When connected to a PBX

Connecting to a PBX allows you to answer door calls using additional machines.

Please use only a Panasonic PBX (page 9).

LIf you answer a call from the door station with a PBX extension, the camera image from the door station will be displayed at the monitor station. If the monitor station user tries to answer the call, a beep will sound. The display will turn off when the conversation has ended or when the conversation continued for more than about 3 minutes.

LIf you answer a call from the door station with the monitor station, the call will continue to ring at the extension for about 15 to 30 seconds. If the extension user answers the call while the call is still ringing, the door station user, the monitor station user, and the extension user can speak together.

L{AUTO} mode (page 32) will not function when a door station call is answered by an extension user.

When connected to a door (Door Opener)

Connecting to a door allows you to open the door using the monitor station (page 35).
