephone’s
touch-tone keypad, or by pressing a button.
Features
■ Control for remote door unlocking
■ Voice communications with door speaker
■ Door ajar detect
■ Interface for door bell, chime, or tone generator
■ Selectable option functions (from touch tone telephone)

Installation Procedures
AT&T Door Phone Controller Location
You need to determine exactly where you want the unit
installed and how you want it configured. Another consideration
is what components will be used with the AT&T Door Phone
Controller. Here are some questions that must be answered
prior to installation:
■ Do you currently have a door speaker installed?
■ Do you have a business telephone system (PBX or EKTS)?
■ Do you have a remote door unlock mechanism (electric
door strike) installed?
■ Do you have an auxiliary alert system (door chime) currently
installed?
■ Do you have a door ajar switch installed?
The AT&T Door Phone Controller is designed to control the
functions of the components mentioned above, and how you
answer these questions will determine how the AT&T Door
Phone Controller will be installed, optioned, and operated.
When selecting options for your AT&T Door Phone Controller,
e.g., to change the door-unlock security code, the AT&T Door
Phone Controller unit must be DIP switch selected to Option
Selection mode. For this reason you may want to install the
AT&T Door Phone Controller unit in a secure area which has
access only by authorized personnel. If you are installing the
unit in a business environment (currently have PBX/EKTS), you
may wish to install the unit along with the telephone equipment.

Operation and Controls Information
Door Ajar Function
Default Condition —After the door has been opened by the
four digit code or the remote push button, the Door Phone
Controller will wait for the Door Ajar Call-back time-out to
elapse. At this point if the door is still open, the Door Phone
Controller will call back the phone/chime for the duration of the
ring/chime duration and then repeat after the Door Ajar
Call-back time-out has elapsed again. If the phone is answered
during that time, a Door Ajar Tone will be heard. The Door Ajar
Tone will cease when any DTMF Digit is pressed, or the user
speaks or hangs-up.
Alternate Condition —If the door is ever opened and the Door
Ajar Call-back time-out has elapsed, the Door Phone Controller
will call back the phone/chime for the duration of the ring/chime
duration and then repeat after the Door Ajar Call-back time-out
has elapsed again. If the phone is answered during that time, a
Door Ajar Tone will be heard. The Door Ajar Tone will cease
when any DTMF digit is pressed, or the user speaks or
hangs-up.

Installation Procedures
Overview
This section provides installation and operation information for
applications such as residences or small businesses which do
not have a telephone system.
When your AT&T Door Phone Controller is installed with
standard telephone equipment (no PBX), the unit may operate
in Shared Line Mode which permits a single telephone set to
be shared between the AT&T Door Phone Controller and an
outside line (to a Central Office). Thus, the standard telephone
equipment can be used for normal call operations as well as
servicing the door.
You may also use the AT&T
Door Phone Controller with a
dedicated phone.
DIP Switch Selections
To customize the AT&T Door Phone Controller to your specific
installation and option requirements, you must properly set the
8 position DIP switch located on the AT&T Door Phone
CAUTION: Do not connect to the modular jacks on
the AT&T Door Phone Controller until after the DIP
switches have been properly set.

Basic Door Answer Function
Operation –
Visitor Presses Door Speaker Button
When a visitor presses the door speaker push button, the
AT&T Door Phone Controller will signal the telephone
equipment inside your home or building to ring, and activate a
door-bell/chime device (optional). Any additional presses on the
door speaker push button will be ignored until the option
selected ring/chime duration has expired (with the exception
that a confirmation tone will still be sent to the speaker when
the door button is pressed).
Answering a Call from the Door Speaker
The person inside the building can simply answer the ringing
phone and establish two-way communications with the door
speaker. To open the door, the person inside the building either
enters the Door Code on the telephone’s keypad or presses
the customer provided door-unlock push button. Either of these
actions will activate the customer provided electric door strike
plate device.
Home/Residential
3-7
Installation —
As an alternative response when the telephone or door
bell/chime is heard, the person inside the building can press
the door-unlock push button, which will stop the ringing and will
open the door. This allows the door to be unlatched without the
use of a phone.
Calling the Door Speaker from Inside the Building
To initiate a call to the door, the person within the building
simply takes the telephone off-hook and hook-flashes the
telephone within the first 4 seconds. At this point, there will be
direct two-way communication from within the building to the
door speaker.

