To configure the welcome banner on the EntraGuard LCD display and program the phone commands used by the tenants to unlock the front door, you must modify the sample EntraGuardConfig.xml file provided with your product package.

Before you begin

Familiarize yourself with the structure of the EntraGuardConfig.xml file.
