The ProVu team have now officially ditched their front door keys as a result of updating the door entry phone with the new Protalk RFID unit.All members of staff can now use their RFID tags to gain access to the building. A door release button has also been fitted to exit the building.
The RFID unit is connected to electromagnetic door release locks enabling staff to enter without the need of a key.
In an instance where a visitor needs to be let in, a member of staff can simply type a pre-defined key sequence into their phone keypad to release the door locks.

There are several ways a snom phone can get Caller ID Name for an inbound call.
The first is from the Invite message of the inbound call from the sending SIP end-point. If a "Name" part of the Caller ID exists then this will be used by the Snom phone to display the name on the screen.
The phone can also get a name from it's internal address book or an LDAP server if one is configured. However, it will only use this if there is no "Name" part of the Caller ID in the incoming Invite.
If you want to change this behaviour set this setting in the Snom phone's web interface:
To "off". Then an internal address book or LDAP server will take precedence.

With the huge amount of interest we are seeing in our IP Door Entry systems we are pleased to bring you this dedicated product update with news on:
This new Slim IP Door entry model features an in-built RFID reader that enables authorised personnel to gain access to a building or office by simply presenting an RFID tag or card up to the unit.
It is a really neat all in one system that eliminates the need for every one to have to speak with some one on the inside in order to gain access to the building.
Of course normal visitors will simply press the single button below the RFID reader and speak with a receptionist or other person within the building. They can then allow visitors access in the normal way by tapping the default release code into their IP phone.
