Paring with the Aperio Programming Application

The Programming Application is used to access
detailed settings and encrypted communication
(Customer mode) during the pairing process of
locks/sensors and communication hubs.
Using the Programming Application also allows
you to establish encrypted communication
between locks/sensors and communication
hubs. This is achieved with a customer key,
obtained from your ASSA ABLOY supplier.
This chapter describes a complete installation,
applicable for most EAC system using a standard
configuration.
To communicate with communication hubs
and locks/sensors through the Programming
Application, you also need a USB Radio dongle.
For installation of the Programming Application
and the USB Radio dongle, refer to the Aperio
Online Programming Application manual, ref [1].

Information of encryption key

To obtain secure communication between
communication hubs and locks/sensors an
Encryption key is used. This Encryption Key
should be handled with the same care as the
Master Key in a traditional Master Key System.
A person with access to the Encryption key can
gain unauthorized access to any Aperio door in
the system. Once loaded into the Programming
Application, it will be stored encrypted in a local
database and should be erased from the hard
drive.
The encryption key file is delivered from your
local ASSA ABLOY company and should be be
stored safely.
Proper handling of encryption keys is
essential to lock/sensor security!
It is absolutely necessary to use the
customer encryption key by setting all
communication hubs and locks/sensors
in Customer mode to ensure a secure
and encrypted communication with the
lock/sensor.
