Relay Operating Mode
Relays can have various functions on the PBX.
You can configure the following operation modes:

The PBX switches on the relay as soon as an audio connection has been established between the PBX and the assigned device (e.g. an a/b-Audiobox).
The PBX switches the relay off as soon as the audio connection is terminated.
Possible use:
•Switching an LED of the door terminal
•Switching the loudspeaker area of the loudspeaker system for the announcement output
Door opener
The relay is assigned to a door terminal.
The PBX switches on the relay as soon as an internal user triggers door opening for the assigned door terminal.
Alternatively, switching can be triggered manually by phone.
The PBX switches off the relay after the defined switching duration.
