      CONVERT OLDER SYSTEMS TO CURRENT TECHNOLOGY
      Telecommunication companies are switching to a fiber and digital infrastructure which will make programming Telephone Entry Systems via modem communications a challenge – if not impossible. Existing Telephone Entry Systems can be easily retrofitted and updated to a cellular connection with DKS Cellular. In addition to the benefits of 4G LTE service, DKS Cellular saves money in two ways. 1) There’s no need to replace an existing Telephone Entry System, and 2) The monthly cost of the DKS Cellular service is typically half the cost of a business telephone line. With the DKS Cellular Retrofit there’s no digging or trenching – just plug it in and activate the service.

      • Voice communication is provided over the POTS line. This service is useful if your programming PC does not have a modem, or if your modem cannot communicate with the entry system modem.*
      • Compatible with DKS 1830  and Access Plus series telephone entry systems only.
      • Monthly fees depend on the number of residents in the system database.
      • DoorKing maintains the right to determine excessive usage (data transfers) at any time and may require you to reduce your usage (data transfers). Failure to comply may result in service termination.

        * 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.

        Note 1.  Not applicable if Cable or Fiber is a cloud based telephone service.
