Door Boxes (also called door phones) and door openers work together. The 
door box is an intercom that allows visitors to announce their presence from 
the office door.  The door opener enables a user to unlock the door using a 
telephone.  Door openers are not sold by Panasonic; they can be purchased 
separately from an electronics dealer.

There are two types of door box adaptors available for the DBS. The first type 
(VB-43701) utilizes a trunk connection to connect to the door box and is 
described below. The second type (VB-43711) utilizes a digital port extension 
to connect to the door phone and door opener. See “Door Box (Using 
Extension Adaptor)” on page 3-25 for more information.

1.  Answer the door box. (Door Box calls ring in on a dedicated FF key.)
