5.6 Administration via V-NET

5.6.1 About OMEGA FLEX V-NET
V-NET refers to a virtual network of locking media and locking devices. Locking authorisations
thereby are not stored in the locking device but rather in the locking media. Communication
between locking devices and locking media also provides for additional information exchange e.g.
whether a locking medium is to be blocked or the transmission of events.
Example: An employee looses his locking media. A replacement media will be issued to him that
can be used immediately. During each authentication at locking device, the replacement media
transmits the information that the lost predecessors media must be blocked if case an access
attempt is made at the locking device.
If additional validation devices (Key-points and Wall terminals) are used, the V-Net enables use of
the validation of locking media.
5.6.1.1 Replacement media
A replacement media is a locking media in V-NET which contains the data of its predecessor
media. If a replacement media is used on locking devices, it transmits information to the locking
devices that its predecessor media must be blocked. If the replacement media is used on these
locking devices, then the replacement media will be blocked and cannot be used on any locking
device.
5.6.2 Principle of administration via V-NET
In the V-NET, the administration takes place via locking media. Authorisations and other settings
are not stored in the locking device but rather in the locking media.
The connection between the locking media and the OMEGA Client can be established in two
ways:
Without the validation devices, the connection between the locking media and the OMEGA
l
Client is done exclusively via the Desktop-Writer.
With validation devices, the connection between the locking media and OMEGA Client can
l
also be established by means of validation devices.
