Advanced Features
The Doors program is capable of several advanced features that expand the program’s
capabilities.
• multiple site control
• I/O control: linked and manual operation of inputs and outputs
Multiple Site Control
The multiple site feature allows a number of access control networks to be managed by the
Doors program; all via modem. The host computer and each site must have a modem allowing
communication between the host computer and each site.
When the sites feature is enabled, a number of windows throughout the Doors program are
modified and the supporting databases are changed, adding the necessary hooks to support all
sites.
Once the sites feature is enabled, the changes made are permanent. They cannot be reversed.
New sites can be added one-at-a-time; each independent from each other (no crossover of
cardholders between sites), or any combination of interaction between sites can be made
(cardholders can be assigned to a number of sites).
This section describes the following.
• The process for enabling the remote sites feature.
• The process for entering site related information.
• The process for adding a new site to the system.
• The differences in database entry and program operation.

The Multiple Sites: Sites ON check box is used to enable the multiple sites feature (see Figure
