Permissions and Schedules
Each key contains a specific list of authorized locks and a schedule of when they may be accessed. For example, a key can be programmed to allow access to one or several locks from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. Keys presented outside of this schedule are denied access.
Key Expirations
Keys can be assigned a start date and an expiration date. This means keys can be issued before they become active, and can be set to expire at a specific time in the future. Key holders must reauthorize keys before access will be granted again. Setting short-term expiration dates is an excellent way to minimize risk due to lost or stolen keys.
When a CyberKey Meets a CyberLock
When it first makes contact, a key energizes a lock. A split second exchange of information determines if the key is at an approved lock within an authorized time frame. Access is then either granted or denied and that action, along with a date and time stamp, is recorded to the memories of both the key and the lock.
