Hi,

Anyone know anything about Asterisk's support for door phones? Receiving the call from the door intercom system, opening the door, etc?

Any hardware recommendations? I understand that the equipment we have now is Panasonic proprietary and came with the currently deployed Panasonic TD12-32 pbx.

We intend to deploy Asterisk in a 72 extensions + 16 trunks in a while, so any info will be great.

thanks

While this isn't an Asterisk question, I guess, I find it hard not to comment on a particularly excellent piece of equipment which which I've worked previously:

Can be ordered from Grainger (at least, two years ago it could) here in North America under part number 4RR12 "Emergency Access Phone" for $623.50. I'm sure you can find it elsewhere, too.

Built like tanks, designed for outdoor implementation. I _highly_ recommend this device. ADA-compliant with braille and raised letters (must be mounted within wheelchair height to be compliant.) They can dial a specific sequence of numbers upon button press, and they can take inbound calls, or even auto-dial when someone is screaming at it with the right module option. Also includes a set of relays that can be activated via DTMF. All analog, will plug right into an FXS port. I'm sure a clever hacker could find some NEMA-rated outdoor boxes into which an ATA-186, WiFi device, power regulator, and battery could be built, and a solar panel mounted on the top for a campus-wide or for large park areas with no wiring...

To address the other point made on this thread: the DTMF sequences to open the door are only valid coming from the "far end" of the call.
