8.
When used in any mode of a System 25, if the user initi-
ates a call to the door and he wishes to enter the
Option Selection mode, pressing three pound keys fol-
lowed by the digit 3 (i.e., # # # 3, not # # 3) must be
entered. Actually, the first # does not seem to be recog-
nized at any time during the call. However, it should be
noted that only # # 3 is needed to enter the Option Se-
lection mode when the call is initiated from the door
button press.
When sharing a trunk port on a System 25, that port
must be configured as an “805” PBX/Centrex, not an
“801” Loop trunk. This is the only way to transmit a
hook flash to that port.
On the Merlin 1030/3070 tip and ring station application,
there is a preset delay such that the Merlin system will
disregard DTMF for the first 12 seconds of the connec-
tion. In this mode, users have the choice of either
changing that time period or waiting for it to time out for
each call.
In general, the ring-cadence option selection applies
only if there is an auxiliary alert device connected. All
of the EKTS/PBX’s will “absorb” the ringing signal from
the AT&T Door Phone Controller and generate their
own ring cadence to the telephone sets.
When using the AT&T Door Phone Controller in any con-
figuration with a Merlin System, the pound key must be
pressed twice (##) for each pound (#) sent to the unit
when dialing from a multi-button set.
Port Saver/Trunk Saver operation will not work for
Tip/Ring sets. A switch-hook flash is not passed to the
trunk port from these sets.
A trunk shared with the AT&T Door Phone Controller
should not be placed in a trunk pool with other trunks.
When the AT&T Door Phone Controller shares a C.O.
trunk, Trunk Saver operation is recommended.

Tip/Ring telephone sets connected to the Merlin System
through a BTMI cannot use Port Saver/ Trunk Saver op-
eration. The BTMI wiII not transmit the required
hook-flash signal.
System 75 requires a pound (#) to be dialed at the end
of every dial string. This is required to send the dialed
number to the trunk port.
Tip/Ring telephone sets cannot be used in this mode to
access the AT&T Door Phone.
For PARTNER telephone sets not equipped with a Re-
call button, “FEATURE 03” must be dialed to send a
hook-flash signal to the trunk port.
In the Ringdown mode, no number should be pro-
grammed in the AT&T Door Phone for it to dial when
the door button is pressed. The PARTNER Plus system
should be programmed to alert the desired stations
when the door phone goes off-hook on its station port.
The information for this system is based on engineering
judgment.

1-2 Introduction
The AT&T Door Phone Controller
The AT&T Door Phone Controller provides multi-functional
control for communications to a dedicated door-speaker unit
and a remote door-unlocking device. The AT&T Door Phone
Controller (see Figure 1-1) 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 AT&T 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)

Terms You Should Know
AuxiliaryAlert
—A door speaker’s push button can activate a
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.
Ground Start —One method by which a business telephone
system (PBX) 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 AT&T Door Phone
Controller to dial the number of a predetermined telephone
station number (PBX or EKTS must be 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.)
