     FIELD 
     The present invention relates to door system installation, set-up, and cloning for multisystem installation, and more particularly, to utilizing one or more sensors to determine proper installation of the door system, utilizing wired or wireless communication to set up the operating parameters and/or to clone the operating parameters for multiple door systems, and notifying a user of sensor data related to the installation or operation of the door system. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Door systems may include door operators, door closers, or other like systems that control or aids in the operation of opening and/or closing a door. A door operator is a device that is able to open and/or close a door or other barrier, or that aids in opening and/or closing a door or other barrier. Door operators typically include a motor that is connected to a door via a linkage to control motion of the door. Door operators come in a variety of styles and configurations. Alternatively, door closers may only be used to close a door or aid in closing a door. Door closers may have may also have motors, springs, or other features for closing a door. In existing door systems, the doors are installed, the operating parameters are set in order to meet operating requirements set by governmental authorities, standards bodies, entities that purchased the door systems, or the like. While the operating parameters may be set by the installer after installation, it is difficult for installers to determine that the door system is meeting the installation and/or operating requirements. 
     SUMMARY 
     In some embodiments a door system comprises a controller for controlling at least one operating parameter of the door system. A user computer system (e.g., a mobile device, such as a smartphone, remote control, and/or the like) may communicate with the controller over a wireless interface directly or indirectly. Alternatively, or additionally, a user may communicate with the controller through inputs and/or output devices on the door system. A drive system, including a motor assembly, drive train, and/or other components, is controlled by the controller where the drive system operates under the at least one operating parameter. The door systems may be door operators, door closers, or other like systems for controlling the operation of a door. As such, it should be understood that when describing features or functions related to a door operator, the same or similar features or functions may relate to a door closer or other systems that control the operation of a door. Consequently, when discussing a door operator, the phrase door operator may be substituted with door closer, which may operate in the same or similar way. 
     The controller of the door system may comprise a processor for operating the controller and communicating with other components of the controller and/or door system. The controller may also comprise a memory for storing instructions and data, such as the instructions and data for operating the door system. The controller may further comprise a communication interface for allowing communication with the controller and/or between the components of the controller and/or the door system. The communication interface may be a wireless communication interface that may use at least one of WiFi, Bluetooth, BLE, z-wave, Zigbee, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, LTE, WPAN, WirelessHD, WiGig, NFC protocols, and/or any other protocols, including any custom protocol. The controller may receive an authentication code or employ an authentication mechanism for allowing access to and/or changing the operation of the door system. The wireless communication interface may operate over short or long range, and such ranges may be adjustable to limit access to the door systems. The wireless communication interface may be on at all times, or it may require an action with respect to an input of the controller, such as activation using a physical input (e.g., key, button, touchscreen, or other like selection) to enable wireless capability of the controller. The controller may act as a server with user interfaces (e.g. web pages, application interfaces, or the like) accessible over the wireless communication interface. The user interfaces can be used for setup, diagnostics, input and output programming, settings, etc. The controller may collect data for tracking, mapping, sensors, communication with other devices, alerts/notifications of door activity, performance, maintenance, faulty accessories, installation, or the like. The wireless interface and/or the control of the door systems may allow for the transfer of operating parameters of one door system to another door system directly between door systems and/or through the use of user computer systems. The wireless communication interface may be used to communicate with other systems for various features/functions such as vestibule, door interlock systems, HVAC control, door synchronization, or the like. The wireless communication interface may be used to communicate with other devices such as locks, exit devices, wall plates, sensors, access control/security systems, or the like. The door systems may comprise one or more inputs devices (e.g., toggle switches, touch screen, ports, or the like) for providing control features (e.g., on/off switches, entering characters, other parameters, or the like). The inputs devices (e.g., switches, or the like) can be used for standard functionality and/or turning wireless capability on and off. The door systems may further comprise sensors (e.g., accelerometers, force detectors, strain detectors, or the like) for additional data collection. For example, an accelerometer may detect an orientation of the door system where the accelerometer communicates with the controller or a force detection sensor that detects the force required to close or open a door where the force detection sensor communicates with the controller. 
     In some embodiments a door set up system (e.g., door operator set up system, door closer set up system, or the like) comprises a controller for controlling at least one operating parameter (e.g., for opening, closing, setting up, and/or trouble shooting) of the door system. A wireless interface may allow for communication (e.g., directly or indirectly) between the controller and a user computer system over an air interface. A drive system may be controlled by the controller where the drive system operates under the at least one operating parameter. A user computer system may communicate with the wireless communication interface through a wireless connection over a network. 
     The user computer system may communicate with the controller using at least one of a WiFi, Bluetooth, BLE, z-wave, Zigbee, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, LTE, WPAN, WirelessHD, WiGig, NFC protocols, and/or any other protocols, including any custom protocol. The drive system may comprise a motor assembly, including a motor, controlled by the at least one operating parameter. 
     In some embodiments a method of operating a door system comprises utilizing a controller and/or a user computer system to operate a drive system based on one or more operating parameters. The method may comprise establishing a wireless connection, directly or indirectly, between the controller and the user computer system; receiving at least one operating parameter of the door system at the controller over the wireless connection; saving the at least one operating parameter; and controlling the drive system using the at least one operating parameter. The method may comprise receiving an action through an input device at the controller before establishing the wireless connection. The method may further comprise utilizing an authentication mechanism at the controller before establishing the wireless connection. The wireless communication interface may operate over short or long range, which may be set and/or established by a user. The door system may further comprise receiving a signal at the controller from a sensor that senses an installation condition of the door operator. 
     During installation of the door system one or more sensors may be utilized in order to determine if the door system has been installed properly and meets any installation requirements (e.g., orientation requirements, operating requirements, or the like) set by any entity, as will be described herein in further detail. The door system may be operatively coupled to one or more sensors (e.g., sensors that may be used for orientation, operation, or the like, such as accelerometers, force sensors, or the like). As such, the one or more sensors may be located within the door system or located outside of the door system, and moreover, may or may not be removable (e.g., may be permanently coupled with the door system or may be removable from the door system). Consequently, the one or more sensors may remain a part of the door system or may be removed after installation and testing. 
     The one or more sensors may be used to identify if the door system is mounted level (e.g., with respect to a horizontal and/or vertical orientation) and/or plum (e.g., parallel) with respect to the door, the door frame, the wall, or the like. Moreover, the one or more sensors may be utilized to determine if the door system accelerates the door open and/or closed in accordance with the desired operating parameters. Furthermore, the one or more sensors may be utilized to determine if the door system was properly installed based on the vibration of the door system and/or components thereof as the door system operates to open and/or close the door. Additionally, the door system may be utilized in order to determine the force required to open and/or the close the door in order to determine if the door system, door, door frame, hinges, thresholds, or the like were properly installed and/or if any of the forgoing or components thereof are increasing the force required to open and/or close the door in a way that is outside of the installation requirements. It should be further understood that the one or more sensors may also be utilized to identify any installation issues (e.g., in the door system, or other components of the door assembly) and correct such issues by removing components (e.g., thresholds, hinges, or the like), disengaging components (e.g., linkages, or the like), and/or adjusting components (e.g., aligning hinges, linkages, or the like) and retesting the door operation using the one or more sensors in order to meet the installation requirements. 
     During installation of a door system, or at any point thereafter, the operating parameters of the installed door system, may be cloned and provided to other door systems. As will be described in further detail herein, operating parameters from one or more primary door systems (e.g., a single door system or multiple door systems) may be accessed and cloned (e.g., copied, or the like) in order to quickly and effectively set up secondary door systems (e.g., a single secondary door system or multiple secondary door systems). It should be understood that as used herein with respect to the door systems, “primary” and “secondary” means different door systems, such that the operating parameters of at least one door system are being cloned for use with at least one other door system (e.g., any door system may be a primary and/or secondary door system depending on the door system from which the operating parameters are being cloned and the door system to which the operating parameters are being provided). As such, instead of a user accessing each door system and programing the operating parameters of each door system individually (e.g., an installer during installation, a service provider adjusting and/or performing maintenance with respect to the door systems, or the like), the user may be able to quickly clone and distribute the operating parameters of one or more door systems to one or more other door systems. As will be further described herein, the operating parameters of the door systems may be cloned and provided through the door systems communicating directly with each other, through one or more user computer systems acting as an intermediary (e.g., a mobile device, such as a smart phone, or the like), and/or through a centralized computer system, or the like. The cloned operating parameters may be actual operating parameters for a physical door system that is being installed and/or in current operation. However, in some embodiments, the cloned operating parameters may be from a virtual door system that is not a specific physical door system, but a representation of one or more door systems. As such, an application may store multiple pre-defined door operating configurations (e.g., configurations for physical door systems and/or virtual door systems) which may be provided to (e.g., pushed to, pulled by, or the like) secondary door systems to quickly and easily set up door systems. Alternatively, the cloned operating parameters may be useful in providing customized door system operating parameters that are not already pre-defined to other door systems.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     The following detailed description teaches specific example embodiments of the invention. Other embodiments do not depart from the scope of the present invention. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the singular forms “a”, “an” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms “includes” and/or “including” when used herein, specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof. 
     Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. It will be further understood that terms used herein should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of this specification and the relevant art and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein. Certain terminology is used herein for convenience only and is not to be taken as a limitation on the invention. For example, words such as “upper,” “lower,” “left,” “right,” “horizontal,” “vertical,” “upward,” and “downward” merely describe the configuration shown in the figures. The referenced components may be oriented in an orientation other than that shown in the figures and the terminology, therefore, should be understood as encompassing such variations unless specified otherwise. It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being “connected,” “coupled,” or “operatively coupled” to another element, the elements can be formed integrally with each other, or may be formed separately and put together. Furthermore, “connected,” “coupled,” or “operatively coupled” to can mean the element is directly connected, coupled, or operatively coupled to the other element, or intervening elements may be present between the elements. When two elements are connected, coupled, or operatively coupled to one another without intervening elements, the elements are referred to as directly connected, directly coupled, or directly operatively coupled. Furthermore, “connected,” “coupled,” or operatively coupled” may mean that the elements are detachable from each other, or that they are permanently coupled together. 
