DoorKing Remote Account Manager - Manual (Page 23)

2.3 Communication Port Configuration
If you are using a modem, the Port Config tab in the Program Configuration window is provided if you need to
enter any special modem setup strings that may be applicable to your modem (refer to the manual that came
with your modem). If you are using a DK IM Server for programming, there is a Test DK IM Server Connection
button that will verify that your computer will connect to the DoorKing server. If you are using the DK IM Server,
you will need to register as a user (see 2.3.2).
IMPORTANT: If using a LAN method to connect, you must have a TCP/IP kit (P/N 1830-175) installed on
the access system control board.
NOTE: Typically, you will not need to make any adjustments to your port configuration, and therefore no changes
need to be made. You should only make adjustments in these settings if you are experiencing problems in
communicating with the entry system.

circuit boards, REV M (or higher) for 1833, 1834, 1835,
