E-Plex Advanced The E-Plex 5200 and E-Plex 5700 door locks are designed to limit and control entry to an area or premises through the use of a numeric combination (PIN) entered via the keypad, for both the E-Plex 5200 and E-Plex 5700, and the presentation of a proximity token (Prox Card), for the E-Plex 5700.
Access Mode – This mode refers to a lock that is operational for user access. When the lock is in Access Mode, the method of lock access is PIN only for the E-Plex 5200. The method of lock access for the E-Plex 5700 is PIN only, Prox Card only, or PIN and Prox Card.
About the E-Plex Advanced ACS Prox Card Only (E-Plex 5700 only) Only the presentation of a valid Prox Card is required to access the lock. PIN and Prox Card (E-Plex 5700 only) The entry of a valid PIN followed by the presentation of a valid associated Prox Card is required to access the lock.
Door Groups You can define an unlimited amount of door groups in both the system database and the lock. A door group represents a group of physical doors that contain the E-Plex 5200 and/or the E- Plex 5700 locks. Access Schedules You can define an unlimited amount of Access Schedules in the system database.
About the E-Plex Advanced ACS Because you may specify whether the door access method is PIN (E-Plex 5200/E-Plex 5700), Prox Card (E-Plex 5700 only), or both (E-Plex 5700 only), the different access schedules in the system cannot overlap. If you have a need for periods of time where access for certain groups of users overlaps partially, you will need to break those time periods into separate access schedules.
Service User – A Service User has authorization any time of day to a lock for a specified period of time, from 1 hour to 24 hours from the first time he or she enters the PIN, or for one-time entry. The Service User has PIN only access to the E-Plex 5200 or E-Plex 5700 locks.

To program locks, the M-Unit User uses the M-Unit to transfer lock data from the E-Plex Advanced ACS software to the E-Plex 5200/E-Plex 5700 lock. Note: Before you can transfer lock data to E-Plex 5200/E-Plex 5700 locks, you must first prepare the data in the E-Plex Advanced ACS software. Refer to Programming Locks in chapter 3, Using the E-Plex Advanced ACS Software, for more information.
