See the appropriate software manual to learn the details of how to program and read the
transponder but the following should be helpful.
7.1 Programming a Transponder
Before it can be used with a lock system, the Transponder must be programmed. This pro-
gramming is necessary to give it the identification code assigned by the lock system and to
give it the encryption key appropriate to that system.
Before you can program a transponder you must be authorized to do so. This is accomplished
in the SimonsVoss software by selecting the function titled Authorize Transponder Program-
ming and providing the appropriate password.
To program a transponder, it must be placed within 18 inches but no closer than four inches to
the configuration tool, which is connected to the computer running the programming software.
In the SimonsVoss software select the transponder you want to program on the lock plan by
left-clicking on the transponder name; resulting in that transponder being highlighted.
Select the function titled Program Transponder. A dialog will appear and you should confirm
that the appropriate transponder is indicated before pressing the Program button. If for some,
reason, the transponder listed is not the correct one, simply select the correct one from the
combo box before proceeding. The software will then direct you to press the button on the
transponder one or more times. Follow the instructions and the software will tell you whether
the procedure was successful or not.
If it was not successful, the reasons may be one of the following:
1) The transponder was too close to the configuration tool – move the transponder at least 4
inches away from the configuration tool and try again.
2) The transponder has already been programmed for three different systems – to use with
this system the transponder must be reset (losing the other programming information).
3) There is too much RF interference – move the computer, configuration tool, and trans-
ponder to another location and try again.
7.2 Reading a Transponder
Before it can be used with a lock system, the Transponder must be programmed. This pro-
gramming is necessary to give it the identification code assigned by the lock system and to
give it the encryption key appropriate to that system.
After the lock has been programmed, the Transponder can be read and will disclose the user
name and time restrictions, if any. If the Transponder is unknown to the lock system, reading
it will result in the display of the SID (system identification) and TID (transponder identifica-
tion).
In order to read a transponder, select the Read Transponder function in either the LDB or LSM
software. This function will direct you to press the button on the Transponder and will then
display the result.