If a visitor presses the door speaker button while an existing
call is already taking place on the C.O. line, the AT&T Door
Phone Controller will generate a “door alert” signal to indicate

a visitor needs attention at the entrance. The person inside the
building can hook-flash the phone and be in direct two-way
communication to the door speaker. Then normal AT&T Door
Phone Controller functions can take place. When door phone
functions have been completed, i.e., door has been remotely
opened, hook-flashing the phone again within the forced
disconnect timeout (or pressing 9) will return the line back to
the original call. This feature operates much like a call-waiting
function.
pressed, you can “Hook Flash”
to the door speaker and then
back to the original call only
once, unless the push button is
pressed again.
If you forget to hook-flash back
to the original call, the AT&T
Door Phone Controller will call
you back.

Telephone Line In Use With Door When Incoming Call
Arrives
If there is a call in progress between the door speaker and a
person inside the building and a C.O. call comes in, the person
inside the building (not the door speaker) will hear a call
waiting tone. The person inside the building can hook-flash the
phone (or dial 9) and communicate with the incoming caller.
When the call is complete, the person inside the building hangs
up the phone or to speak with the person at the door speaker
again, the person inside the building must hook-flash the phone
(within 4 seconds after picking up the receiver).

Installation - No Dedicated Trunk/Station Port
Operation – Basic Door Answer Function
Visitor Presses Door Speaker Button
When a visitor presses the door speaker push button, the
AT&T Door Phone Controller will signal the telephone
equipment inside your building to ring, and activate an auxiliary
alert (door-bell/chime) (optional). Any additional presses on the
door speaker push button will be ignored (with the exception
that a confirmation tone will still be sent to the speaker when
the door button is pressed).
Answering a Call From the Door Speaker
When a person inside the building hears the telephone ring
and/or the door bell/chime sound, he can respond by answer-
ing the ringing phone. At this point, the AT&T Door Phone
Controller will establish two-way communication with the door
speaker. To open the door, the person inside the building either
enters the Door Code on the telephone’s keypad or presses
the customer provided door-unlock push button. Either of these
actions will activate the customer provided electric door strike
plate device.
As an alternative response to hearing the telephone or door
bell/chime, the person inside the building can press the door-
unlock push button which will stop the ringing and will open the
door. This allows the door to be unlatched without the use of a
phone.
Installation - No Dedicated Trunk/Station Port
6-9
Calling the Door Speaker From Inside the Building
Your PBX must be capable of
relaying the hook-flash from the
station set to the trunk port.
To initiate a call to the door in the Trunk Saver mode, the
person within the building simply takes the telephone off-hook,
accesses the trunk connected to the AT&T Door Phone
Controller, and hook-flashes the telephone within the first
5 seconds. At this point, there will be direct two-way
communication from within the building to the door speaker.
To initiate a call to the door in the Port Saver mode, the person
within the building simply takes the telephone off-hook,
accesses the trunk connected to the AT&T Door Phone
Controller, and dials “1” within the first 4 seconds. At this point,
there will be direct two-way communication from within the
building to the door speaker. (Alternatively, the person may dial
a “9” within the first 4 seconds after accessing the trunk in
order to be immediately connected to the C.O. line.)

Installation - No Dedicated Trunk/Station Port
Telephone Line In Use With Door When a Call Arrives
If there is a call in progress between the door speaker and a
station user and a call (C.O.) comes in, the person inside the
building (not the door speaker) will hear a call waiting tone. The
station user can hook-flash the phone (or dial 9) and
communicate with the incoming caller. When the call is
complete, the station user hangs up the phone. To speak with
the door phone again, the station user must either hook-flash
the phone (within 4 seconds of picking up the receiver) if
installed for Trunk Saver Mode or dial “1” if installed for Port
Saver Mode.
Placing a Call Through the C.O. From Inside Building
To initiate a call through the C.O. in the Trunk Saver Mode, the
person within the building simply takes the telephone off-hook,
accesses the trunk connected to the AT&T Door Phone
controller, and then dials the desired phone number. This is
normal procedure for placing an outside call.
To initiate a call through the C.O. in the Port Saver Mode, the
person within the building simply takes the telephone off-hook,
then accesses the trunk connected to the AT&T Door Phone
Controller. At this point the caller will hear a dial tone from the
Door Phone Controller. Dialing a “9”, or waiting 4 seconds, will
switch the caller to the C.O. and the regular phone number is
dialed.

useful to determine how many devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have them ring when your telephone line is
called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs per line should

The local telephone company must also be notified upon final
disconnection of the equipment from the local telephone company
lines.
