Programming the KeyPad

When the KeyPad is connected to the KeyAdvantage software by means of the programming base, the
programming in the KeyPad can be read, diagnosed and changed. Each time that the KeyPad is placed on
the programming base during check in the vehicle access audit trail in the KeyPad is uploaded to the system
software.
Modify KeyPads
After connecting the KeyPad to the system software by placing it on the programming base, you can:
• Change the KeyPad status. Only a KeyPad in Active status can be checked out and used to access
KeyBoxes. KeyPads in Inactive or Lost status cannot be checked out.
• Check the battery level in the KeyPad
• Change the Notes information in the KeyPad
See "Modifying KeyBoxes"
Check Out KeyPad
KeyPads are checked out at the beginning of the key holder's shift and are updated only for that day. When a
KeyPad is not checked out by a valid user, the KeyPad cannot access a KeyBox. KeyPads are checked out using
the KeyAdvantage programming base.
During the checkout process:
• The KeyPad assumes the permissions of the key holder as set up in the KeyAdvantage system software.
• If the KeyPad was not checked in at the end of the previous user's shift, the KeyAdvantage software
checks in the KeyPad and uploads the previous key holder's access activity before checking out the
KeyPad to the new user.
See "Checking Out KeyPads"
Check In KeyPad
KeyPads are checked in at the end of the user's shift.
During the check-in process:
• The KeyPad uploads all access activity and KeyBox read information that occurred during the shift.
• The KeyPad expires, regardless of the end-of-shift time profile of the key holder.
See "Checking In KeyPads"
