[asterisk-users] Door Phone

[FiNKu]

Hi there,
I'm new to this list, so sorry if this has already been asked before
[hopefully this is the correct list too!].

I'm in the process of building my asterisk system. I've set up a CentOS
machine, together with Cisco 7912 phone over SIP. I can make and receive
calls from outside over my TDM400 card [2 FXO ports], everything works fine.
My next project is to integrate or rebuild an intercom system which would
let me answer whoever rings the bell from over my SIP enabled phones. During
a recent refurbishment I've already laid cat5e cable all around my home, all
of the cabling was then patched over a patch panel in a central location (my
server sits there); so preferably I would need to used cat5e, since I've
already prepared 2 points near my door.

My current video intercom would consist of something basic like this [

current system there, but still have audio going to asterisk, and being able
to send an open door command from asterisk. Since I'me not getting video
phones, I would like to leave the option of the current video intercom as it
is.

Can someone please point me to what I need to get and in a generic point
form [no need to write a full how-to] let me know what I need to do.

Kind Regards,

FiNKu