     It is understood that a door system (e.g., door operator, door closer, or the like) as described herein can be any system that controls (e.g., moves or aids in moving) a door or other barrier to an entry, an exit, a window or the like. The door system may control a barrier that, for example, swings, slides, or rolls between the open and closed positions. For convenience only, the barrier will be referred to herein as a door and the device will be referred to as a door system (e.g., door operator, door closer, or the like); however, the invention applies to, and can be used with, other types of barriers and the use of the terms “door” and “door system”, including the use of “door operator” and “door closer” are not meant to be limiting. 
     As used herein, the term “open position” for a door or other barrier means a door position other than a closed position, including any position between the closed position and a fully open position (e.g., one or more “open positions”). The term “closed position” for a door or other barrier means a position in which the door or other barrier is completely shut and may be the position where the door or other barrier engages a frame and a lock or latch may be engaged. 
     Referring now to the figures, wherein like reference numerals designate corresponding or similar elements throughout the several views, embodiments of a door system (e.g., illustrated as a door operator) in which the setup system (e.g., a smart setup system) and methods are used is shown in  FIGS.  1  and  2    and is generally designated at  40 . The door system  40  is mounted adjacent to, and is operatively connected to, a door  42  in a door frame  44 . The door  42  moves relative to the frame  44  between a closed position and one or more open positions. For the purpose of this description, only the upper portion of the door  42  and the door frame  44  are shown. The illustrated door  42  is of a conventional type and is pivotally mounted to the frame  44  at hinges for swinging movement between the closed position and one or more open positions. 
     The door system  40  may comprise a casing  48 , otherwise described as a housing, that includes a back plate  50  and a cover  51 . A drive system  52  (e.g., comprising a drive train  60  and a motor assembly  62 ), a closer assembly  54 , and/or a controller  58  are mounted in the casing  48  (or at least partially within the casing  48 ). A linkage assembly  56  operably couples the door system  40  to the door  42 . The casing  48  is shown mounted to the door frame  44 , however, in other embodiments the casing  48  may be mounted to the door  42 , and the linkage assembly  56  operably couples the door system  40  to the door frame  44 . The casing  48  is typically mounted in a particular orientation, such as horizontally, with respect to the door frame  44 . The cover  51  attaches to the back plate  50  and surrounds and encloses the components of the door system  40  to reduce dirt and dust contamination, and to provide a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. It is understood that door system  40  may also be concealed within the door  42 , the wall  38  (e.g., above the door frame  44 ) or the door frame  44 , or it may be installed in the floor. 
     The motor assembly  62  may include a motor  64  (e.g., a reversible electric motor, unidirectional motor, or the like). The motor  64  may include a motor drive shaft  68 . The drive train  60  is shown as including a drive gear  70  connected to drive shaft  68 , a driven gear  74  connected to output shaft  82  and a chain  72  connecting the drive gear  70  to the driven gear  74 . Alternatively, other types of drive trains  60 , such as only gears (e.g., no chains), alternatives to chains (e.g., bands, ribbons, or the like), cam and follower, screw mechanism, mechanical linkages, or any type of drive train  60  may be used with a motor assembly  62 , or other mechanical, electromechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or the like device to open or close the door  42 . In some embodiments, operation of the motor  64  rotates the output shaft  82  to drive the linkage assembly  56  to open and/or close the door  42  or to assist in the opening and/or closing of the door  42 . 
     To close the door  42 , a closer assembly  54  may be provided for returning the door  42  to the closed position after the door  42  has been opened. The closer assembly  54  may include a closer  80  of standard construction which provides a closing force on the door  42  when the door  42  is in an open position. The closer  80  may comprise a spring system, hydraulic system, pneumatic system, and/or other systems, or combinations of such systems, for providing the closing force. In other embodiments, the closing force may be supplied by the motor  64  that is used to open the door  42  or by a second motor (e.g., a closing motor). 
     The linkage assembly  56  is shown comprising a first rigid connecting arm link  86  and a second rigid connecting arm link  87 . The first connecting arm link  86  is fixed at one end to the lower end of output shaft  82  such that the first connecting arm link  86  is rotated by the output shaft  82 . The second end of the first connecting arm link  86  is pivotally connected to a first end of the second connecting arm link  87 . The second end of the second connecting arm link  87  is pivotally joined to a door  42  directly or through a mounting bracket  92  fixed to the door  42 . While a rigid two-arm linkage assembly  56  is shown, the linkage assembly  56  may be different than that illustrated and may include a greater or fewer number of arm linkages, sliding elements, shock absorbing arms mounting brackets  92 , or the like. 
     While a specific embodiment of a door system  40  is shown, the door system  40  may comprise any suitable mechanisms and may use mechanisms other than, or in addition to, the illustrated components, and thus, is not limited to the embodiment shown in  FIGS.  1  and  2    or the specific orientation and/or placement of the illustrated components. For example, the drive system  52  may include hydraulic, pneumatic, electrohydraulic, or electromechanical systems. The drive train  60  may comprise a gear train rather than the chain drive  72 . A single reversible motor  64  may be used to provide both the opening and closing forces. Moreover, multiple motors  64  may be used where, for example, one motor opens the door and a second motor closes the door. 
     The controller  58  is in electrical communication with the drive system  52  (e.g., the motor assembly  62 , or the like). The controller  58 , which is described in detail below, controls the operation of the motor  64  (and/or other components of the door system  40 ) and functions to transmit appropriate control signals to the drive system  52  for actuating the motor  64  and the drive train  60 . The controller  58  operates to control the drive system  52  in accordance with operating parameters stored in the door system  40  or remotely from the door system  40 . By way of example, the controller  58  may control the drive system  52  to maintain the door  42  in an open position for a selected period of time in order to allow sufficient time for a person to pass through the door opening. The controller  58  may also control the speed of the motor  64  for controlling the speed of opening or closing the door  42 . Other operating parameters for controlling the operation of the door system  40  will be described in further detail herein later. It is to be understood that although the controller  58  is shown mounted in the casing  48 , the controller  58  could also be housed separately from the door system  40  such as within the wall  38 , a ceiling, in or on the door itself, in or on the floor, or remotely, such as in a mechanical room for example. 
     The controller  58  is part of an overall control system which may include an activation device  136  in electrical communication with the controller  58  for allowing a user to selectively control actuation of the motor  64 , and thus, the opening and/or closing of the door  42 . The activation device  136  is operable to generate and transmit a door movement signal to the controller  58  which, in turn, is responsive to receiving the door movement signal to control operation of the motor  64  so as to control powered opening and/or closing of the door  42 . The activation device  136  may be of any known or desired type. For example, the activation device  136  may consist of a manual push pad switch mounted on the wall  38 , or a post, adjacent to the door  42 . This arrangement is such that a user need only press the push pad to activate the door operator  40  to automatically open the door  42 . In other embodiments, the activation device  136  may comprise a pressure pad such as in a switch-type floor mat. Various other activation devices are also suitable for use according to the present invention, including any type of switch, sensor, and/or actuator, including mechanical switching device, infrared motion sensors, radio frequency sensors, photoelectric cells, ultrasonic presence sensor switches, and the like. As a result of the operation of some of these activation devices, an automatically operable door is caused to open by mere proximity of a person to the door. Such proximity may cause the door to operate by virtue of the activation device  136 , such as interruption of a light beam (e.g., single bean or curtain), distortion of an electrical field, by the actual physical closing of the switch by contact with the person or in response to the weight of the person approaching the door, or the like. The particular manner for generating a door movement signal to the controller  58  for energizing the motor  64  may be accomplished by any suitable activation device.

Another example door operator in which the system of the present disclosure may be used is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 9,514,583, titled “Controller for a Door Operator,” issued on Dec. 6, 2016 to Zasowski et al., which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. Another example door operator in which the system of the present disclosure may be used is shown in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US 2014/0325911, titled “Door Operator Assembly,” published on Nov. 6, 2014 to Hass, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. 
     The door systems  40  and the various components described herein may derive power from the power grid. The door systems  40  and the various components described herein may also be battery operated. In some embodiments, the door systems  40  and the various components described herein may use a battery and derive power from the power grid. In some embodiments, the door operator  40  may use a rechargeable battery. A power grid interface derives power from a power line and in turn supplies current to the door systems  40 . The power supply feeds power to various components of the door systems  40  including the controller  58 , motor  64 , charger, battery, sensors  8  and/or the like. 
     While embodiments of door systems  40  are described and shown herein, the door systems  40  may come in a variety of styles and may utilize a variety of operating parameters. It should be understood that a door operator  40  may both open and close the door, while a door closer may only close the door such that manual opening is used. Door systems  40  may also include manual assist where under certain conditions the door system  40  assists in the manual opening and/or closing of the door. Door systems may be controlled to adjust the opening and closing speeds of the door, they may be adjusted for the size and/or weight of the door, to compensate for wind and/or stack pressure, latch retry, electronic dampening, left/right opening and they may include various sensors to control the safe operation of the door, such as motion detectors. 
