Configuring Door Phones
Use the options in the Door Phones dialog to assign each Door Phone (door intercom station) in the
system to a room/location, and an audio zone. The audio zone is the target zone for the specified
Door Phone. To configure a Door Phone:
1. Select a Door Phone Location for the first available Door Phone in the system from the drop-
down list. The number of available Door Phones is based on the number specified in the
System Information dialog.
2. Select an Intercom Zone to associate with this Door Phone from the drop-down list. The
Intercom Zones list is based on the data entered in the Audio Zones dialog.
3. To specify which Audio Zones to call from this Door Phone, use the single and double arrow
buttons to add or remove Audio Zones from the Selected list box. The single arrows move only
a single selected Audio Zone, the double arrows move all Audio Zones from one list box to the
other. By default, all Audio Zones in the system are included in the Selected list, so initially
Every door phone in the system uses two intercom zone inputs. Intercom zone inputs
are also required for DMS keypads that will utilize intercom (one per keypad).
Therefore, each door phone in the system reduces the total of allowed DMS keypads
with intercom connections by two. For example, four door phones would use eight
intercom zone inputs, leaving a maximum total of 22 DMS keypads (with intercoms)
in the system, based on the max of 30 audio zones.
Door Phones dialog
Door Phone Location: Select from a list of Rooms/Locations. The list is based on the Room/Location Names
entered in the System Information dialog. Room/location names can be added, edited
or removed by selecting the Edit Rooms/Locations button. Each Door Phone in the
system uses one room.
Note: Room/Location names are limited to 20 alphanumeric characters and can
include hyphens (-) and underscore characters (_). The first 8 characters of every
room must be unique.
Intercom Zone: Select an intercom zone for each door phone from this list.
The Intercom Zones list is based on the Audio Zones specified in the Audio Zones
dialog.
Audio Zone(s) To Call
From <Location>:
The Available list indicates audio zones that are available to call from the selected
Door Phone Location. The Selected list indicates the audio zones that have been
selected to call.
• Use the single arrow button to move a selected audio zone to the Selected list.
• Use the double-arrow button to move all available audio zones.
To specify which audio zone(s) to call from this Door Phone, use the single and double
arrow buttons to add or remove Rooms/Locations from the Available list box to the
Selected list box. The single arrows move only a single selected audio zone, the
double arrows move all audio zones from one list box to the other. By default, all audio
zones in the system are included in the Selected list, so initially you only need to
remove any audio zones that you do not want to be called from this Door Phone.
Note: Design XPress will allow you to select a Door Phone as a valid zone to call, but
it will be filtered out when you press the Next button.
Edit Rooms/Locations: To change or edit a room or location name, click the Edit Rooms/Locations button to
invoke the Edit Rooms/ Locations dialog. Select the room/location name you want to
edit from the list (on the right-hand side of the dialog), manually edit the selected
name in the Name field, and click OK.
