Adding areas and person groups to access levels - AXM Classic

This section explains how to add multiple locking devices to access levels quickly using areas. The process for person groups/identification media is similar.

Ideally, you will have already created your access levels before creating the locking devices (see Best practice: setting up the locking system and Creating access levels). This allows you to set access levels directly in locking device and identification medium properties when you create locking devices and identification media:

You can use areas to quickly add several locking devices to access levels:

  1. AXM Classic open.
  2. Access levels created (see Creating access levels).
  3. At least one area created (see Creating an area).
  4. At least one locking device has been assigned to the area (see Moving locking devices to areas).
  1. Click the orange AXM button .
  2. AXM bar opens.
  3. Select the Access levels entry in the LOCKING SYSTEM CONTROL group.
  4. The AXM bar will close.
  5. The Access levels tab will open.
  6. Select another locking system in the drop-down menu or select the All drop-down entry to display the access levels in all locking systems.
  7. Click on the access level to which you wish to add locking devices and identification media.
  8. The access level window will open.
  9. Click on the Locks tab.

    notice

  16. The selected locking device in the left-hand column is added to the access level.