     At least some of the parameters and/or features used to control the door system  40  and/or the components therein (hereinafter “operating parameters”) are adjustable such that when a door system  40  is installed at a door  42 , the user (e.g., installer, or the like) is required to set the operating parameters as part of the installation process. Some of the operating parameters may be user selected, some of the operating parameters may be manufacturer defined and some of the operating parameters may be set in response to building codes or the like. In existing door systems (e.g., door operators, door closers, or the like), after the door system is installed, the case must be opened and the operating parameters set by push buttons, potentiometers, dip switches and various interactive hardware devices. This requires the installer to manually access the door operator, typically on a ladder, open the case  48  and manually set the operating parameters for each door operator at the controller  58 . In commercial settings this operation may require the installer to manually set a large number of door operators individually. Moreover, the user that sets the operating parameters may be different than the user that physically installs the door system such that multiple people must physically access each door system  40 . The set up operation may also require the installer to rely on wiring diagrams to determine the appropriate controller input for each operating parameter. Moreover, anytime an operating parameter needs adjusting, a user (e.g., technician, maintenance provider, or the like) must access the door system  40  to adjust the operating parameters, in the same or similar way the installer was required to access the door system  40  (e.g., using a ladder, rely on wiring diagrams, or the like). Moreover, when the user (e.g., installer, technician, or the like) is defining (e.g., setting, adjusting, or the like) the operating parameters of the door system  40 , the doors  42  may require blocking off the doorway and/or hallway, thus preventing use of the doorway so that the user can set up a ladder, manually access the hardware to set or adjust the operating parameters. In some embodiments, manual access may be required just to check the current operating parameters of a door system. 
     In some of the embodiments of the systems and methods provided herein, information is sent to and received from the door system  40  to allow controlling, monitoring and adjusting of information pertaining to the operation of the door system  40 . The systems of the present disclosure may be used by any user (e.g., an installer, technician, or the like), for example, to configure, adjust, command, test, troubleshoot, upgrade and/or monitor a door system  40 . Referring to  FIG.  3   , the controller  58  may comprise one or more processors  22 , one or more memories  24 , one or more communication interfaces  26 , one or more controls  204  (which may be a type of communication interface  26  or separate from the communication interface). The controls  204  (and this, more broadly the communication interface  26 ) may comprise one or more output devices  206  (e.g., a display, speaker, or the like), and/or one or more input devices  208 , all of which may be operatively coupled to each other. The processor  22  (e.g., a microprocessor or a microcontroller) may communicate with the memory  24  for storing and/or accessing instructions and data (e.g., computer readable instructions and/or the operating parameters) in order to operate the door system  40  and provide the functionality described herein. Some of the one or more memories  24  are non-volatile, storing configuration information and program code. As used herein, a “processor” generally refers to a device or combination of devices having circuitry used for implementing the communication and/or logic functions of a particular system. For example, the processor  22  may include one or more digital signal processor devices, microprocessors, and/or microcontrollers and other support circuits and/or combinations of the foregoing. Control and signal processing functions of the system are allocated between these processing devices according to their respective capabilities. The controller  58  may further include functionality to operate one or more software programs based on computer-executable program code, which may be stored in memory  24 . As the phrase is used herein, a controller  58  may be “configured to” perform a certain function in a variety of ways, including, for example, by having one or more general-purpose circuits perform the function, by executing particular computer-executable program code embodied in computer-readable medium, and/or by having one or more application-specific circuits perform the function. 
     The door systems  40  (e.g., door operator, door closer) can include computer program code which, when executed by the processor  22 , causes the door systems  40  (e.g., door operator or door closer) to perform as described herein. A computer program product can include a medium with non-transitory computer program code that when executed causes the door system  40  to operate as described herein. The present invention may be embodied as a method, device, article, system, computer program product, or a combination of the foregoing. Any suitable computer usable or computer readable medium may be utilized for a computer program product to implement all or part of the system. The computer usable or computer readable medium may be, for example but not limited to, a tangible electronic, magnetic, optical, electromagnetic, or semiconductor system, apparatus or device. More specific examples of the computer readable medium may include, but is not limited to, the following: a portable computer diskette, a hard disk, a random access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM or Flash memory), a portable compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM), or an optical storage device. 
     Computer program code for carrying out operations of the present invention or for assisting in the carrying out of a method according to an example embodiment of the invention may be written in an object oriented, scripted or unscripted programming language such as Java, Peri, python, C++ or the like. However, the computer program code for carrying out operations of the present invention may also be written in conventional procedural programming languages, such as the “C” programming language or similar programming languages. The computer program code may also be written in HTML5 or similar languages that are commonly used for applications or “apps” intended to be run on mobile computing devices such as smart phones, tablets, and the like. While specific examples of programming languages are described herein, these examples are not exhaustive, and the computer program code may be written in any suitable programming language. 
     Computer program instructions may be provided to the controller  58  to produce a machine, such that the instructions, which execute via the processor  22  of the controller  58 , create a device for implementing the functions necessary to carry out the embodiments as described herein. Computer program instructions may also be provided as firmware for an embedded controller or a plurality of embedded controllers. 
     Referring to  FIG.  2   , the controller  58  includes, or is in communication with, an on-board communication interface  26 , such as a wired communication interface (as will be discussed below) and/or a wireless communication interface (e.g., wireless communication chip) that communicates with a user computer system  30  (e.g., mobile devices, such as remote control, smartphone, or the like) over a wireless connection  32 . It should be understood that the wireless communication may occur over any type of wireless network, or such communication may occur directly between the controller  58  and the user computer system  30  such that the controller  58  does not require access to an external network (e.g., external Wi-Fi network, the cellular network or other external network). As used herein, the term “directly communicates” means that the user computer system  30  communicates with the on-board communication interface  26  without an intervening network such as an external wireless network (e.g., external Wi-Fi network, LAN or WAN, or other external wireless protocol). In some embodiments, the controller  58  may be directly coupled to, and may directly communicate with, a user computer system  30  (e.g., a mobile device, such as a remote control, smartphone, or the like) over relatively short distance using the wireless communication interface  26 . The controller  58  may be coupled to the user computer system  30  via the wireless communication interface  26  that communicates using a wireless networking protocol, such as WiFi based on the institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standards, Bluetooth short-wavelength UHF radio waves in the ISM band from 2.4 to 2.485 GHz, a proprietary communication interface or other wireless access technology whether or not described herein. 
     While in some embodiments, the communication interface  26  communicates directly with the user computer system  30  over a short range via a wireless connection  32  such as WiFi, Bluetooth or other wireless access technology, a wireless connection  33  may operate over long or intermediate ranges and may include intervening networks  35 , as shown in  FIG.  7   . In this regard, the door system  40  may comprise a transceiver  28  that communicates with the controller  58  and that is configured to operate with one or more air interface standards, communication protocols, modulation types, and access types. By way of illustration, the door operator may include a transceiver  28  that may be configured to operate in accordance with any of a number of first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and/or the like generation communication protocols and/or the like. For example, the door system  40  may be configured to operate in accordance with second-generation (2G) wireless communication protocols IS-136 (time division multiple access (TDMA)), GSM (global. system for mobile communication), and/or IS-95 (code division multiple access (CDMA)), or with third-generation (3G) wireless communication protocols, such as Consolidated Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), CDMA2000, wideband CDMA (WCDMA) and/or time division-synchronous CDMA (TD-SCDMA), with fourth-generation (4G) wireless communication protocols, with 1, TE protocols, with 3GPP protocols, with fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication protocols, and/or the like. The door operator  40  may also be configured to operate in accordance with non-cellular communication mechanisms, such as via a wireless local area network (WLAN) or other communication/data networks. 
     The wireless communication interface  26  may be on at all times or a user may be required to take an action with respect to an input device  208  to the controller (e.g., action with respect to a physical “key”, button, touchscreen, or the like) may be required to enable wireless capability. As such, the user may enter a wireless authentication input into the door system  40 . For example, a user may need to turn an on/off switch two, three, four, or other like times in order to enable the wireless communication interface  26  of the door system  40 . Other actions may include selecting a pattern of physical input keys or touchscreen inputs, entering the authentication code (e.g., static, dynamic, or the like character code of numbers, letters, and/or symbols, scan a barcode, QR code, or other like code, or the like), holding multiple inputs at the same time, or the like. It should be understood that any action with respect to any input may be required, but that such an action is utilized to provide a layer of security that restricts unauthorized users from accessing the door system  40 , in part, by requiring an authorized user to take an action to which only the authorized users are aware. 
     Additionally, or alternatively, other security measures may be provided to restrict (e.g., prevent, reduce the chance of, or the like) unauthorized access to the door system controller  58  to reduce the chance of tampering with the operating system and/or the operating parameters of the door system  40 . Furthermore, to enhance the security of the system and to restrict unauthorized access to the door system  40 , the wireless communication interface  26  may have a limited range such that the user computer system  30  must be in within the limited range (e.g., in close proximity) of the door system  40  in order to access the system. In some embodiments, the wireless communication interface  26  may be limited to a range of approximately 100 feet or less, 50 feet or less, 20 feet or less, or approximately 10 feet or less and may have a range of approximately 10 feet. In some embodiments, the range may be even less than 10 feet, although in a preferred embodiment the range is sufficient to allow an authorized user to gain access to the system over wireless connection  32  without the need to climb a ladder. The range may be selected such that the user computer system  30  may program a plurality of door systems  40  at one time. For example, the range may be selected such that the user computer system  30  can access and program a plurality of door systems  40  located along a hallway in a building. Providing the interface  124  with a limited range prevents remote unauthorized access to the system and requires any individual accessing the system to be in relatively close physical proximity to the door systems  40 . While specific ranges have been set forth above, it is to be understood that the range of the wireless communication interface device  26  may be increased in certain applications where a greater range is required to access the door systems and/or where unauthorized remote access is not an issue. As such, the wireless communication interface  26  of the door systems  40  may programmable (e.g., set, adjusted, or the like) by an authorized user in order to optimize the range of the wireless communication for the needs of the particular customer. 
