is replacing, since the Guest level address is not transferred when resetting lock
addresses. The Guest keycard will continue to function in the replacement lock.
If the old lock is not able to communicate with the FDU, then the addresses can be copied
from the lock of the next guest room. In all likelihood, this lock contains all of the same
Sub-master addresses as the defective lock.
5.4.2 Expanding a Sub-Master Address
The Sub-Master addresses (Section, Floor, Group, Zone and Area) are also known as
Variable addresses because they can be modified to reflect changes in staff access
patterns. Variable addresses can be altered without affecting the valid keycards for other
levels in two ways:
(i)
Using a Reset keycard (seeSsection 4.2.5 – Reset Keycards)
or
(ii)
Using the FDU to Reset the lock addresses, as explained below.
Occasionally, it may be desired to expand a Sub-Master level address to include several
new rooms. For example, it may be decided that Group 2, which currently includes
Floors 10-15, should also include Floors 16-20. There may be several keycards already in
circulation for Group 2 that would be inconvenient to replace. If Group 2 is expanded by
using a Group 2 Reset keycard in locks on Floors 16-20, these locks will recognize a later
time stamp for Group 2 than the locks on Floors 10-15. Consequently, the Group 2
keycards currently in circulation will work on Floors 10-15, but not on Floors 16-20.
Alternatively, Group 2 can be expanded without needing to issue new Group 2 keycards,
by resetting the addresses in locks on Floors 16-20 using the valid keycard data from a
lock that is already in Group 2, taken from one of the locks on Floors 10-15.
The FDU
allows the selection of which Sub-master addressesare to be sent to the receiving lock.
In this example, it is important to deselect all but the Group Sub-master level, so that
other address levels, such as the Floor, are not changed.
