This article explains how to configure the Door Opening feature.

[[Door opening]] is a standard feature in the ICX-AlphaCom and AlphaCom XE. When an operator is in a conversation with a door station, the operator can press digit 6 to activate a relay. The relay will be pulsed for 3.5 seconds (configurable).

As an option, it is also possible to play a prerecorded message at the door, saying e.g. "''The door is open, please enter''".

==Map the relay to a Logical RCO==
All Zenitel IP stations have an inbuilt relay. The relay must be mapped to a "Logical RCO" in the ICX-AlphaCom server. The mapping is done from AlphaPro, [[Exchange_%26_System_%28AlphaPro%29#RCO|Exchange & System > RCO]]. Here the logical RCO is assigned to a physical address.  The physical address is given as '''Station ID''' + '''Pin Number'''.

Open [[Exchange_%26_System_%28AlphaPro%29#RCO|Exchange & System > RCO]], and select a free RCO from the list to the left and click the '''Change''' button.

Change the following parameters:
* '''Description''': Any text
*'''RCO Type''' = Station
* '''Station physical number''': The '''''physical''''' number of the door station (Not the directory number)
* '''Pin number''': The output number related to the relay, normally "7" (see below)

</tr>
<tr>
<td style='background-color:#efefef;'>Mapping logical RCO 6 to the relay of station 11 (106 - Entrance)</td>
</tr>
</table>

What '''Pin Number''' to use depends on the station type:
* [[:Category:Stations#Turbine_stations|Zenitel IP Stations (Turbine generation)]]: Pin Number = 7 refers to the relay. Pin 1-6 refers to the six I/Os of the Zenitel Device.
* [[:Category:INCA Stations|INCA Stations (the previous generation Zenitel IP stations)]]: Use Pin Number = 1

For an overview of which devices are supporting RCOs and what pin numbers they use, see [[RCO_-_Remote_Control_Output#Devices_supporting_RCOs|Devices_supporting_RCOs]]
{{note|A '''Reset''' of the ICX-AlphaCom server is required for the RCO mapping configuration to take effect}}

==Creating Event for Door Opening ==
In AlphaPro, open [[Users & Stations (AlphaPro)|Users & Stations]], and select the door station from the list to the left. Then select the button '''Events'''. '''Insert''' a new event with the following properties:

<table style="max-width:80%; border-style: double; border-color: #c7c7c7;">
<tr style="rowspan:2;">
<td style="display: block; vertical-align: bottom;">[[Image:DoorOpeningEvent.png|700px]]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style='background-color:#efefef;'>Door Opening event</td>
</tr>
</table>


The '''When Related To''' field specifies who should be allowed to trigger the Door Opening feature. There are three options:
* Any station: Set "When Related To" = '''All''' (default)
* A specific station: Set "When Related To" = '''Directory Number''', and in the "Id" field enter the directory number of the station that should be allowed to open the door (station 120 in the screenshot above)
* A group of stations: Set "When Related To" = '''Stations w. UDP''', and in the "Id" field enter the ID of the UDP group (1-8). See [[UDP group]] on how to include stations in a UDP group

In the example above RCO 6 will be pulsed for 3.5 sec when the Door Opening feature (digit 6) is pressed on station number 120. The '''RCO Pulse Time''' can be change in the [[Exchange_%26_System_(AlphaPro)#Timers|Exchange & System > System > Timers tab]].

== Optional configuration ==
=== Automatic termination of the call after activation of door opening ===

The system can be configured to terminate the call automatically after the door opening feature has been activated, eliminating the need for the operator to press the C-key to end the call.
Three lines must be added to the Action Command:

<table style="max-width:80%; border-style: double; border-color: #c7c7c7;">
<tr style="rowspan:2;">
<td style="display: block; vertical-align: bottom;">[[Image:DoorOpeningEvent3.png|700px]]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style='background-color:#efefef;'>Event for auto-termination of call</td>
</tr>
</table>

The Action commands are (one can copy/paste from below):

{{code2|
 RCO 6
 IF %chg(0,1)
 $C L%1.dir
 ENDIF
}}

<br>

=== Playing a prerecorded message at the door ===
{{note|This feature requires an [[Licenses for ICX-500 and ICX-AlphaCom Core|Audio Messaging license]]}}
<table style="float:right; max-width:80%; border-style: double; border-color: #c7c7c7;">
<tr style="rowspan:2;">
<td style="display: block; vertical-align: bottom;">[[Image:DoorOpeningMessage.png|500px]]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style='background-color:#efefef;'>Playing an audio message at the door</td>
</tr>
</table>
A prerecorded audio message can be played at the door when the operator activates the door lock, saying e.g. "''The door is open, please enter''".

A wav file must be [[Audio_Messaging#Upload_customized_wav-files_from_AlphaWeb|uploaded to the ICX-AlphaCom server]]. Sample wav files can be found in the '''Audio files''' section on [[Downloads#Audio_files|download page]].

<table style="max-width:80%; border-style: double; border-color: #c7c7c7;">
<tr style="rowspan:2;">
<td style="display: block; vertical-align: bottom;">[[Image:DoorOpeningUploadMessage.png|700px]]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style='background-color:#efefef;'>Uploading the wav file as Announcement Message (Message group 30) number 3 (Group index 3)</td>
</tr>
</table>


The action commands in the Door Opening event created in the previous section needs to be modified. In the example below station group 890 is used for dispatching the message. If this group is already in use, the below event must be modified to use a different group.
<table style="max-width:80%; border-style: double; border-color: #c7c7c7;">
<tr style="rowspan:2;">
<td style="display: block; vertical-align: bottom;">[[Image:DoorOpeningEvent2.png|700px]]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style='background-color:#efefef;'>Door Opening event playing message 3 (8193) to group 890 </td>
</tr>
</table>

{{code2|
 RCO 6
 $GRM L%1.dir L890 %chg(1,0)
 IF %chg(1,0)
 $GM L890 L8193 U1 U0 U0
 ENDIF
}}


Explanation:
* When the Door Opening event goes ON:
** Turn on RCO 6
** Include ($GRM) the door station in station group 890
** Play message 8193 to group 890
* When the Door Opening event goes OFF 3.5 sec later:
** Turn off RCO 6
** Exclude ($GRM) the door station from station group 890


If you want to combine Auto-termination of Call, and playback of audio message, insert the following Action Command:

{{code2|
 RCO 6
 $GRM L%1.dir L890 %chg(1,0)
 IF %chg(1,0)
 $GM L890 L8193 U1 U0 U0
 ENDIF
 IF %chg(0,1)
 $C L%1.dir
 ENDIF
}}
