Hi Chiu,I dont succeed making comfort call my cell when away mode and someone ringing at the doorphone.I tested the "calling my cell" function ( phone numbers initiate test). My cell gets the call.I run the "Door chime" response (from comfigurator). It does ring bell ok, does send the sms I added to the response. I am confused with the "activate doorphone" the response includes. I guess it is the function that brings the doorphone and the keyapd together. In security mode it works. In away, I cannot say. Is "activate doorphone" the instruction that connects the doorphone to the cellphone?I checked the above recommendations. What else should I check to get this cellphone connected to the doorphone in away mode?Thank you |

I believe you have to go into Alarms, Phone numbers and make sure that the number you are using is asigned as phone. Also I cant see it on the screen shot you sent but are you working in engineering mode as the "Alarms" is not showing? |

Yes, Alarm Types > Doorbell as shown in the screenshot is the way to dial out when doorbell is presed in Away Mode. In above screem it will dial to phones 1 and 2 (which are programmed in Phone numbers "Door chime" response gives a ding dong sound on the keypad You dont need to use any responses |

Thanks for the tips. Yes I guess my problem came from having twice a user with same phone numbers , one vith voice, one with sms. When I cut the call on my cell, after being in dialog with the doorphone, I hear the cell phone busy tone on the door phone. Is there a way to avoid this tone to be heard on the doorphone? The visitor can understand that there is no one at home. |

The problem is that it takes a few seconds to detect that the called partyu has hung up the call so the tones have to be heard. |