     Moreover, additional security may be implemented such that the user may be required to log into the system and gain access to the controller  58 . For example, the system may require that the user&#39;s identity be authenticated using a username, a passcode, a cookie, a biometric identifier, a private key, a token, and/or another authentication mechanism. The door system  40  may display an authentication interface on the user computer system  30 , which requires the input for user authentication. A suitable authentication response may be provided by the user, such as access code may be provided by the user to the controller  58  via the authentication interface on the user computer system  30  (e.g., remote control, or other mobile device, or the like). The authentication system may use any suitable security measures that may or may not be specifically described herein. 
     To further enhance security of the system, the door system  40  may be provided with an on/off input  34  (e.g., a toggle switch) located on the exterior of the casing  48 , or a remote location, such that the communication interface  26  is operable only when the input  34  is turned on. The input  34  may be located in a position on the casing  48  or off of the casing  48  such that the input is accessible to an authorized user but is not readily available to the general public, such as on top of the casing  48 , within a access panel (e.g., cover or the like) on the casing  48 , within an access panel off of the casing (e.g., on a wall, post, frame, or the like), or the like. 
     The controller  58  may communicate with the user computer system  30  (e.g., a mobile device, such as a remote control, smartphone, or the like) over a wireless connection  32 , directly or through an external network. The user computer system  30  is used to program the door system  40  to define (e.g., set, adjust, remove, or the like) the operating parameters of the door system  40  after the door system  40  is physically installed on the door/door frame. The user computer system  30  may comprise a mobile device, such as a cellular phone, tablet, dedicated terminal, laptop, remote control, or the like. The wireless connection  32  between the user computer system  30  and the controller  58  may be implemented using dedicated applications (e.g., apps, applet, or the like), portions of dedicated applications, a web browser based interface, and/or the like, or combinations of such systems. The controller  58  may act as a web server providing user interfaces (e.g., web pages, or the like) that may be accessed by the user computer system  30  over the wireless connection  32 . The user interfaces can be used for setup, diagnostics, input and output programming, settings, or the like. The controller  58  may collect data for tracking, mapping, sensors, and communication with other devices, notifications (e.g., alerts, messages, or the like) of door activity, performance, maintenance, faulty accessories, installation, or the like. 
     Referring to  FIG.  4   , the user computer system  30  may display various menus, icons, and other information to the user on a user interface  104  within a display  103  (e.g., output device) of the user computer system  30 . The user can scroll through menus and icons displayed on user interface  104  to transmit information to and receive information from the controller  58 . As such, the user computer system  30  comprises one or more processors  100 , one or more memories  102  (e.g., having computer readable code and/or data stored thereon, such as like the memories  24  of the controller  58  described herein), one or more displays  103  (e.g., for providing a user interface  104  thereon), one or more communication interfaces  106 , and/or one or more transceivers  108 , or the like operatively coupled to each other. The one or more communication interfaces  106  may be made up of user output devices and/or user input devices and/or may be separate from such output and input devices. The user output devices may include the display  103  and a speaker or other audio device, which are operatively coupled to the processor  100 . The display  103  may be configured to present data in a graphical and/or character format (e.g., alphanumerical, symbolic, or the like format). The user input devices may include any of a number of devices allowing the user computer system  30  to transmit data, such as a keypad, keyboard, touch-screen, touchpad, microphone, mouse, joystick, other pointer device, button, soft key, and/or other input device(s). The user computer system  30  further includes a power source, such as a battery, for powering various circuits and other devices that are used to operate the user computer system  30 . Embodiments of the user computer system  30  may also include a clock or other timer configured to determine and, in some cases, communicate actual or relative time to the controller  58 . 
     As used herein, the memory  102 , as previously described with respect to the memory  24  of the controller  58 , includes any computer readable medium (as defined herein) configured to store data, code, or other information. The memory  102  may include volatile memory, such as volatile Random Access Memory (RAM) including a cache area for the temporary storage of data. The memory  102  may also include non-volatile memory, which can be embedded and/or may be removable. The non-volatile memory  102  can additionally or alternatively include an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), flash memory or the like. 
     The memory  102  can store any of a number of applications or code thereof, which comprise computer-executable instructions/code executed by the processor  100  to implement the functions of the user computer system  30  and/or the door system  40 , and/or one or more of the process/method steps described herein. For example, the memory  102  may include system specific applications or APPs or such applications as a conventional web browser application. In some embodiments, the user computer system  30  is capable of providing graphical and/or character depictions of the operating parameters of the door system  40 . The graphical and/or character representations allow the user to set or adjust the operating parameters of the door system  50 . 
     In some embodiments, the user computer system  30  includes a wireless communication interface  106 , such as a wireless communication chip, that communicates with a wireless communication interface  26  over a wireless connection  32 , such that the user computer system  30  communicates with controller  58  directly without requiring access to an external network (e.g., Wi-Fi network, the cellular network or other network), or otherwise, through such an external network. As previously described, the controller  58  may be directly coupled to and may directly communicate with the user computer system  30  over wireless connection  32 . The communication interface  106  may communicate using a wireless networking protocol such as WiFi based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standards, Bluetooth short-wavelength UHF radio waves in the ISM band from 2.4 to 2.485 GHz, a proprietary interface or other wireless access technology that is compatible with the protocol used by the controller  58  whether or not such protocol is described herein. 
     The user computer system  30  may also be configured to communicate with an external source such as a help desk associated with the door system  40  over a wider communications network. In this regard, the user computer control  30  may be configured to operate with one or more air interface standards, communication protocols, modulation types, and access types. By way of illustration, the communication interface  106  of the user computer system  30  may include a transceiver  108  that may be configured to operate in accordance with any of a number of first, second, third, and/or fourth-generation communication protocols and/or the like. For example, the user computer system  30  may be configured to operate in accordance with second-generation (2G) wireless communication protocols  1 S- 136  (time division multiple access (′PUMA)), GSM (global system for mobile communication), and/or IS-95 (code division multiple access (CDMA)), or with third-generation (3G) wireless communication protocols, such as Consolidated Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), CDMA2000, wideband CDMA (WCDMA) and/or time division-synchronous CDMA (TD-SCDMA), with fourth-generation (4G) wireless communication protocols, with LTE protocols, with 3GPP protocols, fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication protocols, and/or the like. The user computer system  30  may also be configured to operate in accordance with non-cellular communication mechanisms, such as via a wireless local area network (WLAN) or other communication/data networks. While the communication interface  106 , the display  103 , and/or the transceiver  108  are shown as separate blocks in  FIG.  4   , these components may be a single physical component, be within one or more physical components, or the functionality of these components may be shared. 
     Providing the user computer system  30  with the functionality to communicate over a wider network may not be required for communicating with the controller  58  in order to set up the operating parameters of the door system  30 . However, providing such functionality allows the user computer system  30  to communicate with a help desk, retrieve installation instructions from the door system  40  manufacturer over the internet and otherwise send and retrieve information to a node other than the door system  40 . Referring to  FIGS.  8  and  9   , in addition to communicating with the user computer system  30 , the communication interface  26  of the door system  40  may communicate directly with other door systems  40  such that operating parameters may be set at one door operator  40 , the primary door operator, and those settings may be transmitted via the communication interfaces  26  over additional wireless connections  32   a  . . .  32   n  to other door operators  40   a  . . .  40   n  (e.g., replica door operators). In this manner the user has the capability of installing and setting up multiple door systems  40  by accessing the operating parameters of a single door system from the user computer system  30 . The door systems  40  may be arranged in a primary-replica network or in a peer-to-peer network or using other network architectures where the door systems  40  may be individually addressable. 
     In the embodiments described above, a user computer system  30  is used to connect to the door system  40  through one or more user interfaces  104  in a display  103  of the user computer system  30 . However, the user may not have a wireless enabled user computer system  30 , or access to a user computer system  30 . In these situations, it may be desirable to provide components (e.g., devices, interfaces, or the like) that allow a user to communicate with the door system  40  directly (e.g., without the need for the user computer system  30 ). As shown in  FIGS.  1 ,  3  and  10   , the door system  40  may be provided with an onboard control  204  in addition to, in place of, or as a part of the communication interface  26 . The onboard control  204  may comprise one or more output devices  206  and/or one or more input devices  208 . For example, the output devices  206  may include one or more displays and one or more audio devices (e.g., a speaker/microphone, or the like), which are operatively coupled to the processor  22 . The one or more displays may be configured to present data in a graphical, alphanumerical, character, and/or other like format. The one or more displays may include any type of display, such as but not limited to an LCD, plasma, LED, electroluminescent, electronic paper, digital light processing technology, LCoS, field emission, laser TV, Quantum Dot, interferometric modulator, flexible display, vacuum fluorescent, seven segment, Retina, OLED, TFT, AMOLED, and/or any other type of display. It should be understood that the one or more displays may be operatively coupled to the communication interface  26 , and/or the other components in the controller  58 , such that instead of and/or in addition to, communicating wirelessly with the user computer system  30 , the user interfaces  104  (e.g., as described in further detail below) or other like interfaces, may be presented on the display of door system  40 . The user input devices  208  may include any of a number of devices allowing the onboard control  204  to receive and transmit data inputted by a user. The input devices  208  may include a keypad, keyboard, touch-screen, touchpad, microphone, mouse, joystick, other pointer device, button, switch, toggle, soft key, and/or other input device(s). It should be understood that in addition to the input devices  208  that may be a part of a control  204  within the controller  58 , the controller  58  may include other inputs  140  (e.g., connections to which devices may be connected) as will be described in further detail below. 
     It should be understood that the control  204 , such as the one or more output devices  206  and/or the one or more input devices  208 , allows for the functionality of the setup system, as described herein, even if a wireless connection and/or user computer system  40  are not available to the user. As such, the user may utilize the one or more output devices  206  and/or the one or more input devices  208 , and the other components of the controller  58  in order to define the operating parameters (e.g., make initial set-up configurations, adjust the present configurations, and/or the like), as will be described herein. 
