There are two types of door phone 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 box and door opener. See“Door Box Adaptor 
(Extension Port)” on page 5-31 for more information.

Each Door Box Adaptor (VB-43701) can be used to connect one door sensor 
and up to two Door Boxes (VA-43705) equipped with door openers.  Door 
openers and door sensors are not sold by Panasonic; they can be purchased 
separately from an electronics dealer.

• A door sensor is similar to an alarm; different types of sensors detect 

different things, such as a door opening, moisture, heat, etc.  When the 
sensor is tripped, a trunk rings on a dedicated key.  You can reset the 
“alarm” by answering the key.

• To set up a sensor, assign a trunk to ring at a phone, and then assign that 

trunk to an FF key.

• Each sensor uses one trunk port.

• Door Boxes and door openers work together.  The Door Box allows 

visitors to announce their presence from outside the office.  The door 
opener enables a user to unlock the door using a telephone.

• To set up the Door Box and opener, assign a trunk to ring at a phone and 

then assign that trunk to an FF key.

• When a visitor is announced from the Door Box, the user presses the 

ringing FF key to answer the call.  Then, to open the door, the user dials 3.

• The door opener can be set to open the door for 15 seconds, 30 seconds, or 

one minute.

• Up to two Door Boxes with openers can be connected to a Door Box 

Adaptor.

• Each Door Box and opener use one trunk port.
