5.1.2 Receive Data Now

The receive data feature is basically the opposite of the send all data feature. Instead of the computer sending

data to the entry system, the entry system sends the data to the computer to update the computer files. This

feature is useful for auditing or trouble shooting purposes.

Caution should be used when using this feature because your resident files will be updated with the information

stored in the entry system. We recommend that you create a new "receive account" to receive the information

into. This will keep the received files separate from the original account files. After viewing the information

received, you could then delete these files or use these files by simply deleting the original account and then

renaming the "receive account" to the proper account name.

Before using the receive data feature, you must be sure that your "receive account" system information matches

the system information of the entry system that you are going to receive data from. This includes the master

code, memory size, card usage, entry system phone number, and single or multiple systems on the phone line.

1. Click the REC DATA NOW button and select the account that you want to receive data into, then

click OK (Fig 55). A window will appear warning you that existing account information will be

overwritten and will give you the option to continue or abort. If you have not created a new "receive

data" account, we suggest that you do so before continuing, otherwise click the YES button.

2. Once you click the Yes button, the Receive Data window will appear and the software will initiate

communications. Click the MINIMIZE button during the data transfer to allow you to continue with

other work on your computer while the data transfer is taking place. Do not exit the DoorKing

program during a data transfer (sending or receiving), otherwise the transfer will stop and your data

will be incomplete.
