Door Opening using Dummy Number (Event Handler)

Situation

Some gates are not equipped with door stations, but the operator should use the same Door opening procedure to open the door. When the operator gets a signal that there is someone at the door he should dial a dummy number, then press digit 6 to operate a relay output (i.e. a RCO).

Solution

For this function the two-step event trigger, feature 105, can be used. In AlphaPro, Directory & Features, create a directory number, feature 105, for each door. Directory number 9545 is included by default. In Exchange & System -> Events, create a new event.

Using the example below, any station can dial 9545 + 6 to trigger RCO 4 for 2 seconds, and disconnect with success-tone:

• RCO 6 ON 20: Pulse RCO 6 for 2,0 seconds
• $DISCON_ST L%1.dir U2: Disconnect the station with successtone
