Enterphone installation complete, August 7, 2026

by

Omicron started a bit late, but finished installing the new enterphones in all three buildings right on schedule.

A few items to note:

  • Programming on all enterphones should be complete and matches what was in the system before
  • Unit numbers are not shown, as before, just buzzer codes
  • You can now buzz a unit by just tapping on the name, no need to enter the buzzer code
  • On the other end, a recording will play giving the owner/resident options. To buzz someone in, you now press the asterisk key (*), not the number zero (0)
  • I do not know what “PIN unlock” does

I’m assuming Omicron will provide more information on the operation of the units. I will post any new information if I get it.

Minor delay in Enterphone replacement–work today on Building 240 (Aug. 6, 2026)

UPDATE: The 240 building enterphone replacement is complete, see photo below.

It has a light!

The previously announced schedule for Enterphone replacement was:

  • Building 240: Aug. 5
  • Building 244: Aug. 6
  • Building 248: Aug. 7

However, Omicron was not onsite yesterday. I can confirm the 240 building Enterphone is being replaced as I type this, so they appear to be one day behind schedule. I’m not sure how this will affect Buildings 244 and 248.

I’ll update this post if I get more information.

NOTE: Fobs will continue to work normally while the Enterphone is being replaced, so entering a building will work as normal for residents. Each Enterphone is estimated to be out of service for about eight hours while being replaced.

Notes:

  • The closure of pedestrian access to Allen Street is expected to last one week, per Prostar. As the closure and notice of the closure were given the same day, it was not possible to get advance word out to owners and other residents.

You shall not pass. For about one week.