     The door system  40  may be provided with default settings for the operating parameters such that absent instructions from the user computer system  30  or through the control  204  the default settings control the operation of the door system  40 . The default settings may be changed by the user using the user computer system  30  and/or the door system  40  itself (e.g., through the control  204 ), such that the door system  40  may be programmed to have customized operating parameters. In some embodiments, the user may change each individual operating parameter and/or may select from a plurality of operating parameter sets, which provide different pre-selected operating parameters based on the type of door system  40 , the type of installation, the regulations which the door system  40  should meet. In some embodiments, in order to define the operating parameters, a menu is displayed on a user interface of the user computer system  30  and/or the one or more output devices  206  of the door system  40  that leads the user through a menu of operating parameters that may be programmed by the user to control operation of the door system  40 , as will be described in further detail below. 
     A wide variety of operating parameters may be controlled using the systems of the present disclosure. Example operating parameters are described herein; however, the list is not exhaustive and other operating parameters in addition to, or in place of, those described herein may be controlled. The door system  40  may be controlled to adjust the opening and closing speed of the door. The door system  40  may be controlled to adjust for the size and/or weight of the door. The door system  40  may be controlled to compensate for wind and/or stack pressure caused by the flow of air through a building. The door system  40  may be controlled for latch retry. The door system  40  may be controlled for electronic dampening. The door system  40  may be controlled for left/right opening doors. The door system  40  may be controlled to communicate with various sensors (within the door system and/or operatively coupled to the door system outside of the door system), such as motion detectors, to control the safe operation of the door. The door system  40  may be controlled for whether the door system  40  operates based on an external activation device  136  (e.g., a switch) or operates with a slight movement of the door toward the open position, such as when a user pushes or pulls on the door. The door system  40  may be controlled to operate on both activation of an external activation device  136  and movement of the door. The system  40  may be controlled for obstruction detection, and delay sensitivity may be set and/or adjusted. For example, during the opening cycle, the door may be controlled to press against an obstruction for the obstruction delay time set and then to close normally. During the closing cycle, the door may be controlled to press against an obstruction for the time set and then to attempt to reclose. If the obstruction is still present, power to the motor may be turned off such that only a spring force (or other closing force) pushes the door against the obstruction. The door system  40  may be controlled so that a “latch boost” feature can be adjusted such as to “Off”, “Low”, or “High.” For example, if during the last few inches of door closing, the door does not close due to mechanical door issues, environment issues, and the like, additional closing force can be added to close the door. The additional force may be adjustable. The door system  40  may be controlled to adjust the time the door is held at the fully open position. The door system  40  may be controlled to have a delayed start where the delay to the motor start can be set in increments to allow unlocking of electric hardware. The door system  40  may be controlled for alarm delay. The door system  40  may be controlled to set the closed and open position of the door. While a number of operating parameters have been described above, any operating parameter of the door system  40  may be defined (e.g., set and/or adjusted) using the user computer system  30  over the wireless connection  32 , or through the use of the one or more output devices  206  and/or the one or more input devices  208  of the door system  40 . 
     In addition to defining the operating parameters, the door system  40  may communicate with the user computer system  30  and/or other systems (e.g., door system owner systems, maintenance provider systems, or the like) to track and monitor operation of the door system  30 . For example, the number of open/close cycles the door system  40  has experienced can be recorded and transmitted to the user computer system  30  and/or other systems. The battery performance can be recorded and transmitted to the user computer system  30  and/or other systems. Other operating performance issues may be tracked, monitored and transmitted to the user computer system  30  and/or other systems. 
     To monitor the proper installation of the door system  40  and door  42 , the door system  40  may include sensors  8  that provide feedback to the user computer system  30  and/or the one or more output devices  206  of the door system  40  ( FIG.  3   ). For example, the door system  40  may receive a signal from a sensor  8  that senses an installation condition of the door system  40 . For example, an accelerometer  10  may be provided in the door operator  40  where the accelerometer  10  communicates with the controller  58 . The accelerometer  10  performs a level test where the level of the door operator  40  is detected and a corresponding signal is transmitted to the controller  58 . The level condition may be communicated (e.g., in a notification) to the user computer system  30  and/or the one or more output devices  206 , such that the installer can determine if the door system  40  is installed properly. Similarly, a force detection sensor  12  may be provided that detects the amount of force required to open and/or close the door  42 . If the force is above a predetermined level, the system may, for example, determine that the hinges are binding, the linkages of the door operator are not properly installed, or the like. For example, the force detection sensor  12  may be provided in the door system  40  that communicates with the controller  58 . The force detection sensor  12  transmits a signal indicative of the force required to open the door to the controller  58 . The force level may be communicated to the user computer system  30  and/or to the one or more output devices  206  such that the installer can determine if the door is installed properly. Alternatively, the controller  58  may do a comparison between the actual force as detected by sensor  12  and a desired force and send an error message to the user computer system  30  and/or to the one or more output devices  206  if the actual force as detected by sensor  12  exceeds a desired force limit. Various inputs such as sensors  10 ,  12  may be connected to the controller  58  at inputs  140  (e.g., connectors to which a device is connected) or may be integral within the door system  40 . The inputs  140  may be programmable such that various devices (e.g., sensors, or the like) may be connected to any one of the inputs  140 . While the accelerometer sensor  10  and the force sensor  12  are examples of such devices, the devices may include other devices or systems such as security systems/devices, fire protection systems/devices, activation devices  136 , motion detectors, vestibule/door interlock systems, HVAC control, door synchronization, locks, exit devices, wall plates, or the like. 
     A process flow  500  for setting up and operating a door system  40  is described in  FIG.  5 A  with respect to the use of the user computer system  30  and/or the control  204  of the door system  40 . It should be understood that a connection (e.g., a wired connection, a wireless connection  32 , or the like) between the controller  58  and the control  204  and/or the user computer system  30  is established, as illustrated by Block  501  of  FIG.  5 A . When the connection is a wireless connection, the wireless connection  32  may or may not be of a limited range and may be a direct connection or intervening network components may be present. In some embodiments, the wireless connection  32  is a direct connection over a limited range. For security purposes, establishing the wireless connection  32  may comprise receiving system authentication at the controller  58  through an input (e.g., inputs  140 , one or more input devices  208 , and/or other input), as illustrated in block  502  of  FIG.  5 A . For example, establishing the wireless connection  32  may comprise receiving an action with respect to one or more inputs of the door system  40 . For example, the action may require an on/off input to be toggled on and off two, three, four, or the like times in order to activate the communication interface  26  (e.g., a wireless connection interface) and to thereafter allow the user computer system  30  to make a wireless connection  32  to the controller  58 . In other examples, other actions may be required in order to create the wireless connection  32 , such as selecting a pattern of various keys, making gestures on a touchscreen or for a camera, making a sequence of actions, or the like either through the door system  40 , or components thereof, or within the user computer system  30 . 
     To further enhance security, or in the alternative to taking an action as described above, the system may further receive a user authentication at the controller  58  through the control  204  and/or through the user computer system  30  (or through another system that communicates with the controller  58 ) to authenticate the user, as illustrated in block  503  of  FIG.  5 A . For example, a user may enter a code, user identifier (e.g., user name, string of characters, or the like) into an input device  208  of the door system  40 , and/or into the user computer system  30  when the user is accessing the door system  40  in order to activate a wireless connection  32  or otherwise access the door system  40  after communication has been established. 
     Information regarding at least one operating parameter may be transmitted to and received by the door system  40 , as illustrated by blocks  504  and  505  of  FIG.  5 A . For example, the information is transmitted by the user using one or more output devices  206  and/or one or more input devices  208  of the door system  40 . Alternatively, or additionally, the information related to the one or more operating parameters may be transmitted to the door system  40  through the user computer system  30  to the controller  58  over the wireless connection (e.g., direct or indirect connection). The information that is transferred to and received by the door system  40  may be an operating parameter itself, a value related to the operating parameter, activation of an operating parameter (turning an operating parameter on/off), or the like. 
     As illustrated in block  506  of  FIG.  5 A , the information regarding the operating parameter is saved by the controller  58  such as in memory  24  (e.g., using the processor  22  in the controller  58 , or the like). As previously discussed herein, the controller  58  controls the operation of the door system  40 , such as the operation of the drive system  52  of the door system  50  in the future using the information regarding the one or more operating parameters, as illustrated in block  507  of  FIG.  5 A . 
     As previously discussed herein, the user computer system  30  and/or the one or more output devices  206  or input devices  208  may display various menus, icons, and other information to the user on one or more user interfaces. It should be understood that the user interfaces, such as on the door system  40  itself (e.g., on the output device  206  or input device  208  of the control  204 , or the like) or on the user computer system  30  (e.g., on the display  103 ), may be graphical user interfaces (GUIs), or any other type of interface. The user can access (e.g., scroll through, or the like) menus and icons displayed on a user interface to input information to, and receive information from, the controller  58 . Referring to  FIG.  6 A , an example screen shot is shown illustrating a user interface  104  on a display  103  of a user computer system  30 . The screen shot of  FIG.  6 A  may be an initial home screen that presents a user with a menu  300  for adjusting or setting the operating parameters of a door system  40  that is in communication with the user computer system  30 . The home screen may also present the user with information  302  about the door system  40 . The information  302  may include identifying information  304  about the door system  40  such as Serial Number, software Version, hardware Version or the like. The information  302  may also include status information  306  about the status of the door system  40  as installed. For example, the status information  306  may include whether any System Errors are detected. These errors may be based on the sensors or diagnostics performed by the controller  58 . The status information  306  may include Cycle Count that indicates use. The status information  306  may include Door Position that indicates, for example, the position of the door system  40 . The status information  306  may include other information such as Power Status or Temperature that may be used to determine faulty operating conditions. The information  302  may also include information  308  about the configuration of the door system  40  itself such as Relay or battery conditions. 
