What does the Directory Sync Mode screen include in Axessor Apexx Software

Question

What does the Directory Sync Mode screen include in Axessor Apexx Software?

Answer

Lock systems that consist of an Apexx eBox and a networked connection to a computer hosting the Apexx Series Software allow an administrative Software User the ability to use the software to configure and change the lock system settings. A lock system using this method for management and configuration is said to be in "Directory Sync Mode". 

Note: A Lock System is put into Directory Sync Mode when the first default administrator is sent to the lock system

If you do not have an eBox, see USB Communication for information on how to configure your lock system using a USB connection to Apexx Series Software.

Directory Sync Mode - Lock Users 

In Directory Sync Mode, new Lock Users are pushed to the lock system via Apexx Series Software when one of the following actions occurs: 
• A new Lock User is created and added to a Lock Access Group that has the lock system assigned to
  it 
• When the lock system is assigned to a Lock Access Group. When this occurs, all active Lock Users assigned to that Lock Access Group will be pushed to the lock system.
