Hello, I have a customer who has their front door integrated to their current phone system. If someone presses the buzzer, the secretaries phone will ring, and she can talk to the person at the door. By pressing ** she can release the door. Anyone have any sort of integration like this. Are there IP devices anyone is using? They have a pizza box server as their asterisk server with a T1 card. No more slots, so if I want to use the existing infrastructure I will need to build a second server with an FXO port. Kinda stupid having a second server just to open the door. Any suggestions?

Or if it is a phone device maybe an Iaxy can do the trick? Stefan de Konink

Cian I assume you could use a Grandstream 286 or two devices would be even better. Maybe a GS 102 programmed with autodial to the secretary and depending on the secretary's phone you could program a speed dial to the GS 286 which in turn will send ring voltage to the relay that unlatches the door. Make sure that exentension is only available from the internal dialplan. Also for some really cool wow effect, make it available from your incoming context with an authenticate line. Now employees can open the door with their cell phones after entering a pin. Thanks, Steve Totaro -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have in my house a device called "DoorBell Fon", which connects to an FXO port. When a visitor presses the button on the intercom, Asterisk will see an incoming call. You can configure your dialplan to react as you wish. You can also purchase a lock controller which will solve the problem of opening the door. You can buy it from www.smarthome.com, or directly from the manufacturer. Aren't there USB FXO adapters that you could use?

I have the same problem setup with one of our customers, but I have a different problem. I have Grandstream ATA 486 connected to clients doorphone system and clients *. I have two problems: first, when someone is calling from the doorphone, ATA doesn't recognize the called number correctly. 2 or tries out of 10, ATA get's the number wrong. I have tried all kinds of DTMF settings, relax dtmf and so on, nothing helps. It seems to me, the doorphone's generated DTMF tones are too short. Ok, that I can resolve with some simple hack, but bigger problem is, when secretary presses 8 on the phone, to open the door, doorphone doesn't recognize the tone. Customer has SNOM 190's and BT-100 on their network. Now however long I press the button on the phone, * still sends a very short tone on the line. And that doesn't seem to enough for the doorphone to recognize. Is there any way to make * generate longer DTMF tones?
