How do you commission and connect your Lock System in Axessor Apexx Software?

Answer

Before connecting your Lock System to the computer or software, you must first commission the Lock System and connect all of its components as outlined in the Axessor Apexx Installation Guide (follow the instructions below).

After the physical installation of the safe lock equipment is complete, the devices must be logically installed (commissioned). Commissioning can be conveniently performed using the keypad’s menu system.

1. In the keypad menu, highlight the Add Devices icon, then press the Enter key.

2. “Checking System…” appears on the screen while a system check is performed. The number of devices found will be displayed. Press the Enter key to view all detected devices.

3. “Add Devices” appears along with a list of all new or detected devices. Highlight the lock you want to commission, then press the Enter key.

   NOTICE: You must commission a lock before adding any other devices.

4. “Enter Lock Number (1–16)” appears. Use the numeric keys to enter a valid lock number (1–16), then press the Enter key .

   NOTICE: It is recommended that Lock #1 be used for the outer door.

6. “Enter New Administrator ID” appears. Use the numeric keys to enter a new Administrator ID (1–10 digits), then press the Enter key.

7. “Set PIN Length” appears. Highlight one of the PIN length options, then press the Enter key. To save the setting, highlight Save, then press the Enter key.

8. “Enter Administrator PIN” appears. Enter a PIN for the new user, then press the Enter key.

   NOTICE: For improved security, ensure that PINs are not simple (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) or easy to guess (such as dates or addresses).

9. “Confirm Administrator PIN” appears. Re-enter the PIN to confirm, then press the Enter key .

10. “Select Group” appears. Highlight a group name and press the Enter key. Scroll to the bottom of the screen, highlight Save and press the Enter key.
