Using Auxiliary Equipment
Overview
There are many ways to set up auxiliary equipment—the setup you choose
depends upon your needs and the number of devices you have. This chapter
presents some common setups. (It does not cover how to physically connect the
equipment, or how to program the features. See the
PARTNER Advanced
Communications System Installation guide for installation instructions, Chapter 5
for programming instructions, and the equipment manufacturer’s documentation
for complete details on the device you connect.)
This chapter shows various applications for the following types of equipment:
■

Doorphones allow visitors to signal extensions by pressing a button on the
doorphone; the person who answers a doorphone call can then speak with
the visitor at the doorphone. A doorphone is especially useful for providing
access to offices or departments after hours. For example, you can install a
doorphone outside your building entrance to allow visitors to ring
telephones inside the building when the receptionist is not there and the
front door is locked.
The system supports up to two Lucent Technologies PARTNER
Doorphones or any number of Lucent Technologies Universal Doorphones.
Universal Doorphones offer a door unlock feature and can be installed in
addition to PARTNER Doorphones.
