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.
