The Aiphone audio entry station is used to communicate with a person at a entrance panel. When a visitor calls, the tenant station rings and is answered by one touch of the talk button. The Aiphone audio entry station also has the capability of calling the concierge/security guard station, turning on a light while speaking with a visitor at the entrance, receiving an emergency tone from a pull cord or panic call button, and releasing a door. The audio entry station station is designed to be surface mounted, and has a slim streamlined design.
