Hi, Anyone know anything about Asterisk's support for door phones? Receiving the call from the door intercom system, opening the door, etc? Any hardware recommendations? I understand that the equipment we have now is Panasonic proprietary and came with the currently deployed Panasonic TD12-32 pbx. We intend to deploy Asterisk in a 72 extensions + 16 trunks in a while, so any info will be great. thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is running on an X100P port with fxs_ks signalling. It works very well. The visitor pushes a button on the 1812 and the device comes off hook. I have the `s` extension set to auto dial the attendant. After the attendant decides to let them in, they press `9`. This is configurable. I actually have it running over an 802.11b link to the front gate entrance. You could probably operate it successfully on an fxo port from a channel bank as well, that's what the installation manual actually referred to.

I can also call the doorphone just like any other extension and it rings when I do so. Basically the keypad is ignored on the phone. as for door release, I have an electric strike on my dsc alarm system, but I have just not gotten around to making an agi that I can use to flip a bit on the parallel port and have that release the strike as well. (2n2222, a 10k resistor, and a pcb mount 12v relay, and a flyback diode, hooked up to the data bit, and in parallel with the alarm release relay.)> > > We intend to deploy Asterisk in a 72 extensions + 16 trunks in a while, > so any info will be great. > > > > thanks > >

I'm sure you can find it elsewhere, too. Built like tanks, designed for outdoor implementation. I _highly_ recommend this device. ADA-compliant with braille and raised letters (must be mounted within wheelchair height to be compliant.) They can dial a specific sequence of numbers upon button press, and they can take inbound calls, or even auto-dial when someone is screaming at it with the right module option. Also includes a set of relays that can be activated via DTMF. All analog, will plug right into an FXS port. I'm sure a clever hacker could find some NEMA-rated outdoor boxes into which an ATA-186, WiFi device, power regulator, and battery could be built, and a solar panel mounted on the top for a campus-wide or for large park areas with no wiring... To address the other point made on this thread: the DTMF sequences to open the door are only valid coming from the "far end" of the call. JT
I have this http://www.doorbellfon.com installed on fxo ports supports 2 doors $300us for -1 door box, 1 ctrl panel, 130 -2 Outbound Relay Trigger Controller to open standard electric locks, 100 -1xtra door box, 50 http://www.marko.net/asterisk/archives/0209/0077.html
