Question

How to Upload Time Windows using Auditcon 2 Series Software?

Answer 

By default, the lock is set to have No Window Restriction for all seven days. This means that users can open the lock at any time during any day. This option allows time window access to be programmed at the PC and then uploaded to the lock.

From the Locks menu: 

1. Select Upload Time Windows. 

The “Time Window Upload” screen is displayed.

Note: If you have set the Time Window Dialog Setting to “Use time window settings last entered”, the data displayed in the screen will default to the last data entered. See the “System Settings” option on the Settings Menu for details.

2. To change the window settings for a given day, click on the Change Window Settings box for that day. If the box is not checked, the lock window settings will not be affected for that day and will remain set to whatever values are currently set at the lock.

Note: The time window access values will default to “no window restriction” at the lock unless defined otherwise via manual programming at the lock or via data upload to the lock from the software.

Once the Change Window Settings box has been selected for a specific day, the other input fields for that day will become enabled for data entry.

       2a. If you want No Window Restriction (24 hour access) for the selected day, select the
            appropriate box. All other input fields will become unavailable for that day. 

      2b. If you want no lock access allowed for the selected day, select the No Access box. All other
           input fields will become unavailable for that day. 

      2c. If you want to limit access to a certain time period of the selected day, define an access time
           window by entering a Start Time and End Time under the Window 1 section of the screen.
          Specify all times in HH:MM format. Enter times as they would be set at the lock. If the time in 
          the locks is set to GMT, use the same GMT time here. If set to local time at the lock, use the
          standard 24-hour format (00:00 to 23:59).

Caution: If a GMT offset is set, it is NOT used to adjust the values entered in Start Time and End Time. The time values entered should reflect lock times. There can be some drifting in the lock clocks in the Model 500 and 552 locks, up to 15 minutes per year. Because of this possible variance, there should be minor allowances made in both the starting time and the ending time when setting time windows.

Note: When data is entered for Window 1, the same Start and End Time will automatically be filled in for Window 2.

3. Tab to the Start Time in Window 2. If you want to define a second access time window for the
    selected day, update the Start Time and End Time under the Window 2 section of the screen to the
    values for the second window.

Note: If you do not choose to define a second window, the second window will default to the same time period as the first window

Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each day that you would like to define lock access. 

4. Once you are finished with the Time Windows screen, ensure that a Smart Key has been placed in
   the key reader and click on OK. 

A window will be displayed indicating that the SA key was written successfully.

5. Click on OK to return to the Main Menu. 

6. The key should now be taken to the lock to upload time windows to the lock.

Note: Previous to uploading the Time Window information to a lock, the lock must have been programmed, including the setting of the lock date and time.
