Features & Operation
Answering Calls (Regular Mode)
When visitor presses the Call button on intercom, the
telephone connected to the OTIUEX will ring distinctively
up to four times. If an expandable OTIUEX system is
used all phones within the system will ring. When the
phone is answered it will connect to the Intercom at gate
or door.
After connecting to the Intercom, the gate can be
activated by dialing “*9”.
To activate the primary gate operator dial “*9” on the
phone connected to the OTIUEX.

When there is a visitor at the gate the OTIUEX will
display “Gate Visitor” on a Caller ID telephone (or Caller
ID box) that is directly connected to it.
When there is a visitor at the door, the OTIUEX will
display “Front Door” or “Back Door” depending on how
you have your door Intercom set up (see Intercom
