[Asterisk-Users] External relay triggered by Asterisk extension-question

[C F]

I just finnished a setup where I had the follwoing:

35 SIP phones.
2 TDM400 Cards with 8 FXO modules.
An account by a VOIP provider for incoming/outgoing calls.
Using private lines we connected 4 locations using DSL and T1.
In each location we have a Bogen PCM 2000 Paging module
(http://www.bogen.com/products/telephonepaging/) to do paging/night
ring using either an FXO port (in the location where the * bos is
located), or a SIP ATA.
In each location we have a VikingElectronics C-2000
(http://www.vikingelectronics.com/) for door/gate opening, connected
to either an FXO port, or a SIP ATA.
Both the viking and the bogen allow you for relays to be hooked up.
With the viking you can do using the door strike up to four relays,
each configureable in different ways.
BTW, Valcom (http://www.valcom.com/) also makes door openers. Just for
the relay option, Viking has some better models.
Hope this helps.
