Creating a locking device
Depending on the type of locking device, locking devices can be:
- Engaged to open with an identification medium. The user can then open the door with the locking device (cylinder, SmartHandle).
- Activated with an identification medium. The switch contact can then open a door (SmartRelay).
See “Engaging”, “opening”, “locking”, etc. for more information on this topic.
In line with best practice requirements (see Best practice: setting up the locking system), SimonsVoss recommends that you first plan things out in preparation:
- Authorisation groups (see Authorisation groups for background information )
- Creating an area (see Areas for background information )
- Creating a schedule or Create time group (see Time groups and schedules for background information)
- Creating a time switchover (see Time switchovers for background information )
- Creating a location or Creating a building and assigning it to a location (see Buildings and locations for background information)
- Creating a hashtag (see Hashtags for background information )
NOTE
Hidden settings
As soon as you have created the locking device and clicked on the Schließungseigenschaften: Fertiigstellen [offen]button, AXM Classic knows your locking device type. It will then hide all non-relevant settings.
- AXM Classic open.
- Click on the
button. - The window for creating a new locking device will open.
- Select the area to which your locking device belongs from the drop-down menu.
- Select which locking devices you wish to create from the drop-down menu.
NOTE
Recognising a locking device automatically
You may not know which entry to select from the drop-down list yet. AXM Classic also provides you with the entry.
AXM Classic does not save the detected locking device type until you actually programme the locking device. The options in the tab are also extended or hidden to match the locking device type at this time.
- Name your locking device in the field.
- If necessary, enter the number of the room where your locking device will be installed in the field.
- If necessary, enter the floor on which your locking device will be installed in the field.
- Select the location where your locking device will be installed from the drop-down menu.
- Selection in the drop-down menu is limited to the buildings in the selected location.
- Select the building where your locking device is installed from the drop-down menu.
- If you wish to use time functions: Expand the menu and make the settings (see Limiting authorisations for locking devices to specific times (schedule) and Engaging and disengaging locking devices automatically with time switchover for details).
NOTE
Public holiday lists in locking device and locations
You can assign public holiday lists to both a locking device and the locking device’s location. In this case, the public holiday list is used in the locking device and the public holiday list in the location is ignored.
If a public holiday list is assigned to the location instead of the locking device, the public holiday list for the location is applied to the locking device. The suffix "(inherited)” in the locking device window indicates that this is the case.
