Programming
Basic Door Box Programming

same Ring Group (1-8). (DSX-40 “built-in” Door Box extensions are 326 and 327.)
- For example, if extensions 301 and 302 should ring for calls from Door Box 309, be sure 301, 302,
and 309 are in the same Ring Group.
- Multiple Door Boxes can be in the same Ring Group.
1. In 2101-04: Door Chime Selection (page 722), set the chime pattern (0-3) for each Door Box extension.
(DSX-40 “built-in” Door Box extensions are 326 and 327.)
- 0 for Normal Ring Group ringing
- 1 for Low pitch chime pattern
- 2 for Mid range chime pattern
