The BST Doorphone is used as an intercom device to control access to your building. It provides
call notification and handsfree communication from a site entry location to assigned telephones on
the BCM system.
Note: Door opening capabilities are available with a Door Opening Controller (DOC).

DN configuration requirements for the BST Doorphone
You can set up the DN record prior to a hardware installation, or you can install the hardware
before you configure the DN record. If you install the hardware first, Element Manager will
automatically detect the BST Doorphone and list it in the Active DNs table.
Note: Some default DN settings can cause the BST Doorphone to automatically answer
incoming calls that are not intended to be heard over the BST Doorphone. For detailed
information about all DN settings, refer to your BCM Configuration Guide.
Creating a BST Doorphone DN record
Follow these steps to create a DN record for the BST Doorphone.

Chapter 3
BST Doorphone Installation
The BST Doorphone can be mounted in a standard recessed double-gang electrical box for flush
mounting or surface mounted using the optional surface mount bracket. Mount the BST
Doorphone at shoulder height (approximately 5 ft.) in the absence of other specifications, such as
compliance with local handicapped access regulations, if required.
Select a location for the BST Doorphone within 300 m (1000 ft.) of the BCM system. This
distance can be increased to 780 m (2600 ft.) with the connection of a Station Auxiliary Power
Supply (SAPS) to a BST Doorphone.
The BST Doorphone is suitable for exposure to weather; however, care must be taken to ensure
holes or recesses provided for the BST Doorphone are properly sealed to prevent water from
entering the wall in exposed locations. Gaskets are supplied for both flush and wall mount
installations. No gasket is required between the BST Doorphone and surface mount bracket.
Caution: You must install protection devices when wiring between the BST Doorphone
and the BCM system is routed outside a building, such as aerial or buried cable. Protection
devices must be installed at each end of the exposed cable. Nortel recommends the ITW
LINX MP1A-90-27 secondary protector for this purpose.

Note: BST Doorphone connections
are polarity insensitive.

Fasten the BST Doorphone’s faceplate to the main housing assembly.
Note: When the surface mount bracket is used, secure the wiring with a cable tie through the
round holes in the rear of the surface mount bracket or electrical box (customer supplied),
before fastening the BST Doorphone’s faceplate to the main housing assembly.

Initialize a new BST Doorphone
The system automatically recognizes the BST Doorphone once it is installed and connected. Use
the following commands, to refresh the Element Manager view in order for the BST Doorphone to
appear in the Active Sets panel.
• In Element Manager, click on the IP address in the Network Elements pane. Go to the top
menu and select View > Refresh. Element Manager refreshes and the allows BST Doorphones
to appear in the system.
The BST Doorphone will identify itself to the system as a Doorphone.
Note: The Call button’s backlight automatically turns on when the
BST Doorphone is connected to a station module port on the
✙
system. The backlight is useful in low light conditions.

Call button
Optional Equipment
The Door Opening Controller (DOC) operates through a BST Doorphone to provide door opening
control. The DOC receives data from the BST Doorphone, that is compared against a dip-switch
set code for activation.
The DOC provides convenient control of locked mechanisms but is not intended for sole building
entry security. In high security environments, backup systems should be used for added protection.
Power failure, device failure, wiring faults and unauthorized equipment access can all contribute to
a failed locked or unlocked situation.
For more information on the DOC, refer to documentation provided with the DOC unit.

Testing the BST Doorphone
You can perform the following tasks to test the Doorphone settings:
• Press the Call button on the BST Doorphone and ensure the Target DN telephone rings.
• Let the Target DN telephone ring until the call is automatically disconnected. Ensure that a page
tone followed by the Doorphone’s distinctive chime is heard at specified telephones included in
the Doorphone’s page zone.
• To establish a voice path, dial the BST Doorphone’s DN from any telephone on the system, or
press the Call button on the BST Doorphone and answer the ringing call at the Target DN
telephone.
• If installed, test the DOC as shown below:
— Press the Call button on the BST Doorphone and answer the call at the Target DN
telephone.
NN40010-302
Chapter 4 Configuring BST Doorphone settings 17
— To open the door, dial the single digit code (specified in Doorphone programming) or on a
two-line display telephone, press the OPEN display button.
— Press the release button or hang up to end the test.
Doorphone configuration tips
• The Doorphone’s Target DN telephone should be assigned to the same page zone that is used by
the Doorphone for paging (chime presentation).
• The Doorphone can ring several telephones on the system using Answer DNs. Program one or
more telephones to have a Ringing Answer button for the Target DN telephone.
— For example, the Target DN telephone is DN 230. Assign DN 230 as an Answer DN for
extensions 223, 224 and 225. When the BST Doorphone Call button is pressed, four
telephones on the system will ring (telephones: 230, 222, 223 and 225).
For more information on Answer DNs and assigning telephones to page zones, refer to your BCM
Configuration Guide.
