Installation and Login Install the MS1 software from the MSI package. The MS1 icon will now appear on your desktop. Double click this icon to start the MS1 program. If your copy of the MS1 is not yet registered you will see the following screen (or screens). Click Register to register your software with Westinghouse. Please note: you should have a registration key available to you prior to filling out the Registration form.
Upon the expiration of your complementary 30-day trial period, your login screen will appear as below and you will need to acquire a valid registration key. Assuming your trial period is still in effect, click Continue to start the program without registration. Click Exit to end MS1. After launching a licensed (registered) copy of the MS1 or clicking Continue on the trial version shown above, you will see the Login Screen. The Administrator (Administrator) user is created by default.
You will then be asked for your password. The default password for Administrator is blank (i.e. no characters). Click OK to proceed. Note: it is strongly recommended that you visit the Settings tab, modify this user (Administrator), and define a password, fingerprint, or both for future authentication and access to this program. Overview and Z-Wave Setup Guide You will then see the Overview screen.
Regardless, once you select Next you will be taken to the Finish screen.
The Overview screen shows a summary of the lock groups, locks, and user count for all locks administered by your MS1. Nothing is shown in this picture since no locks have yet been created. Lock This tab is used to manage lock groups, locks, and users for the MS1 database. Clicking Lock shows the screen below. The left pane shows a tree view of the lock groups and locks within the groups. The top right pane shows the individual locks. The lower right pane shows the users.
Lock Groups A lock group must be created before any locks can be added. Lock groups may be created in two ways. 1. Click the blue folder icon above the left pane, or right click the yellow folder icon at the top of the left pane. 2. Select Add New Group in the flyout menu. 3. After taking either of these actions, the Add new group name entry screen will be displayed. Enter the group name and an optional description. The group name is not case sensitive.
Adding a Lock A lock may be created in two ways: click the blue lock icon (lock shown with + sign) at the top of the form or right click on the group name in the left pane. Select Add New Lock in the flyout menu. The Lock Wizard screen will then appear. Click Next to continue. You will then be prompted to select the type of lock to be created: USB, PoE or Z-Wave.
Select the type and click Next. The screen below will appear. Lock ID: A number between 1 and 9999. This must be unique for each lock. This value will autoincrement with each lock you create. Remember to manually administer this Lock ID at the lock itself as this value is not read by the lock but is very important to correctly Importing/Exporting via USB as well as in correctly deciphering the audit trail using the Events tab. Lock Name: A descriptive name for the lock.
Press Next and the User Access Times screen will appear. All Hour Access: If this is selected, the lock is accessible by users at any time. Roster System: Selecting this option allows access to the lock to be restricted to certain days and times. Note: this restriction does not apply to lock enrollees defined as Administrators. Days: Check the days the lock should be accessible. Date Range: If the lock should only be accessible for a date range, enter it here.
This screen controls the times that the lock is available to be in an unlocked mode. For example, a business may want their door unlocked from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. NOTE: Even if a time is programmed, the lock will not unlock until the first user successfully enters a fingerprint or PIN code. Invalid: This feature is disabled. This is the default mode. Work Days: The lock will unlock after the first user access during the specified periods. Set time from 12:00 AM to 12:00 AM to disable any particular day.
Click Next and the Holiday Mode screen will appear. This allows you to enter dates for Holidays. During these dates, the regular unlock schedule specified in the previous screen will not apply. The lock will remain locked for the entire day. Set the year to 2100 if the holiday date repeats each year. Click Next and the Finish screen will appear. Click Finish to save the lock settings and close the wizard.
Here is the Lock Screen showing the Test lock group with one lock in it – Room001. Note the user count for this lock is 0. Click on the lock in the left pane to show the lock information.
Adding a User To add a user, click the Lock button. The screen above will appear. Users may be added in two ways. 1. Click on the blue Add User Icon at the top left of the left pane, or 2. Right click on the lock in the left pane. Then select Add New User from the flyout menu. The User Wizard will appear. Click Next. The Add New User screen appears. Name: We recommend using a first and last name here (i.e. John Doe). Notes: Enter any information you wish about this user.
