Discovering / Assigning Wireless Locks

After Gateways have been discovered and added to the
Account, physical locks may now be discovered and
assigned to the Gateways (or Expanders). More commonly,
this is accomplished in two steps:
locks, then assigning them to the Gateway(s)/Expander(s).
Note: After lock discovery and lock assignment to a
Gateway, locks are then "Linked" to Lock Profiles.
Therefore, before proceeding, we recommend that you
create Lock Profiles for each physical lock you wish to
assign to a Gateway.
If you plan to use Expanders, it is
recommend to add the Expanders to
the Gateway before discovering
locks. Locks may receive stronger
signals from an Expander and
cannot be quickly moved from a Gateway to an
Expander after assignment. Refer to page 32
for information regarding Expander discovery .
DISCOVERING LOCKS
The lock "discovery" process (search) can be performed in
one of two ways:
● In the Gateway Configuration screen, click to select the
desired Gateway to which the installed lock will be
assigned. Then in the Number of Locks to Discover pull-
down, select the number of physical locks you wish to
attempt to discover, then click Discover Locks. Note:
The selected Gateway will transmit a discovery request
radio signal. Only the locks that are close enough to
receive the signal will respond. In addition, only locks that
not yet been assigned to a Gateway (or Expander) will
respond. By selecting the number of physical locks to be
discovered, the discovery process will stop the instant the
selected number of locks are found.
The lock discovery procedure will then be carried out by
each added expander (if applicable). Note: Lock discovery
time increases by approximately 30 seconds with each
added Expander.
The discovery process may also be stopped at any time by
clicking the Abort button (this will also return the list of locks
found up until the time the Abort button was clicked).
● This second procedure is identical to the above
procedure, except the lock discovery process is started
using Locks > Discover Locks.
TIP For a lock to be considered "unassigned"
to a Gateway, it must be manually reset
("defaulted"). See the programming instructions
that came with the lock for the reset procedure.

After locks are discovered, the following Discovered Locks
popup automatically appears
discovered locks for the selected Gateway:
The discovered locks displayed in the screen above are those
physical locks that were able to be discovered based on their range
to the selected Gateway or Expander. (For more information about
signal levels, see page 50 for definitions of GTW Rx and LCK Rx).
The "Discovered By" column will display either "GW" (for Gateway)
or "Exp-#" (for Expander number).
Click to add a check to the checkbox next to the serial
number for each lock you wish to assign to the selected
Gateway (or Expander), then click Assign. The following
message appears as locks are assigned:
