telephone equipment (residential, PBX, etc.) will be used along with your
Door Phone Controller.

Depending on which section is referenced, all the necessary programming,
switch setting and operating information will also be included.

Introduction 1-3
The PagePac®Door Phone Controller
The Door Phone Controller provides multi-functional control for
communications to a dedicated door-speaker unit and a remote door-
unlocking device. The Door Phone Controller (see Figure1-1) can be used
alone, or it can be used along with a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) or
communications system to alert personnel within a residence or building
that someone is requesting attention at the entrance. Operating the unit is
simple: when the push button on the door speaker is pressed, the Door
Phone Controller unit signals a telephone station(s) and can activate an
auxiliary alerting device (such as a door bell, chime, or tone generator)
within the home or building. Upon hearing the ringing telephone and/or
alerting device, answer the phone and have a two-way phone conversation
with the person at the door. The person inside the building can also
remotely unlock the door, either by entering a numeric code (Door Code)
on the telephone's touch-tone keypad, or by pressing a button.
Features
■Control for remote door unlocking
■Voice communications with door speaker
■Door ajar detect
■Interface for door bell, chime, or tone generator
■Selectable option functions (from touch tone telephone)

bell/chime within the building.
Cadence—Telephone Ringing cycle, i.e., 2 second ringing,
4 second no ringing.
C.O. line—Central Office telephone line carrier into building.
EKTS (Electronic Key Telephone System)—Small business telephone
communications system.

signals the telephone company that you have gone off-hook. Used in most
business applications – contact your telephone company to determine if
you have Ground or Loop Start.
Loop Start—One method of signaling the telephone company that your
telephone has gone off-hook – used for most residential and
communication system applications. Contact your telephone company to
determine if you have Ground or Loop Start.
PBX (Private Branch Exchange)—Business telephone system.
Ringdown—In Station mode, the activation of the door speaker's push
button will cause the Door Phone Controller to dial the number of a
predetermined telephone station number (PBX orEKTS mustbe installed).
When the telephone is answered, there is direct two-way communication
with the door speaker.
Trunk Port—PBX connection for Central Office or trunk lines.
Station Port—PBX connection for station sets.
Hook-Flash—This causes telephone equipment to go “on hook” for a
duration usually less than a second (not long enough to be considered as
calling for the circuit to be released.)
