Door Opening using Dummy Number (Event Handler)

Situation

Some gates are not equipped with door stations, but the operator want to 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 with the following parameters:

Event Handler configuration

Event Owner:	The operator station or an UDP group
Event type:	25 – Event Trigger w/User Parameter
Subevent:	6
When change to::	ON
When related to:	Directory number: 9545
Action:	RCO 4 ON 20
	$DISCON_ST L%1.dir U2

Explanation:

• Subevent 6 means digit 6
• When Change to ON meand when the digit is pressed (not released)
• RCO 6 ON 20 means pulse RCO 6 for 2,0 seconds
• $DISCON_ST L%1.dir U2: disconnect the station with successtone
