OVERVIEW
The Network Door Controller connects to the router (see note 2) on your network and to your electrically operated interior
door. When a person completes the check-in process, the door circuit receives a signal to buzz the door open.
NOTE 1: The Door Controller is an IPV4 device supporting APIPA, DHCP, and static IP addressing.
NOTE 2: If connecting to your router is not feasible, see article
WHEN TO USE / BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The Network Door Controller is for use when:
a. A parent or other authorized pickup person checks children in at a check-in computer. You MUST install the Procare client
software on your check-in computer first, because you'll need the Procare Check-In program running to set the options
needed for the Door Controller.
b. A staff person uses the Receptionist feature to check children in on behalf of the pickup person. In this case, a check-in
computer is not necessary. Settings for the Door Controller are accessed from your Procare Home screen.
