  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?

  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,
