Operating the System
Overview of System Administration
The System Administrator (Editor) is a person who supervises the Easikey 1000
system. Usually the administrator adds and removes authorized users from the
system, directs what times and days users can pass through doors, and prints
reports that log daily access activity throughout the system.
Editor Key/Cards are standard Easikey electronic key/cards that have been
programmed into the system as a Sub Editor or Master Editor. This allows you to
use normal key/cards that may grant access through the doors on the system for
programming options.
The Easikey 1000 can have up to five System Administrators (Sub Editors) each
administrator holding a special key/card that allows the administrator to perform
special functions with the access system.
The Easikey 1000 also has a System Supervisor who is called a Master Editor
Key/Card. The Master Editor is the only editor that can Add or Delete the five
System Administrators (Sub Editors) along with the ability to perform all other
programming options.
Using the Editor Key/Cards
Editor key/cards allow the System Administrator to control the Easikey 1000.
With an editor key/card, the administrator can control doors, add and remove
authorized users, print reports, and other special system functions.
There are two types of Editor key/cards. The difference between the two types is
that only the Master Editor can add or remove Sub Editors, otherwise both types
have exactly the same function.
Master Editor Key/Card
You can only program one Master Editor key/card into the system. This special
key/card enables or disables the other Editor Key/Cards and adds and deletes
users to the system. This key/card is typically stored in the Easikey 1000's
enclosure, and used only to enable other Editor Key/Cards.
Your alarm company's installer created the Master Editor key/card when the
system is first installed. You can change the Master Editor key/card at a later
date if it is lost or stolen.
Sub Editor Key/Cards
The EK1000 requires you to present an Editor key/card to perform administration
tasks with the system. This allows the administrator access to editing functions
at the controller and also to accept alarms.
Editor Time-out
If after entering the Editor, no one presses any keys on the keypad or presents a
key/card to the EK1000's internal reader for three minutes, the Editor will 'time-
