Common locking level - LSM 3.5 SP3 Basic Online

Several locking systems may be managed within a project. Typical scenarios are shown here as an example:

• A company with multiple locations/buildings
• A company has individual branch offices in different locations. Employees normally always work in the same branch. However, special person groups need access to a number of branches or buildings.
• In this case, the individual branches or buildings are divided into separate locking systems. An employee from the main branch also needs to be authorised to use doors at other locations. This main branch employee is thus linked into the locking system at the other branch, where individual authorisations can also be configured.
• A building with several occupants
• A building has several occupants. The individual occupants need their own locking systems. However, the occupants need to share different locking devices, such as those on cabinets, turnstiles and the main entrance.
• In this case, the individual occupants are divided into separate locking systems. A common locking level is also created, where all shared locking devices are added, for example. Persons and/or areas are added to the parent locking system and their corresponding authorisations are configured at the same time.
• Fire service transponder for selected locking devices in all locking systems
• Special fire service transponders to place in a key tube safe contain authorisations for all doors in a building. This allows the fire service to open all locking devices with a transponder in the event of a fire.
• In this case, a new common locking level is created, marked in red, where the area properties are used to add all required doors in the project. A "Fire service" transponder group is also created, which is authorised by clicking on all doors in the "red" common locking level.

General notes on comment locking levels:

• If a locking device or a transponder is linked into another locking plan, this linked object behaves in the same way as the original. If the original transponder or locking device is changed or deleted, this change in status has a direct effect on the linked object in the other locking system.
• The red level contains special characteristics, such as the opening of deactivated locking devices, which have been specially designed for the fire service. Only use this level for access in emergencies if at all possible.

NOTE

All locking devices must be reprogrammed if pre-programmed locking devices are added to a common locking level. Look out for the newly generated programming requirement, which is indicated by a programming flash icon.
