Front Desk Units - Using and Programming
Steps to transfer data to another FDU:
1. Label the two Front Desk Units to differentiate the one that must receive the data
(new) from the one that must send the data (old or Master FDU).
2. As a property may have previous versions of Kaba's FDU system as well as the new
generation model different types of cables may be required for the FDU to FDU
transfer. If the version of FDU is unknown please contact Kaba Technical Support.
Based on the table below, connect the required FDU to FDU communication cable to
the Serial Port on the rear panel of each Front Desk Unit.
