It's an elevator.  If it breaks, people can die.  Please don't hack the
elevator unless you're a certified elevator technician (or whatever
relevant terminology should be applied).

By call button I meant "I'm standing on the first floor, and the
elevator is on the third floor.  I push a button and the elevator moves
to the first floor without anyone else having to do anything."  This
elevator doesn't have them:  the only controls are inside the box.
