Telephone Entry System Remote Programmer for Android

Program your Telephone Entry System remotely (off-site) using your phone.

Most Telephone Entry Systems can be programmed from the front keypad, or remotely from an off-premise location using any touch-tone phone. TES Remote Programmer streamlines the often cumbersome remote programming process by providing data entry screens and automated dial-in options.

By default, TES Remote Programmer is configured to work with the DoorKing (DKS) 1802 and 1802-EPD systems, additional configurations can be created for most systems supporting remote programming.

Usage

In the main activity screen enter the entry system's phone number and master code, then select one the programming options.

In the programming activity screen fill out the fields and click the floating button (if available) to dial the programming in or the floating button to scroll through the manual (keypad) steps.

Configurations

To switch configuration, choose Configurations under the toolbar menu and select the desired configured.

To import a new configuration, select Import in the Configurations dialog.

New Configurations

Custom configurations can be created using JSON.

Parameters

First defined the global parameters:

"params": {
  "name": "DKS 1802-EPD",
  "star": "*",
  "hash": "#",
  "end": "0 + #",
  "size": 4
}

Parameter	Description	Required
`name`	The configuration name.	Yes
`star`	The key used to start, acknowledge or terminate programming steps. Most systems use the `*` key.	Yes
`hash`	They key used to in place of numbers when applicable. Most system use the `#` key	No
`end`	The end programming manual sequence. For example DoorKing uses `0` and `#` pressed together.	No
`size`	The size (number of digits) of the master code. Most systems use 4 or 5.	Yes

Options

Second defined options. These defined the data used to create programming activity screens in the app.

For example, the system's manual would list the steps to Programming 7-digit Phone Numbers as something like:

Press *01 and enter Master Code.
Enter a Directory Code then press *.
Enter a 7-digit Phone Number then press *.
Press 0# TOGETHER when finished.

which would translate into:

"opts": [
  {
    "title": "Add 7-digit Phone Number",
    "fields": [
      {
        "hint": "Directory Code",
        "size": 3
      },
      {
        "hint": "Phone Number",
        "size": 7,
        "hash": true
      }
    ],
    "dtmf": "*01[MASTER],[FIELD:1]*,[FIELD:2]*"
  }
]

Elements	Description
`title`	The title of the option.
`fields`	See fields
`dtmf`	See DTMF
`nodial`	Indicate thar remote programming is not available. Steps must be executed at the keypad.

All are required, except nodial

Fields

"fields": [
  {
    "hint": "Directory Code",
    "size": 3
  },
  {
    "hint": "Phone Number",
    "size": 7,
    "hash": true
  }
]

Fields represent the data entry text fields on option screens.

Element	Description	Required
`hint`	Set the hint/label of the field.	Yes
`size`	Set the required size of the field.	Yes
`min`	Set the minimum value of a numeric field.	No
`max`	Set the maximum value of a numeric field.	No
`alpha`	Set to `true` if the field is alphanumeric.	No
`hash`	Set to `true` if the field accept the (#Parameters) `hash` value in place of a digit.	No

DTMF

"dtmf": "*01[MASTER],[FIELD:1]*,[FIELD:2]*"

DTMF represent the dialing sequence for the programming steps. A comma (,) can be used to specify a pause in the dialing sequence.

The following markers will be substituted by their actual values upon dialing.

Marker	Description
`[MASTER]`	Substituted with the Master Code
`[FIELD:X]`	Substituted with the field's value, where X is the field number in the array.

Validation

Imported configurations will be validated. While the validation is not perfect, it should be good enough to spot most syntax errors.

Please sure to use a JSON editor to make the whole process of creating configurations a whole lot easier.

When in doubt be sure to look at the default configuration.
