DoorKing 1838 Multi-Door Access Controller - Manual (Page 25)

SECTION 3 – PROGRAMMING
IMPORTANT! Many of the advanced features available with this access control system cannot be
programmed from the system keypad. These features include relay hold open time zones, security
levels, anti-pass back tables, elevator control options and programming via the internet using the
Internet Modem (IM) Server. If any of these features are used, the system must be programmed with
the DoorKing Remote Account Manager for Windows software, VERSION 6.3.b or higher. Refer to
the software help screen for more information on these features.
We strongly suggest that you read these programming instructions in their entirety before beginning
any programming of this access control system.
3.1 GENERAL PROGRAMMING INFORMATION
The DoorKing PC Programmable Access Control System is primarily programmed by using the
DoorKing Remote Account Manager for Windows software. However, the system can also be
programmed from the keypad in the control cabinet. When programming from an off site location with
a PC, the RING pin must be installed on the circuit board.
The PC programmable access control system has three (3) 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 relays. The wiegand input auxiliary terminals (also the
Tracker board input terminals) will cause R-1 or R-2 to activate. Therefore, if Tracker expansion
boards are used with this system, R-1 and R-2 are 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). Relay 0 is phone controlled when the 1838 has a
C.O. phone line connected to it.
3.1.1 Programming with a PC
Prior to programming the system with a PC 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 23 to set-up the access control system
for PC programming. Programming can be with a PC by modem, RS-232, RS-422 (requires 1508-
055 adapters), a LAN connection (requires 1830-175 TCP/IP kit) or via the internet using the Internet
Modem Server (use of the IM Server is fee based. Visit
http://www.doorking.com/IMServer for more
information).
