Adding a Copy of an Existing RFID Credential

This section describes how to add a copy of an existing RFID credential to iLOQ Locking System.

Note:

You do not necessarily need the actual physical RFID credentials when you add credentials to iLOQ 5 Series Manager. You can define the credentials and attach them to the physical credentials at a later phase.

Note:

Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).

Proceed as follows.

  1. Select Basic data > Browse keys.

  2. Select Add key.
    The Add key wizard is opened.
  3. Select Add copy of existing key.
  4. Select the key to be copied.
  5. Name the key in The name / description of the key field.
    Tip:

    Use, for example, "Master key" or "Employee".

    Tip:

    If you want to create several individually numbered keys, enter the starting number at the end of the name. For example, if you create two keys and enter "Key 4" in this field, you will get "Key 4" and "Key 5".

  6. Define the Start date for the key.

    This value defines the start date and time for key validity, that is, the key starts to operate on this time.

  7. Define the End date for the key.

    This value defines the end date and time for key validity, that is, the key stops to operate on this time.

  8. If necessary, enter the planned return date in the Planned return date field.
    Note:

    This field is informative only, for the administrator. The value does not affect the key validity.

  9. Select the RFID credential key type.
  10. Click Next.
  11. Optional: Select the estate for the RFID credential.
  12. Click Next.
  13. If necessary, select the person whom the RFID credential will be handed over to.

    If you are creating a mass of keys, do not select any person at this phase.

    Tip:

    If the desired person does not exist on the person list, you can add a new person by right-clicking to select Add new person.

  14. Click Next.

      • An editable time profile, you can view and edit its content for this specific RFID credential, in the area to the right.

  24. Click Next.
  25. Select how to proceed:

    • Leave key in planning state — Select Leave key in planning state if you want to leave the key in the planning state, and program the key later.

    • Order key — Select Order key if you want to create the programming task, but execute it later, or remotely program the key through a phone.

    • Order and postpone programming on Hot Spot — Select Order and postpone programming on Hot Spot if you want to postpone the programming task until the key is used on the Key programming Hot Spot.

      Define also the time as of which the programming task is available on the Key programming Hot Spot.

      This option is only visible, if iLOQ Online system and Key programming Hot Spot functionality are enabled.

      This option cannot be used for new keys, only for key changes.
