Virtual - System 3060

A direct networking ("WaveNet") requires a network board ("LockNode") at each locking device to be networked and sufficient base stations ("RouterNode") to reach all LockNodes.

Alternatively, the virtual network is available to you. The virtual network does not use radio for data transmission, but exploits the fact that users with writeable identification media are moving within a locking system. The data is written to the identification media at some central points ("gateways") and is carried by users to all locking devices throughout the day. Users also carry data from the locking devices to the gateways at the same time with their identification media.

The gateways are the only components with a direct connection to the LSM database and are always up to date. They function as a simplified, outsourced programming device.

If an identification medium is presented, the gateway checks whether:

• data is available in the database which must be transported to the locking device (e.g. "block transponder 1").
• data from the locking device is available in the identification medium that is to be written to the database (e.g. "Transponder 1 is blocked").

You can also create a stock of transponders. Program some transponders and place them in a box. If someone is to receive a transponder, the transponder just needs to be given to that person. The gateway recognises the transponder and programs the permissions assigned in the LSM onto the transponder.
