2.18.1 Doorphone Call
Description
It is possible to connect doorphones directly to the PBX. When a visitor presses the call button on a doorphone,
the doorphone calls a preprogrammed destination (extension or outside party). In addition, extension users
can dial the preset number of a doorphone to call that doorphone.

An optional doorphone and a DOORPHONE card
To connect a doorphone to a legacy gateway (® 5.3.1 Stacking Connection), refer to the documentation
of the legacy gateway.
