2. Lock types
The E-Plex 5900 currently supports one of the two lock types with lock functions as:
Cylindical lock without thumbturn, supporting an "Entry" lock function.
Cylindrical or mortise lock with privacy thumbturn (with deadbolt for mortise), supporting a "Privacy" lock
function [** this model is for future offering only; currently not available ""]
The type of lock is configured through this access control system's "Admin card" programmed by the on-line
headend system. Currently the E-Plex supports the DESFire card as user credential which is an ISO 14443A
compatible read/write RF card. It is important that the lock type be correctly setup at the outset because detection
of 'door forced' and 'door open from inside' conditions relies on it. The factory default of an E-PLex 5900 lock
function is "Entry" with the lock type being a cylindrical lock without a privacy thumbturn.
3. Operation modes
The lock operates in one of the following modes:
Factory
Construction
Access
Bootloader
3.1 Factory mode
Out of the box, the lock is in factory mode with a lock function as "Entry" and with an 8-digit PIN to open the lock as
12345678. This mode provides the operator with a known initial state. The operator can:
Unlock the lock by entering the default PIN on the keypad: 12345678
Change the default PIN
Validate the lock electronics hardware components
In this mode, only the factory default PIN of 12345678 will open the lock but not users' DESFire cards.
3.2 Construction mode
Once the default PIN is changed, the lock enters construction mode. This mode is used until the lock can be
configured using an admin card (which requires the enrollment system to be in place at the headend access
control system). The operator can:
Unlock the lock by entering the new construction mode PIN on the keypad
Communicate with a maintenance unit (M-Unit) which is typically a Windows Mobile 5.0 compatible
handheld PDA, using the default communications key (16 zeros) to access the following functionalities:
