NEC DS1000 - Manual (Page 101)

The Door Box is a self-contained
Intercom unit you can use to mon-
itor an entrance door. A visitor at
your door can press the Door Box
call button (like a door bell). The Door Box then sends chimes to
all telephones programmed to receive chimes. If the Door Box
chimes ring your phone, you can talk to the visitor at the door just
by lifting the handset.
The Door Box is convenient to have at a delivery entrance, for
example. You don’t need to have a co-worker monitor the deliv-
ery entrance; just answer the Door Box chimes instead.
If your telephone receives Door Box chimes, you may also be
able to remotely open and close the entrance door. Ask your
Communications Manager if you have this set up. If you do, after
answering the Door Box chimes you just press your
FLASH key
or a soft key to open the door.
To place a call to the Door Box:
1. Press .
2. Dial the Door Box extension number.
To answer the Door Box chimes (i.e., to answer a call from
the Door Box):
1. Lift handset or press .
If you are an attendant, you’ll need a Call
Coverage key for the Door Box Ring Group to be
able to answer Door Box calls. Check with your
Communications Manager.
If you hear Door Box chimes over the Paging
speakers, you may be able to dial *0 to answer the
Door Box.
