Door Phone(s)
Door phones can be used to call digital/electronic telephones selected in system 
programming. When a door phone calls, you hear a distinctive ringing tone, one or 
five times (set in system programming). You can also call a door phone and monitor 
the surrounding area.
The number of possible door phones vary by Strata DK system, with up to 12 as the 
maximum for larger systems.
LCD telephones display the door phone ID when calls are 
made to/from door phones (e.g., door phone 1A). The ID 
enables you to know the door phone [DN]. For example, door 
phone 1A corresponds to Door Phone [DN] 
##, 1B to #, etc. Door phone IDs 
and the corresponding [DNs] are shown in Ta b l e  6.
