Adding a New Lock

This section describes how to add locks to iLOQ Locking System.

Note:

You do not necessarily need the actual physical locks to add locks in iLOQ Locking System. You can define the locks and associate them with the physical locks at a later phase.

Proceed as follows.

  1. Select Basic data > Browse locks.

  2. Select Add lock.
    The Add lock wizard is opened.
  3. Select Add lock.
  4. Define the lock settings as follows:
    • PlacementPlacement refers to the location of the lock on the floor plan. If you are adding several locks at a time, set the first placement in a way that it ends with a number, such as A1. In this way, the system adds consecutive placement numbers as follows:
      • A1
      • A2
      • A3
      • ...
    • Approach directionApproach direction refers to the direction where the lock will be opened from, if the door is equipped with double side lock.
    • Locking targetLocking target provides a more detailed description or name of the room or premises, where the lock will lead to.

      If you are adding several locks at a time, set the first locking target in a way that it ends with a number, such as Door 1. In this way, the system adds consecutive locking targets as follows:

      • Door 1
      • Door 2
      • Door 3
      • ...
    • Lock cylinderLock cylinder refers to the lock cylinder type. Select the type in the drop-down list, or enter the type manually.
    • Allow API access rights — Check Allow API access rights to allow Application Programming Interface (API) access rights for the lock.

    • Online authentication required — Check the Online authentication required, if you want to create a high-security lock that requires server authentication each time the lock is opened.

      Note:

      Online authentication lengthens the lock opening time.

      If you have allowed API access rights, and checked the Online authentication required, select also one or both of the options below:

      • For API access rights — If you check this check box, the lock requires online authentication from a key that has an API access right. If you do not check this check box, the lock can opened without online authentication, by a key that has an API access right.

      • For standard access rights — If you check this check box, the lock requires online authentication from a key that has a standard access right. If you do not check this check box, the lock can opened without online authentication, by a key that has a standard access right.

  5. Select Next.
  6. Enter additional information as necessary.

    The fields are:

    • Door typeDoor type refers to the type of door where the lock will be mounted on.

    • Apply all time profiles on a key — If you select this option, the lock applies all time profiles on keys.

    • Apply selected time profiles — If you select this option, the lock only applies the selected time profiles on keys. If the selected time profiles do not match with the key time profiles, the key functions all the time.

      • — Click the Arrows left button to remove all items from the selection list.

      You can view the content of a time profile on the area to the right, by selecting the profile with your mouse.

    Regardless of your selection, the lock always applies the key validity start and end dates and times.

  16. Select Next.
