Wi-Q Gateway recognizes all Wireless Controllers within its antenna range. One Wi-Q
Gateway can control as many as 64 Wireless Controllers in a system.
4 Wireless Controller
The Wireless Controller is equipped with Wi-Q Technology that controls user access
at the door. The basic configuration is battery operated, with either keypad or card
reading capability and an internal antenna that communicates with the Wi-Q Gateway.
The Wireless Controller grants user requests according to how they are configured in
the System Software.
Note The terms “Controller” and “Lockset” are used synonymously throughout this guide.
The System Software uses the term “Reader” to refer to wireless locks, while the Wi-Q
Interface Software uses the term “Controller.”
Basic Operation
The system works very simply. A user enters a pass code at a Wireless Controller, either
using an access card or by entering a code on a keypad. If the controller recognizes the
credential from the configured settings downloaded from the Host via the Wi-Q Gateway
to the controller, the door opens. The controller also sends regular signals (beacons) to the
Wi-Q to let it know that it’s working properly. If a controller goes offline, the Host receives
a message from the Wi-Q Gateway.
Additional System Configurations
Wi-Q Interface supports various system configurations. For example, some locations at
your segment may already be hard wired with legacy equipment or additional input or
output devices. You can include a Wireless Access Controller that links a hard wired strike
and controller with a Wi-Q Gateway. For more information about various applications you
can adapt for use with Wi-Q Interface, see “Hardware Overview” on
