Door Station call timeout

This application sets a timer on a call request from a specific station or group. Useful to prevent a door station to be left ringing if the receiver is unattended, i.e. after hours.

Go to Exhcange&System from the top menu in AlphaPro:

From the Exchange&System window choose the Events button:

In the Event Actions window click the Insert button and create an event like this:

Action commands:

$ST L%1.dir w300 L%2.dir

The timer portion of the action command is set at w300, which is 300 x 100 milliseconds (30 seconds). This can be adjusted as needed.

Another event is needed to cancel the call and the call request when the timer expires. Click the Insert button again to create this event:

Action commands:

$C L%1.dir
$MAILQ_NAVIG L%2.dir 0

Last, if someone answers the Call Request this event will cancel the timer that was started:

Action commands:

$ST L%1.dir w0

Upload the database and you are ready to test.

It might take up to a minute for the new function to activate