     The user may access the control system using the menu  300 . For example, assuming that the door system  40  has been installed properly, the user may want to change one or more of the operating parameters. The user may access the “Settings” menu to change the operating parameters by selecting (e.g., on a touchscreen, depressing a virtual or physical icon, or the like) the “Settings” button  310  on the home screen. In the illustrated embodiment, the buttons are soft buttons provided on a touch screen; however, any suitable user input may be used.  FIG.  6 B  shows an example “Settings” menu  312  that may be presented to the user. The “Settings” menu  312  provides a list of user controllable operating parameters. The list of operating parameters is made by way of example and in use the operating parameters may be different than those specifically listed in  FIG.  6 B . In addition to the buttons  314 , the screen may present a value  316  for each operating parameter. The values  316  may be preset values or the values may have been set by the user during initial door setup. The user may select one or more of the operating parameters. For explanatory purposes, assume the user selects “Opening Speed.” The user computer system will then display the “Opening Speed” control screen as shown in  FIG.  6 C . The user may adjust the opening speed using controller  318  and may save the change by pressing the “Save” button  320 . In this embodiment, the information provided to the door operator  40  from the user computer system  30  is an identification of the operating parameter to be changed and the value (e.g. speed) of the operating parameter. The settings are stored in memory  24 . The controller  318  is shown as an adjustable slider; however, any suitable control may be used. The user may return to the “Home” page by depressing the “Home” button  322 . 
     From the “Home” page,  FIG.  6 A , the user may press the “Door Set Up” button  324 . The Door Set Up button  324  may take the user to a door set up screen as shown in  FIG.  6 D . The door set up screen may take the user through a series of door set up menus to initialize the operating parameters of the newly installed door system  40 . It should be noted that the “Settings” menu ( FIG.  6 B ) may also be accessed during the door set up process to set the initial operating parameters.  FIG.  6 D  illustrates one door set up parameter. As illustrated, the door set up parameter sets the door open position and the door closed position. To use the door set up menu the door is closed and the “Set Closed Position” button  326  is pressed such that the door system  40  is programmed to recognize the position of the door system  40  at the door closed position. Similarly, the door is opened and the “Set Open Position” button  328  is pressed such that the door operator is programmed to recognize the position of the door system  40  at the door open position. These positions are stored in memory  24 . The “Learn” button  330  may be pressed such that the system operates the door operator through an open/close cycle. If the door operates properly, the user is instructed to press the “Refresh” button  332  to save the settings in memory of the controller  58 . The user may return to the “Home” page by depressing the “Home” button  334 . 
     From the “Home” page,  FIG.  6 A , the user may press the “Control Inputs” menu button  336 . The Control Inputs button  336  may take the user to an External Inputs menu  338  as shown in  FIG.  6 E . The External Inputs menu allows the user to set the various inputs  140  of the door system  40 . For example, the various sensors  10 ,  12 , activation devices  136 , or the like as described herein, in addition to other inputs such as from a fire control system, alarm systems or the like, may be connected to the inputs  140  of the door system  40 . The External Inputs menu  338  allows the user to designate specific inputs  140  for the various input devices connected to the system using the Assign Inputs button  340 . This allows the door operator  140  to be customized for a particular user&#39;s needs and integrated into other systems. The user is instructed to press the “Refresh” button  342  to save the settings. The user may return to the “Home” page by depressing the “Home” button  344 . 
     From the “Home” page,  FIG.  6 A , the user may press the “Support” menu button  350 . The Support button  350  may take the user to the manufacturer&#39;s web site or other external site such as over an Internet connection where the user may be provided technical support for the installation and setup of the door system  40 . 
     In the embodiments described above with respect to  FIGS.  6 A- 6 D , a user computer system  30  is used to connect to the door system  40  through the user interface  104 . However, as also described above, the user may not have, or have access to, a wireless enabled user computer system  30 . In such situations, it may be desirable to provide the control  204 , including the one or more input devices  208  and/or one or more output devices  206  within the door system  40 . As such, the one or more output devices  206  may be used to provide the user interfaces (e.g., as described with respect to  FIGS.  6 A- 6 D , or other like interfaces) as part of the door system  40 . In this manner, the functionality of the setup system as described herein may be provided even if a wireless connection and/or user computer system  30  are not available to the user. 
       FIG.  5 B  illustrates a process flow  600  for an installation system (e.g., smart installation system) for the installation of the door system  40  using one or more sensors  8 , in accordance with some embodiments of the disclosure. Block  602  of  FIG.  5 B  illustrates that a user (e.g., installer, or the like) first installs the door system (e.g., door operator, door closer, or the like). The user assembles the door system  40  to the wall, frame, door, or the like (or within the wall, frame, door should the door system be a hidden system). The user may connect the door system to power (e.g., wired power, battery power, or the like), any activation devices  136  (push pad, infrared sensors, or the like), or other devices which may be permanent to the installation or removeable after installation (e.g., devices used to install and/or set up the door system). When describing the user as performing functions, it should be understood that the same user may perform the functions or different users may perform different functions because different users may perform different parts of the installation process. For example, a first user may attach the door system  40  to the wall, a second user may connect the door system  40  to the electrical system of the building, and another user may set up the operating parameters and/or test the installation of the door system  40 . 
     In some embodiments, the user may set-up the door system  40  as previously described with respect to  FIG.  5 A , or as otherwise described herein. The installation of the door system  40  may occur before the setup process  500  described with respect to  FIG.  5 A  and  FIGS.  6 A- 6 D  above occurs. Alternatively, it should be understood that at least a portion of the setup process described with respect to  FIG.  5 A  and  FIGS.  6 A- 6 D  may occur before the installation process of  FIG.  5 B  (e.g., some setup may occur before the door system  40  is installed on a door, door frame, or wall). Regardless, as illustrated in block  604 , in some embodiments of the installation process  600  a user may establish a connection with the door system (e.g., a wired connection, wireless connection, or the like) between the controller  58  and the control  204  (e.g., when the user is using the output and/or input devices) and/or the user computer system  30  (e.g., when the user is using the wireless connection). 
     Block  606  of  FIG.  5 B  illustrates that the user may utilize one or more user interfaces  104  on the display  103  of the user computer system  30  or on an output device  206  (e.g., display, or the like) of the control  204  of the door system  40 . The one or more user interfaces  104  may include one or more installation interfaces (e.g., an orientation interface, an operation interface, or other like interface), which may be used to check the installation of the door system during and/or after installation of the door system  40 . It should be understood that the installation interface may be a single interface that allows for checking the installation of the door system  30  or may include multiple interfaces. It should be further understood that the installation interface may be utilized to verify the proper installation of the door system  40 , such that the door system installation meets industry standard requirements, manufacturer requirements, customer requirements, or the like. The installation requirements may relate to the orientation of the door system  40 , the operation forces of the door, the vibration of the door system  40 , the operation timing of the door, the speed and/or acceleration of opening or closing the door, or other like requirements. 
     As illustrated in block  608  of  FIG.  5 B  the user may access one or more sensors (e.g., accelerometers, force sensors, or the like), such as through an installation interface in order to determine if the door system was installed on a surface (e.g., the wall, door, door frame, or the like, or within the foregoing) properly to meet one or more orientation requirements. For example, in some embodiments the one or more sensors  8  may comprise one or more accelerometers  10 , and the user may access an orientation interface in order to determine the installation orientation of the door system  40 . The user may utilize the one or more accelerometers  10  in an installed resting position in order to determine if the door system  40  has been installed level (e.g., horizontal and/or vertical with respect to the ground or door plane, or the like), plum (e.g., with respect to the installed surface, such as the wall, door, door frame, or the like), or other like. As previously described herein, the accelerometer  10  may perform one or more tests automatically (e.g., level tests, plum tests, or the like upon set-up) where the level of the door system  40  is detected and a corresponding signal is transmitted to the controller  58 . The level condition (e.g., degrees from horizontal and/or vertical, or with respect to the ground or another feature, such as a surface of the door, door frame, wall, or another component) and/or the plum condition with respect to a surface (e.g., the door, door frame, or wall) may be communicated (e.g., transmitted using a signal) to the user computer system  30  and/or to an output device  206  (e.g., LCD screen, touchscreen, or the like) of the control  204 , such that the user can determine if the door system  40  is installed properly in accordance with any installation requirements related to the orientation of the door system  40 . Alternatively, a user may request the orientation testing (e.g., level test, plum test, or the like), such as through an orientation interface, and thereafter, receive the level condition, plum condition, or the like as described above after making the request (e.g., through the orientation interface). 
     Alternatively, and/or additionally, the user may access one or more installation interfaces (e.g., an operation interface) in order access other sensors (e.g., the accelerometers, the force sensors, or the like) to run other tests related to the orientation and/or operation of the door system  40  or other components of the door assembly. 
     Block  610  illustrates that in some embodiments the door system  40  may be activated (e.g., turned on during set-up) such that the door is operated (e.g., door operator may be activated to open and/or close, or a door closer may be manually opened and allowed to close) in order to perform one or more installation tests (e.g., orientation tests, operating tests, or the like). For example, a rigidity test, vibration test, acceleration test, speed test, force test, or the like may be performed by allowing the door system  40  to open and/or close (e.g., through the use of the motor, springs, or the like). The opening and/or closing of the door may be performed using different operating parameters based on how the door may operate during any number opening and/or closing cycles (e.g., based on different required operating environments), during maximum operation (e.g., maximum speed, acceleration, or the like), during minimum operation (e.g., minimum speed, acceleration, or the like), and/or based on other operating parameters. In some embodiments the operation testing may only occur after the user sets up the operating parameters based on the operating requirements of the door system  40  that the user is installing (e.g., as described with respect to  FIG.  5 A ). During operation of the door system  40  the one or more sensors  8  (e.g., the accelerometer  10 , the force sensors  12 , or the like) collect data regarding the operation of the door system  40 . 
