Setup/Verify Network Communication

The Setup/Verify Network Communication section describes the process for configuring the
Doors communication parameters to meet those of the host computer and then verifying that
basic communication is indeed happening between the host computer and all the controllers
on the access control network.

Set Communication Parameters

The following tasks are described in this section. All four tasks must be performed to properly
set the communication parameters.

Set the COM port.

Set the communication speed.

Set the modem parameters (if the access control network requires modems for remote
access).

Save the communication parameters and restart the program to configure Doors.

Set the COM Port

The COM port that is used for communication between the host computer and the access
control network must be identified.
