Operation Summary
The following diagram describes the overall process flow of how ECKey operates when controlled by selected settings. For more
details please browse the ECKey Knowledge Base in the support section of
1)
The ECKey unit searches for discoverable phones. All phones must be discoverable. The Status Light will be slowing flashing blue.
2)
When the ECKey unit detects a phone the unit determines whether to consider the phone based on the Identification setting. The options are:
All Phones (default – no pairing required), Paired Phones (pairing required) or Authenticated Phones (pairing required, see description of settings
below for more details). The Status Light will be slowing flashing blue on the EK6-0C and red on the EK6-0D.
3)
If pairing is required a new phone is found within the Pairing Range and Pairing is Automatic (see description of settings below for more
details) ECKey will automatically try to register the phone by requesting to pair with it. When this is occurring the Status Light will quickly flash
blue.
4)
Once a phone is identified, its range is monitored until a trigger event is received as defined by the Trigger setting. The options are: when the
phone is In Range Only (default), In Range and a PIN is Entered, In Range and a Sensor is Triggered. The range is defined by the Range setting.
The Status Light will be slowing flashing blue on the EK6-0C and red on the EK6-0D.
5)
Once the phone has met the trigger criteria, ECKey will create a Weigand message associated with the Bluetooth address of the phone and the
passkey. If the relay is configured it will also trigger at this time. The Status Light will be solid blue for 3 seconds.
6)
The EK6 does not monitor the phones. While the phone is in range ECKey will keep sending the Wiegand message through every Delay period.
7)
There is no close message associated with the EK6. The ECKey unit will continue to search for phones.
