5.2 OMEGA FLEX system functions
The validity is specified in OMEGA Client. Both, the V-NET and the LINE Locking media can be
assigned a validity. However, it is not mandatory to specify the validity for a locking media.
In the V-NET, the validity data can be transmitted through a Desktop-Writer or an Update-
Terminal to a locking media. After expiry of validity, a locking media must be reprogrammed so
that it can be used again.
In the case of LINE a programming job is automatically created after the validity has expired. If a
wireless online network is used, the programming jobs are automatically transmitted to the
locking devices.
The validity is set via the CEStronics Suite. A detailed manual is available in the OMEGA Suite Help.
5.2.7 Validation of the locking media
This function requires the use of the OMEGA Suite software.
The validation is a backup function in the V-NET. It specifies an expiry date for the locking media.
From this date onwards, the locking media cannot be used any more.
Through the validation devices (Wall terminals, Key-Points and Update-Terminals) the expiry date
can be extended. How frequently the expiry date must be extended is determined by you in that
you specify the validation interval in the OMEGA Client.
Example: Company employees must validate their locking media every day at a Wall terminal at
the company entrance, so that their locking media are usable.
Wall terminals and Update-Terminals are connected to the OMEGA Server via wireless online
network; Key-Points via LAN. This enables all validation devices to read all events stored in the
locking media and transmit it to the OMEGA Server. Key Points additionally transmit all other
pending programming jobs to the locking media (e.g. alterations in the locking authorisations)
during validation.
A regularly necessary validation ensures that a locking media that has fallen into the hands of
unauthorised persons, can be blocked quickly and easily by the validation devices. Blocked locking
media are not accepted by the locking devices as a rule.
Only locking media which are in service, can be validated.
Example: A locking media is validfor one year, however, it must be validated every day anew.
The validation is done via the CEStronics Suite. A detailed manual is available in the OMEGA Suite
Help.
