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.

Solution

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). In the example below any station can dial 9545 + 6 to trigger RCO 4 for 2 seconds, and disconnect with success-tone. Use the two-step event trigger, feature 105.

Programming

In AlphaPro, Directory & Features, press "Insert" to create a directory number, feature 105, for each door. Directory number 9545 is included by default.
In AlphaPro, go to Exchange and System -> Events, press Insert and create the following event:
