Example: You want to issue a locking media to a new employee already before the
commencement of his work, however, the locking media should only be usable from his first
working day.
In addition, the end-date of the validity ensures that from a chosen time onwards, no access can
be made.
Locking media must be valid so that they can
l
open locking devices
l
can be validated
The validity is specified in OMEGA Client. Both, the V-NET and the LINE Locking media can be
assigned a validity. However, it is not mandatory to specify the validity for a locking media.
In the V-NET, the validity data can be transmitted through a Desktop-Writer or an Update-
Terminal to a locking media. After expiry of validity, a locking media must be reprogrammed so
that it can be used again.
In the case of LINE a programming job is automatically created after the validity has expired. If a
wireless online network is used, the programming jobs are automatically transmitted to the
locking devices.
The validity is set via the CEStronics Suite. A detailed manual is available in the
OMEGA Suite Help
.
5.4 About the blocking of locking media
In V-NET, the locking media which are not supposed to be in use are not deleted but rather
blocked
. The information that a locking media is blocked is stored in the locking media. Locking
devices have
block lists
, which contain the blocked locking media. Each authorisation attempt
triggers the following:
l
The locking device checks whether the locking media is blocked. Only unblocked locking
media are accepted.
l
If a locking media is unblocked but is on the block list, the locking device transmits inform
ation to the locking media that this locking media is blocked.
The locking media are blocked via the CEStronics Suite. A detailed manual is available in the
OMEGA Suite Help
