Kantech Telephone Entry System (KTES) Configuration

The Kantech Telephone Entry System (KTES) is a telephone entry system that is suited for small and large applications with a separate access control system, or in applications that require telephone entry access only. This system provides visitor access control for a variety of applications: apartment buildings, gated communities, condominiums, office buildings, factories, and industrial sites. Visitors use the KTES to communicate directly with a tenant and are easily identified by voice communication. The tenant can grant or deny the visitor access directly from a telephone land line or a cellular phone.

Designed as a stand-alone unit, the system controls one door, auxiliary relay, and supports postal lock access. For larger commercial installations, the KTES integrates with EntraPass through a multi-site Gateway and KT-controllers to provide a complete access control solution. The entire programming of the system can be done directly on the keypad or remotely from a PC via a modem, Ethernet connection or RS-485 interface.

The system reports all events directly to EntraPass, where you can obtain a detailed event log. Additionally, programmed alarms can be reported to a pager and/or to the EntraPass system via an integrated modem. For more information on the KTES, see the KTES Installation Manual, DN1769 and the KTES Programming Manual, DN1770.

Note: For reliability and configuration consistency, Kantech currently supports the US Robotics Sportster external modem only. Even if other type of modem are available, we strongly recommend using the officially supported external US Robotics.
