SECTION 3 – PROGRAMMING

IMPORTANT! Many of the advanced features available with this telephone entry system cannot be programmed from the system keypad. These features include relay hold open time zones, security levels, and elevator control options. If any of these features are used, the system must be programmed with the DoorKing Remote Account Manager for Windows software, VERSION 5.0. Refer to the software User's Manual for more information on these features.

We strongly suggest that you read these programming instructions in their entirety before beginning any programming of this telephone entry system.

3.1 GENERAL PROGRAMMING INFORMATION

The DoorKing PC Programmable Telephone Entry System is primarily programmed by using the DoorKing Remote Account Manager for Windows software and the user supplied PC by either RS- 232 connection or by modem, however it can also be programmed from the keypad on the front of the entry system. When programming from an off site location with a PC, the RING pin must be installed on the circuit board.

The PC programmable telephone entry systems have three relays on the circuit board, all of which are programmable for any function required. These relays are designated as Relay 0 (R-0), Relay 1 (R-1), and Relay 2 (R-2). If Tracker expansion boards are used with this system, it is very important that you understand the function of these three relays. The weigand input auxiliary terminals (also the Tracker board input terminals) can only cause R-1 or R-2 to activate. Weigand input devices cannot cause R-0 to activate. Therefore, if Tracker expansion boards are used with this system, R-0 must be designated as the PRIMARY relay, and R-1 and R-2 are then designated as Tracker board command (CMD) relays with R-2 controlling tracker boards 1 through 8 (system relays 3-10), and R-1 controlling tracker boards 9 through 16 (system relays 11-18). The PRIMARY relay is the relay that a resident activates from their telephone after receiving a call from a visitor. When tracker boards or other weigand devices are used with the system, be sure that R-0 is programmed to respond to the tone open number (typically 9), the postal switch input, and the rotary dial 9 function.

Refer to the Remote Account Manager User's Manual for more information on Tracker board relay numbering scheme and designations.

3.1.1 Programming with a PC

Prior to programming the system with a personal computer and the DoorKing Remote Account Manager for Windows software, there is certain information that you must know and must program into the system before the computer can communicate with the system. See page 24 to set-up the telephone entry system for PC programming. Programming the system with a PC may be accomplished either by modem or by direct connection using the RS-232 communications terminal on the circuit board. Using the RS-232 communications terminal will require the use of a cable with a DB-9 connector on one end (DoorKing P/N 1818-040), and the DoorKing Remote Account Manager for Windows software VERSION 5.0.
