Adding S5 Keys

This section describes how to add S5 keys to iLOQ Locking System.

Note:

You do not necessarily need the actual physical keys when you add keys to iLOQ 5 Series Manager. You can define the keys and attach them to the physical keys 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 key.
  4. 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".

  5. Optional: If multiple time zones are in use, select the key time zone from the Key time zone drop down list.
  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 S5 key key type.
  10. Click Next.
  11. Select if automatic renewal of end date is in use or not.

    If an end date and time are defined for the key, you can define an automatic renewal of end date for the key.

    If renewal is in use, the key user can postpone the end time by using the key on the online reader. You cannot access locks without renewing the expiry interval.

    If you enable the automatic renewal for the key, select the hours before the expiry moment when you get the new period. Select the period of extension. Also, select the end time for the renewal.

  12. Click Next.
  13. Select the Key expiry interval.

    You can set a key expiry interval for the key. The key expiry interval is a security feature that requires the user to refresh keys from the server at regular intervals to ensure that the access rights are always up to date.

    If a system default key expiry interval is defined, it is suggested for the key. You can define a key-specific expiry interval by editing the suggested time.

    By default, a Key fob is an offline device. In that regard, the key expiry interval is the validity time of the Key fob.

    However, when a Key fob obtains a server connection, the key expiry interval is reset. A Key fob obtains a server connection remotely over-the-air by using the iLOQ FobApp application.

  14. Click Next.
  15. Optional: Select the estate for the key.
  16. Click Next.
  17. If necessary, select the person whom the key 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.

  18. Click Next.
  19. Optional: Select the zone for the key.

    This selection defines the user's zones on which the key is visible.

  20. Click Next.
  21. Select the access right(s) for the key.
    1. Select the desired access right in the list on the left. Select, for example, "Master access right" for the "Master key".
    2. You can manage the selection of access rights with the arrow buttons as follows:
      • — Click the Arrows right button to move all items to the list.
      • — Click the Arrow right button to move the selected item(s) to the list.
      • — Click the Arrow left button to remove the selected item(s) from the list.
      • — Click the Arrows left button to remove all items from the list.
  22. Click Next.
  23. Define the key time profile settings for the key.

    Select either:

    • Time profiles not in use — Time profiles will not be use on the key.

    • Select time profiles — Select this option to select time profiles for the key.

      You can manage the selection of time profiles with the arrow buttons as follows:

      • — Click the Arrows right button to move all items to the list.
      • — Click the Arrow right button to move the selected item(s) to the list.
      • — Click the Arrow left button to remove the selected item(s) from the list.
      • — Click the Arrows left button to remove all items from the list.

      If you have selected:

      • A fixed time profile, you can view its content in the area to the right.

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

  24. Click Next.
  25. Select the main zone for the key.

    The main zone defines the zone where the key's blocklist is fetched from. See Main Zone of the Key.

  26. Click Next.
  27. Select the number of keys to be created.

    Select also the naming convention for the keys. The options are:

    • Create equally named — All keys are named with the same name.

    • Increase number — Keys are individually numbered.

  28. Click Next.
  29. 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.

    • Order and program key — Select Order and program key if you want to create the programming task and execute it at once.

    • Order, program and handover key — Select Order, program and handover key if you want to create the programming task, execute it at once for a key at hand, and handover the key.
