External output port (EXT O/P)
The B5800 Branch Gateway control unit is equipped with an external output port. The port is
marked as EXT O/P and is located on the back of the control unit adjacent to the power supply
input socket.
The port can be used to control up to two external devices such as door entry relay switches.
The usual application for these switches is to activate relays on door entry systems. However,
as long as the criteria for maximum current, voltage and if necessary protection are met, the
switches can be used for other applications.
The switches can be switched closed, open or pulsed (closed for 5 seconds and then open).
This can be done in a number of ways:
• Using B5800 Branch Gateway short codes.
• Through the Door Release option in B5800 Branch Gateway SoftConsole.
• Via the Open Door action in Voicemail Pro.
Default short codes: The following are the default short codes in the B5800 Branch Gateway
configuration for external output switch operation. They use the short code features Relay On
(closed), Relay Off (open) and Relay Pulse.
