2.0 Setting up a Lock Plan
2.1 Creating a new Lock System
Choose New > Lock System. Enter the name of the Lock System (for example your
company name). Then press the Tab key.
The software will now ask for the password for the Lock System. Make sure you do
not lose or forget the password. If you do lose it, you will not be able to make changes
to the Lock Plan or perform tasks using the Configuration Device. The password
guards your Lock System. You should therefore treat it like a debit card PIN or other
personal secret code, and never give it to anyone who is not authorized to use it.
Never use obvious character sequences such as birthdays or first names. It is best to
use combinations of words and numbers that would never be found in a dictionary but
are easy for you to remember.
Enter the password and confirm it, taking care to use the correct upper and lower
case characters. Define whether you would like to operate the Lock System in
Overlay Mode (see ‘System manual, Legend’), then click on OK.
2.2 Define door names
The next step is to enter the first door name (i.e., Main Entrance). Choose a unique
name that can be clearly distinguished; using room numbers is one way of doing this.
Select the component that you are using (i.e., US Lock). The default setting is US
Lock. If you would like to set up more locks, then click OK & Continue, otherwise
click on OK & Finish.
You can change the name of a lock at any time; reprogramming is not
necessary.
You can also import the names of the locks from an existing database; for
more information, refer to the section of this manual on importing and
exporting.