User ID: There are 3 classes of User. User IDs 1 - 3 are Lock Admins. User IDs 4 – 7 are Managers. User IDs 8 – 999 are Users. For an explanation of the privileges of the different user classes, see your RTS manual. Note that each User Id must be unique for locks within a given Lock Group but may be given to a different user within a different Lock Group. E.g.
You may choose to assign a PIN code, enroll fingerprints or both. The PIN code may be up to 10 digits and must be numeric. Enrolling a fingerprint requires a fingerprint scanner attached to your computer. You may enroll up to 3 fingers. Press Next and the User Access Times screen appears. This allows you to select the hours this user may access the lock(s) to which they are assigned. All Hour Access: If this is selected, the lock is accessible at any time.
Press Next and the Finish screen will appear. Press Finish to create the user. The Lock Screen with a user added is shown below. Editing a User To edit the user, double click or right click anywhere on the user row and select Edit. An abbreviated User form will be displayed. Modify the user’s information as necessary.
Removing a User To remove the user, right click on the user name and select Remove. You will be given the choice to remove the user from the current lock, all locks or some locks. You may highlight several users and choose to remove them. Adding Bulk Users The MS1 software can read a list of users from a .csv (Comma Separated Values) file. To do this, highlight a lock within the Lock group and select the blue User icon in the upper left of the lock form or right click on a lock.
You will now be asked for the Bulk User file name. You may select to have the first row of your file read as a header. Click the Browse button and browse to the desired .csv file. Note that only .csv files are displayed. Double click on the desired file or highlight the desired file and then click Open.
You will then return to the previous screen with the file name displayed in the Browse box. Click Next The following screen will be displayed. The following fields can be read from the csv file. First Name – Character – First Name of user – Mandatory Field. Note: If your user’s first and last name occupy the same cell in your spreadsheet, associate that column with this choice.
User ID – Numeric - User IDs 1 - 3 are Lock Admins. User IDs 4 – 7 are Managers. User IDs 8 – 999 are Users. – Mandatory Field Has Password – Numeric – Enter 1 to use a PIN code. Enter 0 if you do not want to use a PIN code. Password – Numeric - PIN Code. This may be up to 10 digits. Has FP Regular – Not used in this release. FP Regular - Not used in this release. Has FP Backup – Not used in this release. FP Backup - Not used in this release. Has FP Alarm – Not used in this release.
Now select user access times and click Next. You can later edit individual users to better tailor their access times as well as to enroll fingerprints. Click Finish and the users will be added.
Users are shown in the bottom left pane. Note that you may also Copy/Remove users within the Lock group by highlighting a user or users, right clicking, and making the appropriate selection – much like a cut/paste operation within MS Office. Events The events button will import and display a listing of the lock events that have occurred on a lock or lock group. NOTE: Events are deleted from a lock when they are imported so you should select the Export/Print option if you wish to retain this information.
Importing Events 1. Click on the desired lock in the left pane. Note: this sequence does not apply to RTS-Z models (see Z-Wave section for details). 2. Click the Import Lock Events button in the left pane above the lock. 3. Select USB or PoE lock from the flyout menu. 4. Select Yes to confirm importing events.
5. Click Close after the import summary is displayed showing you the number of Valid and Invalid records the MS1 has received from the selected lock. 6. Be sure the calendar FROM and TO dates in the top right pane are set correctly. You may also select a particular event type to search using the Events button to the right of the TO calendar. The default is All which will search for all events. 7. Click the Search button. This is the Magnifying Glass icon above the right pane. 8.
a. - Exports lock events to spreadsheet or text file. b. - Prints lock events. c. - Print previews lock events. d. - Deletes selected record(s). Z-Wave The Z-Wave Button allows the user to perform various Z-Wave functions between the MS1 and their RTS-Z lock or certain simple functions involving 3rd party Z-Wave certified devices (functions such as binary on/off).
