2.2 Programming Methods
The 1838 Access Plus can be programmed from a computer, the system keypad or from a touch-tone
telephone connected to the system. We highly recommend programming the 1838 Access Plus from
a computer using the DoorKing Management Software as this greatly simplifies the programming
task. There are also several features in the 1838 Access Plus system that must be setup using a
computer.
The following features and programming parameters can only be programmed from a computer.
Strike Out: This feature can be turned ON or OFF and will set the number of invalid access
codes allowed before the system shuts down for a period of time. The default is OFF.
Holiday Schedules: Program up to 31 different Holiday schedules. This feature can be turned
ON or OFF. The default is OFF.
Email Notification: Set the 1838 to send emails to a specified email address on events of your
choice (Requires an Internet connection). This feature can be turned ON or OFF. The default is
OFF.
Transaction Log: Download and view the system transaction log.
 Computer (PC’s only)
This is the preferred method of programming the 1838 Access Plus as it will simplify all of the
programming steps and allow you to enjoy all of the features and benefits available with this
system. The 1838 Management software must be installed on your computer and the 1838
must be connected to the computer via one of the methods shown in section 1.8 or 1.9.
Refer to the 1838 software help screens for more information.
 Keypad
We strongly recommend that you become familiar with the entire programming sequence
before attempting to program some of the more complex features of this system using the
system keypad. If you make a single error in the programming steps, you will have to re-do
the sequence from the beginning.
 Touch-Tone Telephone
The programmable features that can be programmed using the system keypad can also be
programmed using a touch-tone telephone connected to the 1838 through a Central Office
phone line. This method of programming is useful for programming simple steps or for
turning certain features ON or OFF, but is not recommended for complex programming steps.