     Block  612  of  FIG.  5 B  further illustrates that data is received from the one or more sensors  8  after operation of the door (e.g., during installation, or the like). It should be understood that the data may be received by the controller  58  and sent to the one or more output devices  206 , to the user computer system  30 , and/or to another offsite system (e.g., offsite monitoring system). With respect to an offsite system it may be located apart from the door system  40  and/or user computer system  30  and may receive the data directly from the door system  40  or through the controller  58  and/or the user computer system  30 . The data that may be received from the one or more sensors  8  may include the orientation of a component (e.g., a portion of the door system  40 ) as the door is operated. For example, the accelerometer  10  may move as the door is being operated and may capture data related to the movement of the door system  30  and/or a component thereof. The data captured may include the movement of the sensor in various degrees of freedom (e.g., X, Y, and/or Z planes, a rotation, or the like). The data may include tracking the movement of the accelerometer  10  over time, such as along an arc should the accelerometer  10  be mounted on a portion of the door system  40  and/or door as the door is being operated. In other examples, the accelerometer  10  may capture the vibration of the door system  30  or the components thereof as the door is being operated. In still other embodiments the accelerometer  10  may capture the speed and/or acceleration at which the door opens and/or closes. Other sensors, such as one or more force sensors  12  may capture force information related to the operation of the door assembly. 
       FIG.  5 B  further illustrates in block  614  that the sensor data (e.g., related to the orientation, the rigidity, the vibration, the speed, the acceleration, and/or the like) received from the sensors (e.g., accelerometer, force sensor, or the like) of the door system  40  may be evaluated. One or more of the systems and/or applications thereof (e.g., the door system, the user system, a remote system on which at least a portion of an application may reside) may evaluate the data received from the sensors by comparing it against targets (e.g., stored threshold values, calculated values, or the like) in order to determine if the door system  40  or other components of the door assembly are installed properly. 
     For example, the evaluation of the orientation of the door system  40  may comprise comparing the horizonal and/or vertical location of the accelerometer  10  with a desired orientation as the door opens and/or closes, such as within a percentage, degree, or the like of horizonal, vertical, or the like. 
     In other examples, the evaluation of the rigidity of the door may include the variation of the movement of the accelerometer  10  in different directions (e.g., oscillation in different directions) as the door is opening and/or closing, which may indicate that the components of the door system  40  may not be installed properly (e.g., may not be tightly assembled, installed in the correct configurations, or the like), and thus, the components of the door system may rattle, or the like. The movement of the accelerometer  10  may be compared against a target movement which may be based on performance testing of a properly installed door system  40 . 
     In still other examples, the evaluation of the vibration of the door system  40  based on an accelerometer  10  may be compared to a target vibration that is based on a motor type, a door type (e.g., weight, or the like), and/or the desired operation of the door (e.g., speed, acceleration, or the like), which may also aid in identifying if one or more components of the door system  40  are installed properly. 
     In another example, the accelerometer  10  may be used to evaluate the acceleration and/or speed of the door as it opens or closes in comparison to a target acceleration and/or speed based on set operating parameters. The evaluation may aid in determining components of the door assembly (e.g., the door system  40  or components thereof, the door, the door frame, the thresholds, or the like) that may not have been installed properly. 
     In other examples, the one or more force sensors  12  may be used in order to determine a force required to operate the door, which may be used to determine proper installation of various components of the door assembly. The force sensor  12  may be used instead of the accelerometer  10  and/or along with the accelerometer to determine proper installation of the door assembly. 
     It should be understood that if the data received from the sensors  8  is outside the target values, the systems and/or associated applications may, for example, determine the cause of such issues, identify mitigation procedures, and/or the like and display the forgoing on a user interface. For example, one or more accelerometers  10  and/or force sensors  12  (or other sensors  8 ) may be used on the individual components within the door assembly. The evaluation of the sensors  8 , alone or in combination with each other, may allow for determination of the cause of the lack rigidity, undesired movement, undesired vibration, acceleration or speed that is too high or too low, increased force required to open and/or close the door, or the like. The cause of the issues may include hinges of the door are binding, the frame may be out of alignment with the door, the door threshold may be out of alignment with the door, the door system  40  or other components thereof may be out of alignment with each other or not installed properly, or the like. 
     It should be understood that the one or more sensors  8  described herein may be located anywhere within, on, adjacent to, or the like with respect to the door systems  40  and/or the components thereof. Moreover, the one or more sensors  8  may be placed in static location such that they cannot be moved or the one or more sensors  8  may be moveable to different locations during or after installation, as needed during the mounting process or during operation of the door system  40 . In some embodiments, the one or more sensors  8  may be mounted on the door instead of the door system  40 , either permanently or temporarily. 
     The data collection and/or evaluation may be performed automatically upon operation of the door system  40 , and a corresponding signal may be automatically transmitted to the controller  58 . The data collected and the evaluation thereof may be communicated (e.g., in an automatic notification) to the user computer system  30  and/or to the one or more output devices  206  of the control  204  by the controller  58 , such that the user (e.g., installer, or the like) can determine if the door system  40  is installed properly. Alternatively, a user may request a specific test using the one or more interfaces, and thereafter, the user receives data and/or an evaluation of the data for the test selected. 
     It should be understood that the installation of the door system  40  using the sensors  8  (e.g., accelerometer sensors  10 , force sensors  12 , and/or other sensors) may occur at the same time (e.g., single opening and closing which provides information from multiple types of sensors), or single sensors are reviewed individually (e.g., multiple door cycles are preformed to capture different data from various sensors  8 ). 
     Block  616  of  FIG.  5 B  further illustrates that a notification may be provided to a user, such as through information provided on output devices  206  of the door system  40  and/or on a user computer system  30 . The notification may be any type of notification, such as a notification within a user interface (e.g., an installation interface), an alert on a display, a pop-up window on the display, a text message, e-mail, or the like notification. The notification may provide details regarding the information of the one or more sensors  8 , such as the orientation data of the accelerometer  10 , the operating data of the accelerometer  10  and/or force sensor  12 , evaluation of the orientation of the door assembly or the components thereof, the evaluation of the operation of the door, and/or any other information related to the one or more sensors  8 . 
     For example, with respect to the evaluation of the accelerometer  10 , the notification may include information regarding whether or not the orientation, rigidity, acceleration, speed, and/or the like of the installation of the door system  40  meets orientation requirements (e.g., within a percent degree of horizontal or vertical, plum with a wall, the vibrations in the system are less than target levels, or the like), as well as information regarding how to correct any orientation and/or operation issues. For example, the notification may refer to the installation manual, troubleshooting information for the door system (e.g., alignment issues, installation points to check), testing to check the orientation or vibration issues, or the like. In other examples, with respect to the evaluation of the force sensor  12 , the notification may include information regarding the operation of the door system  40  as it relates to potential installation issues. For example, the notification may refer to the installation manual, troubleshooting information for the door system (e.g., linkages not properly installed, drive system  52  issues, hinge issues, door frame issues, threshold issues, or the like), testing to check the force issues (e.g., disengage the motor, linkages, remove the door threshold, or the like and open and/or close the door, or the like), or other like information. 
     Consequently, depending on the evaluation of the data from the sensors  8 , and the notifications related to how to troubleshoot the issues, adjustments to the installation of the door assembly may be made. After the adjustments the process returns to blocks  608 - 616  to provide additional testing of the door assembly by accessing the one or more sensors  8 , activating the door system  40 , receiving data, and/or the evaluations of the data, as previously described herein. 
       FIG.  5 B  further illustrates in block  618 , that the door system  40  may be monitored (e.g., continuously or periodically) in order to determine additional data from the one or more sensors  8  and/or evaluate such data to determine if the door assembly components are not operating as installed (e.g., have been hit and damaged, through wear and tear, have been tampered with, or the like) and/or as required (e.g., under changed operating requirements, or the like). Consequently, a user (e.g., maintenance technician, or the like) may review any sensor data and evaluation thereof when the user is servicing the door assembly, and/or a notification may be sent to the user (e.g., onsite, offset, or the like) when the sensor data (e.g., orientation, operation, or the like) identifies that the door assembly operates outside of any installation requirements. 
     In addition to setting up the installed door system  40 , as described with respect to  FIG.  5 A  and  FIGS.  6 A- 6 E , the operating parameters of the installed door system  40  may be cloned and provided to other door systems  40 .  FIG.  5 C  illustrates a process flow  700  for a cloning system (e.g., smart cloning system) for cloning operating parameters between two or more door systems  40 . As will be described in further detail with respect to  FIG.  5 C , operating parameters from one or more primary door systems  40  (e.g., a single door system  40  or multiple door systems  40 ) may be accessed and cloned (e.g., copied, or the like) in order to quickly and effectively set up secondary door systems  40  (e.g., a single secondary door system  40  or multiple secondary door systems  40 ). It should be understood that as used herein with respect to the door systems  40 , “primary” and “secondary” means different door systems  40 , such that the operating parameters of at least one door system  40  are being cloned for use with at least one other door system  40 . As such, any door system  40  may be a primary or secondary door system depending on the door system  40  from which the operating parameters are being cloned and the door system  40  to which the operating parameters are being provided. Moreover, a door system  40  may be both a primary door system  40  and a secondary door system  40  if at least one of its operating parameters are being cloned and at it is receiving at least one cloned operating parameter. As such, instead of a user accessing each door system  40  and programing the operating parameters of each door system individually (e.g., an installer during installation, a service provider adjusting and/or performing maintenance with respect to the door systems, a service provider changing settings to meet governmental requirements, or the like), the user may be able to quickly clone and distribute the operating parameters of one or more door systems  40  to one or more other door systems  40 . As will be further described herein, the operating parameters of the door systems  40  may be cloned and provided through the door systems  40  communicating directly with each other, through one or more user computer systems  30  acting as an intermediary (e.g., a mobile device, such as a smart phone, or the like), and/or through a centralized computer system acting as an intermediary, or the like. The cloned operating parameters may be actual operating parameters for a physical door system  40  that is being installed and/or in current operation. However, in some embodiments, the cloned operating parameters may be from a virtual door system that is not a specific physical door system  40 , but a representation of a door system  40 . As such, an application may store multiple pre-defined door operating configurations (e.g., configurations for physical door systems  40  and/or virtual door systems) which may be provided to (e.g., pushed to, pulled by, or the like) secondary door systems to quickly and easily set up physical door systems  40 . Alternatively, the cloned operating parameters may be useful in providing customized door system operating parameters that are not already pre-defined to other door systems  40 . 