These icons are used to either ‘Refresh’ (non-volatile) or ‘Reset’ (volatile) Z-Wave settings. These icons send a ‘Lock’, ‘Unlock’, or ‘Get Lock State’ command to the selected Z-Wave lock. These icons send ‘Sync Settings’ (send Lock settings), ‘Sync Users’ (send User FP and PIN info), and ‘Get Records’ (request Audit trail) to the selected Z-Wave lock. This icon is used to push firmware updates ‘Over The Air’ to the selected Z-Wave lock.
Please follow the steps to “Include/Add” theRTS-Z and RTS-PZ lock to a Z-Wave network: Use the MS1, a Z-Wave USB dongle installed on the same computer as the MS1, and a RTSZ lock Launch the MS1 and use the Z-Wave Setup Guide which launches automatically to locate and connect to the attached USB dongle. Once connected, you will see the message “Z-Wave Controller is connected”. Select the Lock tab in the left column. Create a Lock Group and Z-Wave lock(s) within that group.
Using the MS1, select the ‘Include’ (plus symbol) button. Again, you will see the waiting for information message on your MS1 screen. From the lock’s main menu item “7.Zwave”, select the “ZwaveInclusion” option by using the arrow keys to scroll to it and then pressing ‘M’ to select it. After a few seconds, you should see “Success” on the lock; the MS1 will again revert to an idle screen within the ZWave tab. Using the MS1, notice the “Unbind List” now has a node entry.
You will also notice the Lock symbol in the left column of the screen now has a “z” symbol showing it is recognized as a bound Z-Wave device. Now click on the Lock with the “z” symbol, select the ‘Refresh’ icon, and answer “Yes” to “Are you sure you wish to refresh nodes?” Select “Ok”. On the top row of icons, select the 2nd last icon, ‘Auto Routing’. You should now notice the array has been u p d a t e d in the lower quadrant of the MS1 to show a viable routing table between your PC and the RTS-Z.
From the interior side of the lock, press the ‘M’ button. You will see basic information about the lock displayed, such as voltage, firmware versions, etc. In the main menu of your RTS-Z or RTS-PZ, scroll up to “1.Lock setup”, press ‘M’ to select, then scroll to “4.Lock ID”, again pressing ‘M’ to select. Now use the up/down arrow keys to increment/decrement to the unique lock id that will be assigned to this lock. Press ‘M’ to save your selection. This will return you to the main menu.
Search conditions may be combined. The example below shows a search for all Login events by Administrator on May 27, 2015. Note that the Operator box performs a “like” search. It searches for entries containing the text entered into the box. After the records are displayed, they may be exported to a spreadsheet or text file, printed, cleared individually or all cleared using the buttons in the lower left pane. Settings General This screen allows configuration of various general Z-wave settings.
1. Do not show Zwave Setup Guide at startup – Normally, the Zwave Setup Guide is shown each time the MS1 is launched. See Page 2. Check this box to disable the Guide. If you had previously inhibited the display of the Zwave Setup Guide at startup, you can re-enable it here but unchecking this box. 2. Low Battery Alarm – If this box is checked, the RTS-Z will sound an alarm when a battery for any associated Z-wave device gets low. This is the default setting. Uncheck this box to disable the alarm. 3.
After making the desired changes or additions, click the Apply button to save the changes. Modify User This button allows changes to be made to the users of the MS1 software. The information is populated from the user database. The fields are the same as described above in the Add User section. Note, only the currently logged in user (Administrator or User) can make changes to this form, thereby only affecting their own password or fingerprint values.
1. Click on the down arrow to the right of the displayed login name to show all the enrolled users. 2. Click on the desired name to be deleted. 3. Click Apply. You will be asked to confirm the deletion. 4. Confirm the deletion by clicking Yes. Database Various tasks can be performed on the user database from this button.
