Welcome to iLOQ Support

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

1. Select Basic data > Browse keys.

   

2. Select Add key.
   The Add key wizard is opened.
3. Select Add key.
4. Name the key in the The name / description of the key field.
   Tip:

   Use, for example, "Master key" or "Employee".

5. If necessary, enter the planned return date in the Planned return date field.
6. Select Next.
7. If necessary, select the person whom the key will be handed over to.
   Tip:

   If the desired person does not exist on the person list, you can add a new person by right-clicking to select Add new person.

8. Select Next.
9. Select the access right(s) for the key.
   1. Select the desired access right in the list on the left. Select, for example, "Master access right" for the "Master key".
   2. You can manage the selection of access rights with the arrow buttons as follows:
      • — Click the Arrows right button to move all items to the selection list.
      • — Click the Arrow right button to move the selected item(s) to the selection list.
      • — Click the Arrow left button to remove the selected item(s) from the selection list.
      • — Click the Arrows left button to remove all items from the selection list.
10. If necessary, set the key as time-limited by selecting Define time limitations.

    You can define two different time limits as follows:

    • Start date or Week Calendar for the first time limitation.
    • Key is valid to or Week Calendar for the second time limitation.

    Note:

    When you define the time limits, you define the times when the key is enabled.

    The options are:

    • Not in use — If you select this radio button, the key is not time-limited. The key is always enabled.

    • Start date — If you select this radio button, the key is time-limited on locks that have time-limit 1 enabled. The key is enabled as of the date and time you define in the date and time fields.

      

    • Week Calendar — If you select this radio button, the key is time-limited on locks that have time-limit 1 enabled. The key is enabled on the weekly times you define in the calendar.

      

    • Key is valid to — If you select this radio button, the key is time-limited on locks that have time-limit 2 enabled. The key is enabled until the date and time you define in the date and time fields.

    Tip:

    If you want to define an overnight time limit, such as from Monday 6 p.m to Tuesday 7 a.m, set the start time in the beginning time field, and the end time in the ending time field. If the start time is later than the end time, the system automatically allows for the day change at midnight.

    • Leave key in planning state — Select Leave keys in planning state if you want to leave the key in the planning state, and continue planning the locking system without, for example, programming any physical keys.
    • Order key — Keys must be ordered, before they can be programmed. Ordering creates a programming task for the key, for later programming. For more information, see Keys and Ordering Keys.
    • Order and program key — Select Order and program key to order a programming task, and to program the key at once. For more information, see Programming Keys.
    • Order, program and hand over key — Select Order, program and hand over key to order a programming task, and to program the key, and to hand over the key to a person, at once.

The iLOQ Network Module enables the remote programming of locks and keys through the Internet. By using the iLOQ Network Module, you do not have to travel to the lock connected to a network module, to program the lock.

The figure below depicts the iLOQ Network Module operating principle.

There are four types of network modules:

• Net bridge — Net bridge is connected to a number of door modules. It requests the server for tasks related to the door modules, and the locks connected to the modules. The locks obtain the time from Net bridge.

  Net bridge is part of the iLOQ S10 Online product family.

• Net box — Net box is connected to a number of locks, and it requests the server for tasks related to those locks. The locks obtain the time from Net box.

  Net Box polls the server with one-hour intervals, and checks if any changes have been made to the settings, or if there are any lock programming tasks waiting in the queue. If needed, you can carry out programming immediately by inserting one of the locking system keys in the key programming hot spot; in this case, the network module polls the server immediately.

  It is also possible to configure Net Box in such a way that modifications are sent from the server to the network module immediately. This requires certain measures on the customer network (for example, a firewall protocol).

  Through Net box, you can remotely:

  • Change the access rights of a lock.
  • Fetch the lock audit trail.
  • Blacklist a lost key.
  • Control two relay outputs. You can use the relay outputs to operate relays for various purposes. You can, for example, create schedules for the relay-connected motor locks. In this way, you can allow access without a key to premises during daytime on weekdays, and keep the doors locked at night and on weekends.

• However, it is not possible to accidentally reset locks, or make the initial programming of locks through Net box.

  If a Key programming hotspot is connected to Net box, you can also:

  • Change the access rights of a key.
  • Change the time limitations of a key.
  • Convert an existing key to a replacement key.

• Key scheduler — Key scheduler is a robot that you can use to automatically:

  • Change key end dates within a defined time interval.
  • Increase the access right version number within a defined time interval.

• If a Key programming hotspot is connected to Key scheduler, you can also:

  • Change the access rights of a key.
  • Change the time limitations of a key.
  • Convert an existing key to a replacement key.

• Remote station — Remote station is a convenient way to centrally manage iLOQ S10 Locking System, but distribute the offline lock programming tasks across the field.

  In practice, Remote station is a locked box that contains:

  • Initialised keys that can be taken in use remotely.
  • The Programmer for programming the remote offline locks and, of course, keys.

If you want to:

• Add a Net Bridge, see Preparing Net Bridge which you will find under iLOQ S10 Online System and Devices.

• Add a Net Box, see Adding a Net Box which you will find under iLOQ S10 Administration Guide.

• Add a Key Scheduler, see Adding a Key Scheduler which you will find under iLOQ S10 Administration Guide.