     Block  702  of  FIG.  5 C  illustrates that one or more primary door systems  40  authorize access by a user, such as through a user computer system  30  or accessing the door system  40  directly through the use of the control  204  of the door system  40 . For example, as previously described in Blocks  501 - 503  of  FIG.  5 A , a connection (e.g., a wired connection, a wireless connection  32 , or the like) between the controller  58  and the control  204  and/or the user computer system  30  is established. For example, the door system  40  may receive a user authentication at the controller  58  through the control  204  and/or through the user computer system  30  (or through another system that communicates with the controller  58 ) to authenticate the user. In some embodiments, a user may enter authentication requirements (e.g., login and password, or the like) into an input device  208  of the door system  40  when accessing the door system  40  directly, and/or into the user computer system  30  when the user is accessing the door system  40  through a wireless connection  32  using a user computer system  30  (e.g., a mobile device). Additionally, and/or alternatively, the user may access the door system  40  by connecting the user computer system  30  to the door system  40  through a wired connection (e.g., plugging the user computer system  40  into an input  140 , such as through a USB chord, using another device with a USB, or using another connection to an input  140  of the controller  58 ). In some embodiments of the invention, when accessing the door system  40 , the user may be automatically authenticated based on the user having the user computer system  30  within range of the door system  40 , as previously described herein. 
     Block  704  of  FIG.  5 C  illustrates that once the user accessing the primary door system (e.g., directly through the control  204  and/or through a user computer system  30 ) is authorized, the door system  40  may establish a communication with the user computer system  30  and/or secondary door systems  40 . It should be understood that a primary door system  40  may communicate directly with a secondary door system  40  (or vice versa), alternatively, the communication between the door systems  40  may be facilitated by a user computer system  30  (e.g., a mobile device, service, remote computer system, or the like). Alternatively, the communication link may only be made between the door system  40  (e.g., primary door system and/or secondary door system) and the user computer system  30  (e.g., a mobile device, a memory storage—USB memory, or the like, other like device). For example, a USB memory device, or other like device may be inserted into an input  140  in the controller  58  in order communicate with one or more processors  22  and/or memories  24  of the door system  40  in order to clone and/or set operating parameters. 
     Blocks  706  and  708  illustrate the situation where the door system  40  being accessed is the primary door system  40  having the operating parameters being cloned for distribution to the secondary door system  40 . Alternatively, blocks  710  and  712  illustrate the situation in which the door system  40  being accessed is a secondary door system  40  receiving the cloned operating parameters of the primary door system  40 . 
     As illustrated by block  706  in  FIG.  5 C , the primary door system  40  receives a selection of the one or more operating parameters to clone (e.g., copy, or the like). It should be understood that the selection of the one or more operating parameters may be made directly from the control  204  of the primary door system  40  or from an application on the user computer system  30  (e.g., mobile device, other hardware device). The one or more operating parameters selected for cloning may include all of the operating parameters of the door system  40 , or it may be a selection of particular operating parameters, such that only some of the operating parameters may be cloned for distribution to the secondary door systems  40 . As such, a user may select specific operating parameters (e.g., speed, acceleration, but not opening duration and spring setting for the opening force, vice versa, or the like) to be cloned. Consequently, only the operating parameters that are going to be distributed to the one or more secondary door systems may be cloned for distribution. For example, should new operating requirements be required for some operating parameters of some door systems  40  (e.g., new operating requirements based on location—internal door, external door; area of use—between rooms with different environmental conditions; door type—door weight, size; or the like) only some of the operating parameters of a primary door system  40  may be cloned. The cloned operating parameters may be stored (e.g., within the primary door system  40  being accessed, within a user computer system  30 , and/or both) for distribution to the relevant secondary door systems  40 . It should be understood that the cloned operating parameters may be selected from a single primary door system  40  or from two or more primary door systems  40 . For example, a user using a user computer system  30  may select one or more operating parameters from a first primary door system  40  and one or more operating parameters from a second primary door system  40  located in a different place in order to create the cloned operating parameters. Moreover, it should be further understood that while the cloned operating parameters may be described as being captured from a physical door system  40 , the cloned operating parameters may be cloned from one or more virtual door systems  40 . 
     Block  708  of  FIG.  5 C  illustrates that the one or more cloned operating parameters from the one or more primary door systems  40  are provided to one or more secondary door systems  40  (e.g., pushed out to the secondary door system  40 , or pulled by the secondary door system  40 ). The cloned operating parameters may be provided to a single secondary door system  40  or multiple secondary door systems  40 . The one or more secondary door systems  40  to which the cloned operating parameters are provided may be selected by the user or may be automatically determined (e.g., automatically determined based on the same type of door system  40 —such as the same model, same type of location of the door system  40 —such as all door systems  40  on external doors, or the like). As described herein, in some embodiments the primary door system  40  may communicate directly with the secondary door system  40  in order to provide the cloned operating parameters to the secondary door system  40 . Alternatively, the user computer system  30  (e.g., mobile device, or the like) may wirelessly provide the cloned operating parameters to the secondary computer system  40 . As further described herein, the user computer system (e.g., a USB memory, a mobile device, or the like) may be directly connected (e.g., plugged into) to an input  140  of the secondary door systems  40  to provide the cloned operating parameters to the secondary door systems  40 . 
     Returning to block  710  of  FIG.  5 C , instead of accessing the primary door system  40 , a secondary door system  40  may be accessed in order to provide the cloned operating parameters to the secondary door system  40 . As illustrated in block  710 , the secondary door system  40  may receive a selection of the one or more operating parameters to replace with cloned operating parameters. The selection of the one or more operating parameters may be made directly through the controller  204  on the secondary door system  40  or through the use of the user computer system  30  wirelessly connected or connected through an input  140  on the secondary door system  40 . The user may select individual operating parameters to be modified, groups of operating parameters to be modified, or may make a general selection to modify one or more operating parameters (e.g., the cloned parameters provided will replace the related operating parameters in the secondary door system  40 ). 
     As illustrated in block  712 , the secondary door system  40  may receive one or more cloned operating parameters from one or more primary door systems  40  (e.g., cloned operating parameters from physical door systems, virtual door systems, or the like). The one or more secondary door systems  40  may receive the cloned operating parameters directly from the primary door system  40 , or from a user computer system  30  (e.g., wirelessly, or through a hardware connection with an input  140  of the secondary door system  40 ), as previously discussed herein (e.g., pushed by, or pulled from, the primary door system  40  or user computer system  30 , or the like). 
       FIG.  5 C  further illustrates in block  714  that the one or more secondary door systems that receive the one or more cloned operating parameters set the one or more cloned operating parameters. For example, the stored operating parameters currently in the secondary door systems  40  may be modified, such as new operating parameters are added, current operating parameters are deleted, and/or current operating parameters are changed based on the one or more cloned operating parameters. It should be understood, that in some embodiments, all of the cloned operating parameters provided to and/or received by the secondary door system  40  are set in the secondary door system  40 . Alternatively, only the operating parameters selected for modification are modified with the cloned operating parameters, even if cloned operating parameters are received for other stored operating parameters that were not selected for modification. It should be understood that, cloned operating parameters may be stored within the memory  24  of the controller  58 , such that the secondary door system  40  will operate in accordance with the stored operating parameters (e.g., cloned operating parameters and/or any remaining operating parameters not modified). 
     Block  716  of  FIG.  5 C  illustrates that one or more notifications may be provided related to the process of cloning the operating parameters. The notifications may include confirmation that the operating parameters have been cloned from the one or more primary door systems  40 , the cloned operating parameters have been provided to the one or more secondary door systems  40 , the one or more secondary door systems  40  have been updated with the cloned operating parameters, or other like notifications related to the process. The notifications may be provided to the primary door system  40  from which the operating parameters were cloned; to the secondary door systems  40  to which the cloned operating parameters were provided and/or set; to the one or more user computer systems  30  through which the operating parameters were cloned from the one or more primary door systems  30  and/or provided to the secondary door systems  40 ; or the like. As such, a notification may appear on one or more output devices  206  of the control  204  of the door systems  40  or on an interface on the user computer system  30 . The one or more notifications may be provided to the user computer system  30  that facilitated the cloning of the cloned operating parameters and/or providing of the cloned operating parameters to the secondary door systems  40 . Alternatively, the one or more notifications may be provided any other user computer system  30  for reporting purposes (e.g., other installers, supervisors, maintenance representatives, or the like). 
     The embodiments of the invention disclosed herein provide numerous improvements over current door system (e.g., door operators, door closers, or the like), such as at least reducing installation time, improving installation quality, reducing component degradation, increasing the life of the door systems and components thereof, providing improved notification of installation and operation issues with the door systems, providing remote set-up or modification of operating parameters during installation or in response to changing operating requirement, providing operating update to multiple door systems at the same time, or the like.
