Directory Codes are unique 1-4 digit codes that dial a corresponding telephone number in the building. When a

visitor wishes to contact a resident, the visitor enters the Directory Code on the unit’s keypad. The unit will dial the

phone number assigned to the code. The resident can then talk to the visitor by phone and grant them entry into the

building.

ABOUT DIRECTORY CODES

To Use an Existing Directory Code to Contact a Resident:

Before adding or modifying Directory Codes, answer the following questions:

• Have you chosen the Directory Code number you will assign? This number will be assigned to a resident.

The visitor will enter this number on the unit keypad to prompt the system to dial the resident’s phone

number.

• Do you know the resident’s phone number? The system needs the phone number so it can dial the resident

when prompted. If the resident’s phone has an extension, the unit will need that data as well.

• Will the resident want a Do Not Disturb schedule? If the resident doesn’t want to be disturbed during

certain times, you can configure his/her Directory Code with a Do Not Disturb schedule. During this

schedule, visitors won’t be able to call the resident. See page 31.

• Will the resident utilize a Call Forwarding number during certain times? Perhaps the manager of an

apartment complex wants the leasing office phone number forwarded to an answering service after 5pm on

weekdays and all day on weekends. See page 31 for more information.

• Will you activate or deactivate the Directory Code at a certain day and time? You may assign a Directory

Code to a resident and delay its use until a day and time you specify. Also you can deactivate the Directory

Code on a specified day and time. See page 32.

• For units with an LCD display, you can control how the tenant’s name is displayed on the screen. See page

33.
