Overview

DoorKing’s IM Server^{(Pat. 9,049,306)} offers the easiest ways to connect your PC to a 1830 Series entry system for data or voice/data transfer.

IM Server Internet Advantage:

IM Server Internet is used with the 1830-186 TCP/IP adapter installed at the entry system. This adapter allows for an internet connection at the entry system which can be used for data transfer and voice communication via a VoIP provider, or it can be used for data transfers only if a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Servcie) line is connected to the entry system. The 1830-186 used with the IM Server Internet is a Plug & Play device making the connection trouble free and automatic! IM Server fees do apply.

No IP addresses to worry about
No Port Forwarding to worry about
No Firewalls to worry about
No special programming
No new hardware to install

IM Server Modem Advantage:

IM Server Modem links your computer’s internet connection to the modem inside the 1830 series entry system automatically! This connection is then used for data transfers between your PC and the entry system, while voice communication is via the POTS line installed at the entry system. IM Server fees do apply. NOTE: DoorKing does not recommend using a POTS line for programming. DoorKing can no longer guarantee modem connections as some phone company services and switches no longer support modem communications since these devices are considered to be obsolete technology. The telephone line must support G.711 level service for the modem to work. Modem communications will not work over cellular or VoIP connections.
