Adding Keys to Locks

This section describes how to add keys to the selected locks on iLOQ Manager.

When you add keys to locks, you typically add, for example, several apartment-specific or office-specific keys for a large number of locks at the deployment phase. Do not use this feature for adding single keys.

Note:

Mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk (*).

Proceed as follows.

  1. Select Basic data > Browse locks.

  2. Select the locks that you want to create the keys for.
  3. Right-click one of the selected locks.
  4. Select Create keys for locks.
  5. Select Add keys to locks.
    The Add keys to locks wizard is opened.
  6. Select Add keys to locks.
  7. Select the access rights for the key.
    Note:

    Individual, lock-specific access rights will be automatically set. Do not select individual access rights.

    1. Select the desired access right in the list on the left.
    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 selection list.
      • — Click the Arrow right button to move the selected item(s) to the selection list.
      • — Click the Arrow left button to remove the selected item(s) from the selection list.
      • — Click the Arrows left button to remove all items from the selection list.
  8. If necessary, set the keys as time-limited by selecting Define time limitations.

    You can define two different time limits as follows:

    • Start date or Week Calendar for the first time limitation.
    • Key is valid to or Week Calendar for the second time limitation.
    Note:

    When you define the time limits, you define the times when the key is enabled.

    The options are:

    • Not in use — If you select this radio button, the key is not time-limited. The key is always enabled.

    • Start date — If you select this radio button, the key is time-limited on locks that have time-limit 1 enabled. The key is enabled as of the date and time you define in the date and time fields.

    • Week Calendar — If you select this radio button, the key is time-limited on locks that have time-limit 1 enabled. The key is enabled on the weekly times you define in the calendar.

    • Key is valid to — If you select this radio button, the key is time-limited on locks that have time-limit 2 enabled. The key is enabled until the date and time you define in the date and time fields.

    • Week Calendar — If you select this radio button, the key is time-limited on locks that have time-limit 2 enabled. The key is enabled on the weekly times you define in the calendar.

    Tip:

    If you want to define an overnight time limit, such as from Monday 6 p.m to Tuesday 7 a.m, set the start time in the beginning time field, and the end time in the ending time field. If the start time is later than the end time, the system automatically allows for the day change at midnight.

    You can see a calendar preview on the defined limits by clicking the Preview button.

    • If necessary, type in an extension that will be added for the created key names, in the Extension to be added to the name field.

    The options are:
    • Leave key in planning state — Select Leave keys in planning state if you want to leave the keys in the planning state, and continue planning the locking system without, for example, programming any physical keys.
    • Order key — Keys must be ordered, before they can be programmed. Ordering creates a programming task for the key, for later programming. For more information, see Keys and Ordering Keys.
